Quite a lot of commentary that Hunt has gone further than expected. But such is the size of the fiscal hole that most of the work still needs to be done. This will probably include another big tax increase and I don’t think Conservative MPs are remotely prepared for that. — PolitiTweet.org

Sensible move to scrap 1p cut in basic rate of income tax. But as the Chancellor hinted, there will probably have to be further revenue raisers on 31 October. — PolitiTweet.org

If the Chancellor does increase the rates of one of the big taxes (probably necessary to reassure the markets, I would argue), this will be a real test of Tory MPs especially on the right. If they refuse to back him, this runs the risk of undermining market confidence. — PolitiTweet.org

Using VAT to fill the hole is less anti-growth than a NICs rise. We purists would prefer it. And the ground has a… https://t.co/edF5E4TJ7U
David Gauke @DavidGauke
This will come as a shock to Conservative MPs but to recover credibility it will be necessary (but not sufficient) for the HSCL to be implemented (that is, a NICs increase) or for higher VAT or income tax rates to be announced this morning. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
Reversing the 1p cut in income tax may not be enough. Very likely that the new Chancellor will have to pull one of the big tax levers - income tax, NI or VAT - to raise more revenue. — PolitiTweet.org

@oflynnsocial I agree with that. But the energy support package is temporary which is why the markets appear to be less worried about it. This also means making savings here (as we should) isn’t sufficient to restore confidence. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
It is evident that the public finances are in a mess and very tough decisions are needed to put them on a sustainable footing & reassure the markets. Yet both main parties favour reducing the basic rate of income tax. Can’t see how that is affordable. — PolitiTweet.org

@redhistorian Very good point. I don't think the Labour issue gets enough attention given the probable result of the next election. (I think nearly everyone recognises that the Tory system is wrong & damaging for the country but just not applied the same thinking to Labour.) — PolitiTweet.org

Her audiences were Conservative MPs, the public and the markets. None have been convinced. That won't do. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
She really needed to throw everything at reassuring the markets - this was no time for half measures. But she didn't do anything else on tax (leaving her with £25bn of unfunded tax cuts) but made vague promises on public spending. Don't see how she's going to deliver that. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
There was no real acceptance of responsibility, no apology. Then, when it came to the policy issue - how to deliver sustainable public finances - she needed to convince the markets that she had a plan. Dropping her corporation tax policy had been priced in - what else was there? — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
Why didn't it do? The PM's statement failed both in tone & substance. For the last 3 weeks, people have had sleepless nights worrying about paying the mortgage, their business going under etc because of avoidable mistakes made by the PM and Chancellor. Some contrition was needed. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
This is from yesterday for @NewStatesman. In policy terms, the PM is getting there but I suspect she is still relying on implausible levels of spending cuts. And there needs to be at least some empathy & contrition. https://t.co/2veIj59avg — PolitiTweet.org

That won’t do. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
My piece for @NewStatesman from yesterday on why it was only a matter of time before there would be a reversal of the Government’s tax policy. By the looks of it, matters now moving very quickly - this explains why. https://t.co/2veIj59avg — PolitiTweet.org
