Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement will see the Scot Gov's budget 'rise in real terms'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Mr Hunt said his overall plans meant "we are going to grow public spending, but we're going to grow it slower than the economy".
51% : A Nat document said public spending rises "should be limited to sufficiently less than GDP growth" for up to a decade.
49% : On income tax, the OBR warned the burden would hit its "highest level since the end of the Second World War" by 2024-25.
45% : Of the savings, £30billion has been made from public spending cuts with Whitehall departments set to see their budgets growing at a much slower rate.
44% : But sound money has to come first because inflation eats away at the pound in people's pockets even more insidiously than taxes."Households and public services will be hit in the next five years, but with the squeeze set to be hardest after 2024.
40% : And amid a series of dire economic forecasts, he imposed a series of so-called stealth taxes including more low-paid workers being dragged into paying National Insurance.
39% : This means more people will be forced to pay tax on their incomes - with the SNP Government not set to unveil how it will alter the system in Scotland until December 15.
