Metro – Hunt election budget battle plan: Hunt and Run
Metro leads on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s hopes that his spring budget will pull the rug from under Labour rivals ahead of the general election.
The paper reports on the announcement of a 2p cut to National Insurance and says that the change will lower contributions for 27 million workers and will allow someone earning £35,000 to keep an extra £450 a year.
The paper says the chancellor has “drawn up battle lines for the election”.
