Everyone in the UK will need to pay “a bit more tax” as the country seeks to balance its books, Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt has said.

Hunt, who is set to deliver his autumn budget on Nov. 17, has declared he will be playing Scrooge as he sets out his vision to restore financial “stability” and deliver “certainty” to families and businesses.
