UK PM Rishi Sunak Pledges Tax Cuts Funded by Welfare and Spending Cuts

Sunak's pledge sets up a clear contrast with the Labour Party's proposed tax rises, sparking mixed reactions within the Conservative Party.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pledged to cut taxes before and after the upcoming general election, funded by curbing benefits and government spending.
Sunak's comments suggest that the Conservative Party's election manifesto will commit to further tax cuts, with a focus on levies 'on work'.
Sunak has hinted at a potential income tax cut in the March 6 Budget, which could be partly funded by further welfare reforms.
Sunak's tax cut pledge has been met with mixed reactions, with some Conservative backbenchers welcoming the move, while others have expressed disappointment over the lack of focus on inheritance tax.
Sunak's comments have set up a clear contrast with the Labour Party, which has proposed concrete tax rises, including scrapping non-dom status and adding VAT to private school fees.
