Jeremy Hunt rules out tax cuts as he says Brexit will grow economy

Jeremy Hunt has outlined his vision of using Brexit to drive economic growth in his latest economic plan announcement.

The chancellor also said he was prioritising reducing inflation over bringing in any tax cuts.

Other key aspects of his plan are to "stop the boats," referring to undocumented immigration, and to cut NHS waiting times.
