Britain suffering worst economic damage since Covid crisis began, analysis shows
- UK economy at the crossroads before lockdown ends
- Tony Danker: budget must focus on business investment
Rishi Sunak is preparing to deliver next week’s budget with the British economy at a pivotal moment before lockdown is relaxed, with businesses and workers still under severe strain, according to a Guardian analysis.
After the prime minister set out the government’s roadmap for dismantling Covid restrictions over four key stages this spring, the chancellor is expected to use his 15th major tax and spending announcement in less than a year on Wednesday to pledge further financial support to steer the economy towards recovery.
