Jeremy Hunt gets locked out of Downing Street on crunch Budget day

Jeremy Hunt got locked out of Downing Street ahead of his crunch Budget announcement on Wednesday (6 March).

Footage showed the chancellor walking towards the infamous No.11 door, but he was left standing awkwardly in front of it.

Mr Hunt was eventually let in after giving a quick knock.

The chancellor’s new plan is under considerable scrutiny as he promised a 2p tax cut to national insurance in the hopes of boosting Conservative popularity, with experts questioning if Britain can even afford such a move.
