The Metro splashes on Jeremy Hunt’s first budget where he announced millions more Britons will pay more tax. The paper says the budget delivers the biggest plunge in living standards and highest tax burden since World War Two.

“You’ve never had it so bad” says the Metro’s headline. It reports that families will face a typical £3,000 annual energy bill as support is reduced from April, adding that nearly six million earners will be dragged into higher tax bands in the next five years.

The front page also features a good luck message to England ahead of the World Cup.
