Noted.

I'm writing a book though so wanna go somewhere nice to bash out some words.

Might end up more like a gulag than holiday camp!

Dom can you try to answer this one without just pulling a date out of thin air.

Lots of people have fell through the cracks because they were going to change jobs.

But theoretically if you were, why can't it be changed?

That's not an answer. You can actually think about things rather than just being a nodding dog.

The scheme is massively flawed and while it is welcome they have backtracked on tapering the payments they have missed a massive chance to fix the glaring flaws.

Would help if you spelt it correctly

Didn’t you misspell of yesterday?

What are your thoughts on the public opinion that Johnson has handled this appallingly, and has a lower rating than Starmer?

Charles according to you Sir Keith Starter is the labour leader

Just saw a stat if you add furloughed and public sector workers together you’ve now got 49% of all employees being paid by the state!

can you show me a Yougov poll that evidences this

Good to see they've u-turned on the drop to 60% The pressure to end furlough should be made on employers who can afford to do so and are using the scheme as a means of saving themselves money rather than the workers who have been told to stay at home who will be worried if they will even have a job to go back to.

Really good announcement if I’m reading it correctly. Still 80% of wages paid and no longer requiring staff to not be working? Is that right? My only question is if people are working, wouldn’t they be getting full pay? Little confused.

That doesn't seem right. Would leave the scheme massively open to abuse. Surely if someone is working their employer pays them not the government?

Interesting watching posters who shouted about how awful socialism was during the election now praising the government for the furlough scheme.

 

[Sick Boy]

Johnson’s approval drops 17 points in a day! Now below Starmer.

That can’t be right, opinion on this thread in no way reflects the real world.

Indeed like labour in the 70’s

Yeah that confused me as well, hence me asking if I’ve read it right. Is it just wages support?

 

[chiefdave]

This is absolutely disgusting. Hope they find the person responsible.

Ah your classic response when someone publishes a link that proves your nonsense wrong.

'doesn't count if it's in that publication! Here's the excellent Dan Hodges instead'

lol- I get that he winds you up, but you look a bit overly desperate to get his attention now tbh

It doesn’t and of course you know full well disappointed is your mantra politically

YouGov are really bad pollsters as well.

I think I'll stick to the UK for now though even in times of crisis and uncertainty their prices are still an absolute piss take.

What book you writing? Fiction, non fiction?

It's fiction but I'm struggling a bit with it. Loads of great ideas but lack of plan. I'll probably start a separate thread on it.

YouGov don’t do daily opinion polls, but on their live ratings tracker Johnson currently sits at -13 with 99 heard of him, Starmer at -4 with 44 heard of. So he’s behind there too.

you done any sort of creative writing before?

Nope. At its height the public sector employed just over 7m people in 1979, half a million fewer than are currently claiming furlough alone.
