I guess any stings in the tale will come later in the year, when Rishi & Co hope those with jobs will be feeling better, well fed Mon-Wed from cheap nights out, tanned from corridor holidays and infection-spike-free. Those who might not be feeling better are the employers and businesses who didn’t furlough anyone or take any loans because they didn’t need or want to. 9m were furloughed, which means over 20m were not. They won’t be getting a £1,000 bonus in Jan., nor have they had any big-ups from Boris. A thank you can go a long way. If you want their votes next time around.
