Ministers face backlash over messaging campaign calling time on home working

7. I thought of adding that BoE statement to this thread, but it was kinda late at night.

So the Tories' tame media get to tie themselves in knots again with yet another reverse ferret that, as you mentioned above, goes against some of their vested interests. I wonder whether/when their patience will run out?

The next step would be to pressure the government to extend the furlough and small business grant schemes into next year. Other European countries are offering extended support, and they're not at the gnarly, pointy end of a prospective no deal Brexit.

From our own experience as a struggling small firm, we're nowhere near seeing light at the end of the tunnel yet, and if we go under, which seems as likely at the moment as it has in about 30 years, we'll have to resort to claiming benefits anyway.
