Furlough will be extended until the end of September, the chancellor will announce, as he unveils more support for workers and the self-employed

As part of the plan to extend furlough, Mr Sunak will announce that employers must contribute too: 10% in July and 20% in August, as businesses are allowed to reopen and begin to claw back some of their lost earnings.

"There's now light at the end of the tunnel with a roadmap for reopening, so it's only right that we continue to help business and individuals through the challenging months ahead - and beyond." "Announcing it the night before shows the focus is on Rishi Sunak getting his moment in the sun rather than protecting jobs and livelihoods."Commenting on the decision to extend the scheme, Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality said:"Extending the full furlough support for businesses up to and beyond the full reopening date for hospitality is a very positive move.

Why if we are supposed to be out of lockdown in June?

Tax on fags and booze should be doubled for a start! 👍

It must be changed so they have to seek other work same as JSA. Because that's why they are paying it. It's the new dole money. The jobs have gone.

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

Without a doubt, the way some people are neglecting the rules, and with new variants showing up, the UK will continue to have sporadic lockdowns throughout 2021!

Crazy world 🌎

Really looks like we will be back to normal by June then 🙄🙄

Some of these people on furlough will lose their jobs when the scheme finishes. Unless I’m mistaken the scheme is all about saving jobs! So all this is doing is delaying this.

You can’t keep staff if businesses collapse.. Furlong as long as you want but without the economy opening up and businesses generating revenue there is no point furlonging staff. Crazy economic policy ..

That’s a negative sign as it means lockdowns will continue as new variants are discovered.. So who is paying for this?

Should only be extended for the firms that cannot open like events and tourism and stopped for everyone else too many company's are using it when they don't need it

SO THAT MEANS LOCKDOWN TILL SEPTEMBER

So Furlough will drag on until September yet Boris said everyone will be at work and everything will open and be back to normal 21st June? I guess we will have robots running the businesses between June-September.

September new spike new variant new lockdown 4 furlough extended to April 2022. Never ending story.

Terrified of ending furlough as millions set to be made unemployed. Causing unprecedented pressure on DHSS. New slogan 'Save our DHSS' clap for dole dishers on Thurs 8pm! Meanwhile Sandra from Blackpool claiming furlough from Hairdressers while working at Morrisons Checkout!🙄

... Anything for the ones keeping it all together? 🙄

SkyNews: PANDEMIC is now entering a new phase with an air of optimism with a timetable of change to normality! Chancellor brings confidence to the table with a sensible approach to the economic climate we are now in. Budget will aid us out of it! 🇬🇧

Hiền lành, hơi nhút nhát, hướng nội và ít nói. Nhưng chỉ đúng với những lần đầu tiên thôi T.T Quen thân rồi biết kkkkkkkk.

And the self employed are denied another months money. 3 months cash at 80% to cover a 4 month period. A same thing last year.

June 21st sounding like a pipe dream.

Translation: Lockdown to continue until September.

And the UC Boost?

FURLOUGH = UNEMPLOYED AND SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS.

Why extended it until September..... when boris says this will end in june 21st 😆

It still wont be good enough for some...thank you 🇬🇧

Lockdown wil carry on then

95% only bad news(

So, let’s get this straight. You can still get paid for a few months off. The hardest thing will be wanting to go back to work.

And so, the complete destruction of the UK economy is assured.

Need more money. Pornhub premium isn’t cheap Rishi!

Good news.
