Jeremy Hunt's bizarre blunder where he mistakenly called his Chinese wife 'Japanese'

As Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announces the budget today, many people will be left wondering how it impacts them in real terms.

Mr Hunt is set to address energy bills in today's budget by confirming the Energy Price Guarantee will be extended until June instead of April, keeping the average household bill at £2,500 for another three months. He's also due to announce that from July, more than four million pre-payment meter customers will no longer be charged more for their energy than direct debit households.

There's also big news to come in childcare, as the Chancellor will announce an additional £4 billion for free childcare for one-and-two-year-olds in England, on top of plans to give primary school children access to breakfast clubs and extra after-school provision.
