Jeremy Corbyn has labelled Rishi Sunak's fiscally extravagant budget "an admission of failure", saying the UK was in a far worse position to cope with the economic hit of coronavirus because of a decade of austerity.

While saying the new chancellor's plans to assist individuals and companies with the outbreak of the virus was "obviously welcome", Corbyn told the Commons more detail was needed on areas such as sick pay for contract workers, and help for those on universal credit.
