The morning after the Chancellor laid out his plans for continued pandemic support and how to pay for it in the years to come, Christopher Hope is joined for a Budget special by the Telegraph's Deputy Political Editor Lucy Fisher and economics fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Julian Jessop, to discuss the ins and outs.
