Today, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, delivered his highly anticipated autumn statement to the House of Commons. Today’s announcements were intended to re-assure the markets following his predecessor’s disastrous mini budget a few weeks ago. The Chancellor stated everyone is concerned for the future and there is a need to tackle the cost-of-living crisis and stabilise the economy.

The coming months could be very bumpy indeed.”
