Rishi Sunak reveals bumper Budget to protect families this winter
RISHI Sunak is today unveiling his bumper Budget to protect hard-up families this winter while still balancing the books after Covid.
He is trying to straddle competing promises to balance the books after lockdown while also protecting households from a cost of living crisis as energy bills soar.To get the nation's coffers fighting fit for the "post-Covid" era, he plans to have Britain's £2.2TRILLION national debt falling by the next election.
Mr Sunak confirmed the minimum wage will rise 6 per cent from £8.91 to £9.50 for two million of Britain's lowest earners. But while they don't want to extend the £6bn uplift Mr Sunak was expected to soften the blow by cutting the taper from 63p to around 60p, meaning for every pound someone can keep an extra 3p.
