Listening to the Tory party and its supporters, you would think Sunak paid for the furlough scheme out of his own pocket! What on earth was the alternative? Mass unemployment, mass benefit claims, mass house repossessions, rents not being paid, businesses crashing, bankruptcies, riots? The Tories did what any government would do, would have to do and I am sick to death of them being praised for doing so. Yes, it was a unique situation, but I assume that any government, irrespective of their political leanings, would do the same, in the UK anyway. Now we are getting the 'housekeeping' statements using furlough as a reason for austerity.
