JEREMY Hunt vowed tax cuts are the Government's "absolute priority" in a rallying cry to boost Tory poll hopes.
The Chancellor said ministers are focused on bringing down the burden for millions as the economy continues to recover.
His upbeat message comes as Rishi Sunak faces one of the most difficult weeks of his premiership, with party rebels plotting to oust him after anticipated poor results in local elections on Thursday.
The Prime Minister has announced a series of policies on benefits, migrant flights to Rwanda and defence spending in a bid to shore up his position.
But Mr Hunt struck an optimistic tone as he signalled to the Daily Express better days lay ahead.
He also warned that Labour could not be trusted with the economy and said that Sir Keir Starmer's party was "forced" to back pensioners.
As the latest 2p cut in National Insurance appeared on millions of workers' payslips today, Mr Hunt suggested more could be on the way this year. He added: "It's absolutely our priority to carry on bringing down the tax burden. And we can do that because we have taken very difficult decisions to get the economy back on track.
"When I became Chancellor 18 months ago, we had inflation at more than 11%.
