The Government has released a promotional video for the autumn budget statement, being made at 11.30am today. The statement will hike taxes and cut Government spending - as well as changing pensions, benefits, minimum wage and energy bills.
In a video produced by the Treasury, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said: “Today we are having to take some difficult decisions to restore stability, bring inflation down and balance the nation’s books.
“So this is our plan to build a stronger economy, protect public services and make sure we look after our most vulnerable.”
In the Government’s promotional video for the autumn statement, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “Today’s statement will help deliver the long-term stability this country needs.”
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said it would create a “stronger, fairer United Kingdom”.
Business Secretary Grant Shapps said it would “support the most vulnerable with rising energy costs and asking energy companies to pay their fair share”.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said investment would focus on “skills and ensuring the British people have access to greater opportunities”.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said it would “deliver on our promise of a stronger NHS and tackling the Covid backlogs”.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the Government would “make our streets safer, support our security services and control migration”.
