£1.5 billion? Sorry, that should be £15 billion! This is on top of what Sunak claims is £22 billion already spent on measures announced in the Spring. All this obviously comes at a cost though so anything outside of any monies garnered from windfall taxes on energy companies will have to be borrowed and added to the national debt which then feeds back into inflation costs. Not ideal but guess he didn't have many other options and he was never likely to increase taxes on the super rich was he.
