Sir Keir Starmer accuses PM of being insensitive to masses of future job losses
SIR KEIR STARMER accused Boris Johnson of being “tin-eared” over future job losses today, after the Prime Minister failed to pledge sufficient support when the Covid-19 furlough scheme ends next month.
During Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader said that he supported fines, which came into force yesterday, on households mixing indoors in the north-east.
But he warned that masses of jobs were at risk due to the 10pm curfew imposed earlier this month for hospitality venues in England, with 10,000 jobs at stake in Newcastle alone.
