Rishi Sunak made an appearance on Good Morning Britai n on Friday following his announcement of a new support package to ease the cost of living crisis. On Thursday, the Chancellor unveiled plans to give every household a £400 grant to help pay their soaring energy bills.
Sunak also announced that around eight million households on the lowest income bracket will receive a one-off cost of living payment of £650, with extra financial support also set to be given to pensioners and those with disabilities. This comes after Ofgem revealed the energy price cap will rise yet again with a further increase of another £800.
The Chancellor joined the ITV show live from Westminster after the £15bn emergency package was set out on Thursday and was grilled by hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard as they questioned the chancellor's motives.
