    From this week he’ll be paying half of our food bill when we eat out.

    He’s been one of the big positives in the whole C-19 Chinese flu debacle.

    The fact the press haven’t tried to savage him says a lot.

    Deffo gonna be a PM one day.

    love the bloke.

    Think the whole job protection via furlough and now economic stimulus has been done really well. Will be interesting to see what happens as the furlough scheme is phased out. I suspect that a lot of companies have used it to put off the inevitable and unemployment will soar towards the year end.

    Only if the restaurant, pub etc have registered for the scheme.
    Shame on you blaming those nice Chinese people.
    Edit. And it's only Monday - Wednesday.

    Tried to log in to Morrison home delivery a few weeks ago and there was a little chap walking while you waited - looks like he has been made redundant now :)

    Top bloke (Northerner) - does not desk thump or get flustered - I am not a Tory but I think he has done a great job and would make a great (young) PM

    Hes from Southampton?! Aside from that, you're right. He will make a great PM. Starmer would waste Johnson in a debate/election but I reckon Sunak beats Starmer.

    Well I hope that Johnson is the last Tory PM I see in my lifetime, so with any luck Sunak will never be PM.

    One day at a time, but, if I see out another 5 years, hopefully the Tories will be out on their arses.

    People praising him yet it took a footballer to get free school breaks for children during the 6 weeks holiday but all long as you get a cheap meal everything is all A OK. Jeez.

    We have millions in this country below the poverty line yet let's give those who can afford to eat out more free money.

    **** off

    Think I would have been annoyed if ‘we’ were subsidising you to play golf every day. :emoticon-0100-smile

    I get your point but I think the aim was to stimulate the economy and help an industry that employed thousands of people and was in grave risk of collapse, rather than give people a free meal. It is certainly a better scheme than just giving a grant to the restaurant.

    i agree with you though that in a society/country like the UK it's a disgrace that anybody goes hungry or homeless.
