Chancellor Jeremy Hunt plans to cut national insurance by 2% after the Autumn Statement. Tories commit to maintaining the pensions triple lock ahead of the General Election. Rishi Sunak proposes £46 billion in tax cuts with unclear funding sources. Sunak guarantees the pensions triple lock at the next election. Hunt aims to raise the £100,000 earnings threshold for free childcare post-election, stating it's not a huge salary in Surrey.
