A day with Rishi Sunak: How does the Chancellor's 'plan for jobs' hold up a year on?

Lucy Fisher, The Telegraph's Deputy Political Editor, joined Rishi Sunak as he toured four businesses in Wolverhampton one year on from launching his 'Plan for Jobs'.

First up the Chancellor visited a joist manufacturer, then it was on to an art gallery, followed by a gym, and finally a car mechanic training centre.

"The plan is working, it's making a difference," the Chancellor told her, after meeting with business owners, workers and apprentices.

"People can look forward to a brighter future, the economy is moving up a gear. The engine's roaring and we're growing."

He rallied Britons to return to the office as soon as 'work from home' guidance lifts, highlighting the benefits of in-person work for those at the start of their career.

"For young people especially, that ability to be in your office, be in your workplace, learn from others more directly, is something that's really important and I look forward to us slowly getting back to that."

The Chancellor was quizzed about other pressing concerns too, such as the hospitality industry's concern about the Government's self-isolation rules.

"I understand people's frustrations with it and I totally get that," Mr Sunak said. "What I'd say to people is that we're pursuing what I think is a balanced and cautious approach.

"That's appropriate and be patient.

"The package that's being delivered when we go to Step Four is a significant positive for the industry."

He steered the British economy well,
If one looks around the world many countries economic situation is in dire condition except china, unemployment, inflation is soaring
He is competent and Rich if some of the media outlets can't digest that then that is their problem, not common people's
UK's Media outlet has a problem,
Media spreading this hatred towards him will eventually lead to the loss of common people
Even if he loses influence in the public sphere he has great prospects in the private sector because he is competent
Take a pragmatic view rather than to influence by these media outlets, his policies helped retain the uk as the top attractive country
No one in history has actually deployed the military to the economic cause of the country that says a lot about the economy of uk
EU is in decline as one can see from the fresh US Australia Frace row and because of that
Brexit is justified. Old, decrepit EU and their policies only have now one country to rely on that is Germany.
And in near the future, we will also have Germany's exit from the EU.
And as for his in law's fortune, they have earned it not like a queen who inherited it
