Budget 2021: How much debt is too much debt? The question keeping Rishi Sunak awake at night
Rishi Sunak has borrowed £270 billion this financial year to pay for the Covid pandemic - more than enough, you would imagine, to keep the Chancellor awake at night.
As the Budget approaches, he will be worrying whether the size of the UK's debt burden means we are storing up problems for the future, says The Telegraph’s financial columnist Ben Wright.
In the video above, he explains how you can tell when a country has borrowed beyond its means and asks if the worry for the Chancellor is actually more around politics than economics.
Watch the video above for Ben Wright's full analysis.

Mount Sinabung volcano in Indonesia erupts, sending hot ash into sky
Indonesia's Mount Sinabung erupted on Tuesday morning, spewing a massive column of smoke and ash up to 5,000 metres into the sky.
The volcano on Sumatra island started blasting debris early in the morning, according to a local geological agency, which recorded 13 bursts.
Authorities have instructed residents to avoid a five-kilometre radius around the crater, a zone that has been left unoccupied for years as volcanic activity increased.
No evacuation orders have been issued, and there has been no reported flight disruption.

Queen shares joke as she unveils first statue virtually
The Queen has remotely unveiled a statue of herself for the first time, joking how those that see it might be alarmed to think she has paid a surprise visit.
Speaking to Australia from thousands of miles away at Windsor Castle, the monarch held a video call with the Governor of South Australia Hieu Van Le, and Steven Marshall, Premier of South Australia.
The monarch appeared in good spirits despite the news that her consort Prince Philip was taken by ambulance from the private King Edward VII’s Hospital to St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London.

Brian Moore's Full Contact Rugby: Ill discipline & lack of variety cost England more than refereeing
Subscribe to Brian Moore's Full Contact podcast for free: https://www.playpodca.st/fullcontact??
We've just two rounds left to go in the 2021 Six Nations and Wales are in pole position to win a shock Grand Slam after beating England in an eventful game in Cardiff.
Joining Brian to reflect on Englands defeat and more is the former London Irish and England wing Topsy Ojo.
They start in Cardiff where England suffered their second defeat of the competition in controversial circumstances as the hosts were awarded two very dubious tries.
Despite the misfortune both Brian and Topsy feel Wales deserved to win and that the lack of discipline in particular was the main reason for Englands downfall. There's also a debate surrounding the lack of variety and new faces in the squad.
As for the two tries, former international referee (and Wales fan) Nigel Owens joins the show to describe why both of them should have been disallowed.
France could have joined Wales on three wins from three games but their game against Scotland was called off after a Covid outbreak. It has since transpired that the French squad left their bubble in Rome to get Waffles and it's led to calls for Scotland to be awarded a 28-0 win.
And Topsy becomes the latest former pro to call on a play off between Georgia and Italy after the Italians were thumped by Ireland, their 30th defeat in a row in the competition.

'Fireball' meteor spotted across England thanks to clear skies
Stargazers across the UK could see a "fireball" meteor on Sunday night thanks to clear skies.
It apeared just before 10pm and caused a sonic boom across southern England.
Every year our skies are illuminated by repeat meteor showers, from Geminids and Draconids to Perseids and Lyrids. If the weather conditions are favourable, and the Moon isn't too bright, it is possible to see spectacular shooting stars.

'They aren't going to silence us': Donald Trump supporters flock to Orlando for his CPAC speech
Donald Trump has made his first big speech since leaving the White House and his supporters told The Telegraph that he retained a grip on the Republican Party.
Several of those who travelled to Orlando said they hoped Mr Trump would stand again in 2024 and repeated his false claims that he had won the 2020 presidential election.
While he stopped short of pledging to run for president again, his heavily anticipated address to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the annual jamboree for grassroots conservatives, confirmed Mr Trump's intention to remain a dominant force within US politics.

Budget 2021: Why Rishi Sunak has lots to lose if he doesn't get it right | Lucy Fisher analysis
Rishi Sunak's Budget on March 3 will be a "career-defining" moment for the Chancellor, according to The Telegraph's Deputy Political Editor Lucy Fisher.
He has spent billions of pounds of public money to keep businesses and families afloat across three separate lockdowns.
But as the vaccine rollout starts to halt the spread of coronavirus and the country slowly creeps towards normality, Mr Sunak is now facing some very difficult choices, she adds.
For the Budget, he has been warned not to raise taxes but, as a Conservative chancellor, also faces pressure to balance the books and restore control over the Government's spending.
In the video above, Lucy Fisher looks into why these decisions are so important for Mr Sunak's career, particularly if he's looking ahead to the 2024 General Election.
