Listen to the chancellor. The UK"s debt is “eye-wateringly” large, he says. There are “sharp” challenges ahead and inflation is expected to rise next year.

Marine engineer Christopher Harroway is already noticing a rise in the cost of living.
“You realise from daily activities like going to do your shopping, fuel prices, everything, that it"s a lot higher than it used to be,” he says. “A lot of people"s wages don"t match that as much now.

Christopher works at Dunston"s Ship Repairs in Hull, where he has been employed for 12 years.
