Heartsmad1874 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Speaking to a few mates at my old work, one of them still furloughed, another in a different department is doing 2 weeks working then 2 weeks back on furlough. Both telling me the company will be asking for people to take voluntary redundancy but they think it will be compulsory soon anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Jambo Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Anyone who says these daily briefs are not political should watch the last ten minutes. 1- When talking about the recent changes to the help for business yesterday she says almost as an afterthought and without any detail that and I quote ‘which of course we think should go further’. 2- She then threatens Scottish businesses with a withdrawal of funding at a later date due to Scotland’s inability to borrow money. Which is a clear message they are pushing about how not being independent is holding back Scotland’s ability to deal with pandemic. I don’t want to get into the validity of either claim but let’s not have any more claims these briefs aren’t political. It’s as clear as clear can be.
