Budget 2021 news: Rishi Sunak to BOOST National Minimum Wage by £1000 a year and WON’T increase fuel duty

CHANCELLOR Rishi Sunak will unveil his second budget of the year tomorrow, with economic plans that will take us through the winter.

One measure will be to increase the minimum wage to £9.50 an hour this week, giving a pay rise for millions of Brits in his budget.

The Chancellor is also set to unfreeze sector pay on teachers, civil servants and police wages.

It is also expected that he will ditch a 2.84p budget hike in fuel duty — a win for The Sun’s Keep It Down campaign.
