The Tories are not working...

Yes, that is the mechanics of how it is applied. I would still argue the intent is mostly aimed at helping workers ensure they could maintain their lifestyles rather than to prevent Business from having to pay redundancy, which is not a huge amount under statutory UK law.

It's still the business that decided to put someone on furlough. An individual couldn't make that choice. Certainly I agree that it was to protect the middle classes from the reality of mass unemployment and the very low UC payments.

One could make the argument that aspects of politics in Northern Ireland is a big experiment in the employment of convicts/terrorists etc.

For comedy to work it has to be plausible.

TBF Raab has other important issues on his mind. For instance it isn’t yet settled whether it will him or Liz Truss who uses the granny flat at Chevening. Obviously Raab should have the main residence since Truss is a woman.

Another self interested Conservative finally given his marching orders for cheating his tax.
I doubt there will be a bye election for this disgraced ex Chancellor.
The Conservatives, contributing to a failing state.

Same old same old. 3rd term. No party ever has a fourth term. Mistakes are made. Sleaze always seems to creep in. Time for a change. I just hope land owners, and owners of large farm houses aren't taxed to death when the envy party comes to power. " Farming has always done better under Labour ". Not in my lifetime it hasn't. We shall see.
