The UK economy is getting “on the right track”, claimed Rishi Sunak ahead of what could be his government’s final Budget before the general election.
The prime minister spoke as the chancellor prepared for Wednesday, when he is widely expected to announce tax cuts but has cautioned it will be a “prudent and responsible” Budget.
Downing Street denied that Mr Sunak thinks Jeremy Hunt “lacks imagination”.

During a site visit to a former Honda car factory in Swindon, Mr Sunak said that its transformation into a logistics hub by industrial property developer Panattoni was a “huge vote of confidence in the UK”.
“It shows that the work we’re doing to get the economy on the right track is paying off,” he said.
“Now, I’m determined, as prime minister, to make sure that the UK is the best place in the world to invest and grow a business like this,” he added, referring to an investment package announced by government to boost spending by firms working on cutting-edge technologies and manufacturing.
But experts have questioned how much help Mr Sunak and Mr Hunt will be able to give households and businesses at Wednesday’s Budget.
