Ed Davey's party is using 'stealth' income tax increases and eye-watering changes to mortgage rates during his time as Chancellor in a new attack advert.
Jeremy Hunt is facing a concerted attempt to use his failure to cut taxes against him in his own affluent backyard at the next election, MailOnline can reveal.
It comes as he also faces pressure from Tories to cut taxes and boost sluggish growth ahead of an election expected to be very difficult for the Tories even in their heartlands. Mr Hunt's South West Surrey seat, which he has held since 2005, is being split in two, and he is standing in the new Godalming and Ash constituency.
Last month it was revealed more than 40 Tory seats, including those held by senior serving and former ministers, are at risk from a voter backlash against stealth tax rises at the next election. At its highest in 2015 he had a majority of more than 28,000. But it also voted 59%-41% in favour of Remain in 2016 - with Mr Hunt a high-profile supporter of staying in the EU at the time.
Mr Hunt has been chancellor since September last year, when he was drafted in as an emergency unity figure after she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng amid the economic chaos of her 49 days in power.
