Mr Sunak outlined a raft of key measures, including retaining the furlough job support scheme until the end of September and maintaining a £20 uplift in Universal Credit payments for a further six months.

There were also big announcements on taxes, home buying and grants for businesses that have been struggling through the pandemic.
