Alistair Darling has said the UK will have to borrow a record £175bn as he admitted the economy faces its worst year since the Second World War.

The chancellor tore up a key New Labour election pledge by unveiling a new 50p tax rate for earnings over £150,000.

He also cut future spending plans in a Budget which added 2p on fuel, 1p on a pint of beer and 7p on cigarettes.

The package would steer the UK through to recovery, he said. The Tories said the economy was in an "utter mess".

Leader David Cameron said not enough had been done to get spending under control and "Britain simply cannot afford another five years of Labour".
