Summary
As the country gears up for the general election, Wednesday's budget may be the last before the voters go to the polls. Hailed as "a budget to save the Tory party", speculation has been mounting that the chancellor will cut taxes as a last-ditch attempt to boost the Conservatives' plunging support. <br /><br />To afford the move, funding to public services could be slashed - but Jeremy Hunt has insisted any cuts will be done "responsibly". <br /><br />On today's episode, Sophy Ridge looks ahead to the budget. She's joined by deputy political editor Sam Coates and pollster Scarlett Maguire to unpack whether cutting taxes really is the way to a Conservative election win. <br /><br />Producer: Soila Apparicio <br />Assistant producer: Iona Brunker <br />Interviews producer: Melissa Tutesigensi-Charles <br />Promotion producer: Jada-Kai Meosa John <br />Editor: Philly Beaumont
