I can’t see them cutting taxes in the Autumn statement, still a lot of work bringing inflation down to be done a tax cut would unravel all that.

They are absolutely going to cut some taxes, the only question is which ones. It had looked like IHT was going to get a cut - either reduced rate or increased caps - but now that looks off the table. (Thankfully, because that was a fucking terrible idea, in that only a small number of people who are already relatively well off would benefit).

Personally, I hope he just raises the personal allowance so that everyone earning less than £125k benefits. (You don't get any personal allowance at all anyway if you earn more than that.)

Pretty sure there will be some kind of tax cut somewhere but more will come in March. Doubt they will make much difference either to peoples pockets or their poll ratings though.

1992 all over again.

Temporary tax cuts to bribe people into voting for them.

whatever they are going to do its decided already regardless of what anyone suggests or asks for as if you recall the OBR say they need about a week to prepare their report - they know what happens if you hold a fiscal event with nothing from the OBR to back its up its lettuce time again so the OBR data and report will have been with Hunt since the middle of last week and there will be no changes now in time for next Wednesday

Our new Health Secretary the Lincolnshire MP Victoria Atkins, is married to British Sugar managing director Paul Kenward. No bias here then,

Ah, Tate and Lyle - the only big firm to advocate Brexit, so they could import more sugar cane, and currently trying to break the collective NFU deal for British beet sugar.

Sorry, no. British Sugar isn't Tate and Lyle.

So we're expecting a slight short of the markets so **** and his tory mate get some more cash betting on it?

Every 5 years all over again. Bribing (or trying to bribe) the electorate is standard behaviour for every government, Labour and Tory, for the past like, er, forever.
