Rishi Sunak was today accused of being 'too optimistic' and may need to find more cash to tackle Covid-19 despite spending 'truly astonishing' amounts trying to keep the British economy afloat. The Chancellor announced yesterday that borrowing would hit almost £400 billion this year, with government spending topping £1 trillion for the first time. In its official forecasts yesterday, the Office for Budget Responsibility warned that the Chancellor would need tax rises or spending cuts of at least £21billion and possibly as much as £46billion a year by the next election to stop debt running out of control.  But some have some questioned whether the Chancellor was being too optimistic - because he hasn't allocated any spending for tackling Covid-19 after the end of 2021, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said. Others questioned why he failed to mention Brexit at all. IFS director Paul Johnson said: ‘Rishi Sunak has been spending truly astonishing amounts of money t

Public sector pay will be frozen next year – but nurses, doctors and the lowest-paid will still get a rise, Rishi Sunak said yesterday. The Chancellor said he could not justify a 'significant, across-the-board' hike for the public sector given the difficulties faced by private firms. Many businesses, particularly in retail and hospitality, have been devastated by the virus and lockdowns – while public sector workers have been largely protected from job losses and pay cuts.
