Friday’s front pages continue their coverage of the fallout from the Spring Budget, which Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced earlier in the week. Several papers highlight fears over how the tax cuts will be paid for with one publication suggesting it could blow a £40bn hole in finances. Another paper questions why neither of the main two parties are willing to explain spending cuts before the upcoming 2024 election. 

Many of Monday’s newspapers continue to share their expectations for the Wednesday Budget. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is hoping to introduce tax cuts in the upcoming Budget – a key policy for Conservatives – but several front pages warn that a squeeze on public spending to fund the tax cuts could leave the country facing even worse living standards.
