The Observer  – Tax cuts will backfire, economists warn Hunt

The Observer’s front splash leads on a warning that pre-election cuts to tax and spending could “cost the country dear.” Two former advisors to the Treasury tell the paper that the Chancellor should focus on long-term measures to spur investment and growth instead of making decisions aimed at “sabotaging prospects for the next government”. 

There have been signs of tensions between the Treasury and No 10 as the PM reportedly pushes harder for tax reductions, the paper adds.
