Trade unions, businesses and even some Tory MPs are all sounding the alarm about the Government's withdrawal of furlough support in October.
We need to extend and target wage support to those who need it most.

Right now, 4 in 10 workers can’t afford to self-isolate or pay the bills on statutory sick pay.
If we want Test and Trace to work, workers need a proper safety net.
Ministers must take urgent action and raise sick pay to £320 a week.
Boris Johnson’s £10 billion Test & Trace simply isn’t ‘world beating’.
The Serco contract is up for renewal later this month. We’ve always said public health, primary care & NHS labs should lead this work.
@RachelReevesMP and I have written to ministers demanding answers.
If a sitting MP can be profiled in this way, just think of the thousands of young black men/women who experience this reality daily.

The oldest trick pulled by rulers wanting to distract from economic turmoil at home is to redirect anger at migrants and refugees. When the furlough scheme unwinds and unemployment soars, this will only escalate.
Good morning twitter I see the racist trolls are going crazy with conspiracy theories. Someone who claims to be an ex police officer is challenging me to a debate. No need waste my time as I'm speaking to current police officers. Working together to make the system better.
I have to agree, the list of the latest peerages is truly sickening, surely we can do better than this? It’s mostly a tick list of Tory sycophants and Conservative lite supporters, if the House of Lords is to continue, let’s get some folk in there that represent real communities.
Labour must be the party of equality, and that includes dignity and respect for trans people. It is disappointing to see bad faith transphobic tropes put to use by a Labour MP today. We will be talking to Party leadership about this as soon as possible.
