Observer
“Jeremy Hunt is expected to raid the public finances to conjure some pre-election goodies in his budget on 6 March. He will create the headroom for tax cuts mainly by tightening the squeeze already imposed on Whitehall departments. And whoever takes over after the election will find gaping funding holes, empty coffers, high debt and low growth. As legacies go, Hunt’s is on course to rank as one of the worst”.
Any tax cuts will only appease his party members. The voter wants better public services, particularly health. There was no budget “bump” after the autumn statement and it is highly unlikely that the budget next week will be any more popular.
However, if there is a glimmer of hope say from a rise in the polls for Tory support - then expect an election in the spring.
It can’t come soon enough.
