Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says the long memories of voters will count for more on polling day than the recent Hunt Budget.

The only chance of Jeremy Hunt’s Budget turning into a Tory general election win is if voters suffer from collective memory loss.

Charities and campaign groups pleaded with him to prioritise the cost-of-living crisis and starved public services but these pleas were ignored.His NI cut provides zero to a single parent earning £10,000 a year while a doctor on a £100,000 salary lands £754. Labour has enjoyed a 20 point lead for so long and nothing in the Hunt Budget looks like making a serious dent.The Conservatives promised the world with Brexit but voters know they have been made worse off.

Any positive reputation the Tories had with voters was shredded long before Hunt and Sunak showed up.
