I'm not an ex-cabinet minister but I can't see enough MPs voting through the 45% tax rate removal nor the reduction in Corporation Tax. The reduction in the basic tax rate to 19% and the reversal of the NI hike are more likely. Not sure about the reduction in stamp duty.
The supply side measures to open up the labour market to more foreign workers won't prove popular with the Brexity wing of the party and those in red wall seats but do have economic logic if you're increasing spending.
