Please note: The quality of this video is reduced in comparison to our usual podcasts, as speed is of the essence in spreading the message regarding this highly time-sensitive topic!

Edit: Since today's daily briefing by the Prime Minister and his advisers at Downing Street, I understand the chancellor will have more to add tomorrow regarding a so-called 'package for workers' - we will provide an update as soon as we are able!
