The Budget makes the lead for most of Thursday’s newspapers. The Daily Telegraph says Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a five-year personal tax “raid” that will bring in more than £21bn, as the bill for the government’s pandemic spending was “finally laid bare”. The chancellor froze thresholds for income tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and the pensions lifetime allowance, meaning millions of people will pay more to the Treasury.
