Top 5 takeaways from Jeremy Hunt's autumn statement
This is Jeremy Hunt’s second Autumn Statement.
His 2022 statement came shortly after he replaced Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor of the Exchequer, following his predecessor’s controversial so-called ‘mini-budget’.
With his party far behind in the polls, and a general election on the horizon next year, the chancellor will hope that the economic measures announced today will prove popular enough to start closing the gap with Labour.
In response Hunt’s Labour counterpart, Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves, accused the government of 13 years of economic failure.

Gareth Southgate has resigned as manager of the England men’s national football team after almost eight years at the helm. It comes just two days after England’s defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024. Despite that disappointment, Southgate has taken the Three Lions to two European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final during his time in charge. Prince William, President of the Football Association (FA), tweeted his thanks to Southgate for his leadership. The FA says the process to appoint Southgate’s successor has begun, and they aim to have a new manager confirmed as soon as possible. Report by Jonesia.
