BBC News Published media captionThe chancellor sets out a three-part plan to “protect the jobs and livelihoods of the British people”. Chancellor Rishi Sunak has unveiled more support for workers and businesses struggling with lockdown in his first Budget since the pandemic was declared. The furlough scheme will be extended to September - along with higher universal credit payments. It will take the UK's tax burden to its highest level since the 1960s, said the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the Budget measures to salvage the UK's Covid-ravaged economy were "nowhere near ambitious enough".
