Hunt has said he favours higher rates to cure inflation, even if it means a recession.
All well and good, maybe. However, if the rates continue to rise he will need to cut taxes to mitigate the effects on people trying to pay their mortgages and credit card bills.
Why is inflation high and how are we going to halve it?
