Rishi Sunak vows to cut taxes in Autumn budget

BREAKING NEWS: RISHI Sunak today declared cutting taxes on ordinary Brits will be his "priority" from now on.

The Chancellor said he's committed to reducing the amount paid by workers as he hailed the UK's recovery from Covid.

He said yesterday's budget was a "demonstration of intent" and that he's "not comfortable" with the current tax burden.

Asked about his plans for future spending today, he said: "My ambition is to lower taxes for people. That's what I would like to do.

"As Chancellor, we had to take some corrective reaction as a result of the crisis and the response we took to it, but hopefully that is now done.

"And as we demonstrated yesterday, our priority is to make sure that work pays and we reward people's efforts.

"I'm delighted we could make a start on that. I made a very clear demonstration of our intent yesterday."

Pressed on the fact he's raised taxes by more than any Chancellor since 1993, he replied: "I'm not happy about that and I'm not comfortable about it.
