I’m now beyond furious. Weeks of meaningless negotiations. They told us we’d find out what support we’d get this Wednesday, then it’s Friday. Today they put out a press release saying we’ll get something but we’ll not be told what it is until next week. It’s complete contempt.

You kept thinking that Trump couldn’t really be as stupid, dangerous & corrupt as he seemed because all of the people cheering him were looking at the *same* man. Even some previously sensible people. Classic Emperor’s New Clothes scenario. I still can’t get my head around it.

An anti business statement under the guise of a pro business statement...
Very clear message from @TrussLiz to our members during the @britishchambers webinar: “Despite #CoronaCrisis, there will be no #extension period. We believe that extending will lead to more uncertainty. Businesses deserve clarity.”
