In this episode, Paul & Kevin discuss the support measures that matter (again) following the introduction of Lockdown 2.0. This includes the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme extension through to March 2021, what's happened to the Job Retention Scheme bonus and, for that matter, the Job Support Scheme. They also discuss what business support is still out there, including the grants and loans available to all businesses (or just some businesses). And what about the self-employed? Are they still falling between the cracks? Finally, they discuss the workplace and what should you do about keeping the workplace open, including handling employees who are worried about getting into work or working from home. But we still want to hear from you. So tell us, what do you think? Are you happy with these changes? Are there a lot of questions still to be answered?

Following Rishi Sunak's unveiling of a new rescue deal for jobs and firms affected by the latest tiered COVID-restriction system, Paul and Kevin dissect the package to assess whether this a step in the right direction for UK workers & businesses.

They also discuss whether the Chancellor has listened to critics who say not enough is being done to support those affected, or whether it's too late in the day.

Fresh off the back of Chancellor Rishi Sunak's announcement, Kevin and Paul react to the new Job Support Scheme which will replace furlough after the 31st October. The scheme will support those in ''viable'' jobs - but what about the industries still at a standstill because of the pandemic?  They also give updates and commentary on the freeze on hospitality VAT, the extension to CBILS and the latest government guidance on working from home.
