Sadly slot more to come. The government did the right thing in furloughing. But it has to end and the easing back to the companies having to pay more for effectively laid off staff would always result in job losses.

Good news, as just stated by Robert Preston is that the UK debt v GDP is lower than the G7 countries, so the government will still be able to borrow our way out of this.

Plus, Imperial College are confident that they have found the vaccine with incredibly quick production...so fingers crossed.
