Today, Mr Hunt stressed that the government is responsible for doing what is necessary to bring about economic stability He noted that it's vital for businesses making investment decisions, and for families concerned about jobs, mortgages and the cost of living crisis currently sweeping across the country.
What mini-budget policies will remain? Among his wave of reversals brought in today, Mr Huny notably left out any changes to the reversal of the National Insurance increase and the Health and Social Care Levy, as well as cuts to Stamp Duty Land Tax.
