How is that going to be policed .

Election payback or other?

Just kicking the can down the road. RishiSunak should make it a law that any company that makes redundant a staff member who was on furlough will be fined heftily or prosecuted. Big businesses should not take with one hand, and should absorb costs out of shareholder profits.

Its terrifying thinking about what the economy is going to look like in the winter. My whole industry is still closed and wont open til next year and the gov are turning off the life support in October...

Even now the lefty idiots aren't happy. Just shows with their agendas and snowflake mentality you'll never please them.

Weird that all these socialist policies coming into play when the country is at its lowest.
