'Will do whatever it takes' Hunt pitches plan to fix economy as Tory support at record low

Jeremy Hunt has laid out his plan to stabilise the creaking UK economy and said he will do “whatever it takes” after support for the Conservative Party plunged to the lowest level of support in British polling history. The Chancellor said in a statement: “Strong public finances are the foundation of a strong economy. To stabilise markets, I’ve been clear that protecting our public finances means difficult decisions lie ahead. 

We will do whatever is necessary to get drive down debt in the medium term and to ensure that taxpayers’ money is well spent, putting the public finances on a sustainable path as we grow the economy.”
