Depressing reading. 200,000 jobs lost already in one industry and many more to come if @10DowningStreet doesn’t act soon to reopen business #events which can be safely run. All our cities are impacted financially by the loss of them. @BBCBreakfast @BBCBusiness @SkyNews

[Manchester Confidential @mcrconfidential]

Vital in the fight against COVID-19, events centres like @mcr_central are losing their own struggle to survive

@RishiSunak We take it from Parliamentary coverage, large exhibition/conference venues (those which host gatherings of a scale suspended since March 20) are eligible for the JSS closed scheme. Please confirm yes. #AskRishi

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@RishiSunak answering questions on Thursday regarding the new job support schemes. A chance to add your voice @shaunhinds @thenec @olympia_london @mcr_central @ExCeLLondon @YEventCentre @ACCLiverpool for clarity on below question whilst we are all closed with no reopen date.

@JudyMurray Can we put them forward instead so it will be over sooner?🤦🏽‍♀️

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@SepsisUK What a shambles!

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@ZacGoldsmith perhaps you could help raise this issue? Another disaster of this pandemic, feels like we have gone right back to a disposable culture after so much hard work all together in the last few years to improve our habits.

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Should disposable facemasks be banned?

They've been littering our streets and now they've even been seen washed up on a beach. One conservation group estimates that ten million masks a month could end up in the environment. So should we be sticking to re-usable ones instead?

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@JeremyVineOn5 Yes, they should be banned apart from in a medical setting where they are disposed of correctly.

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

And #events industry is still stuck in limbo. Venues, hotels, performers, production crew & entire supply chain unable to work and unsure what or if they qualify for support. Nov is a week away & still waiting for details of JSS, headlines alone don’t pay wages! @RishiSunak

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

What’s more there are huge grey areas in Tier 3 (and in all Tiers) with businesses closed in all but name.

What’s about restaurants in Tier 3? Not formally closed but ...

Or hotels and visitor economy in Tier 3 with travel advised against? Not formally closed but ...

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@nickwhitcombe1 @angelaeagle 👏 well done

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@BenGoldsmith Yes.. it’s dreadful. That and all the disposable masks

[(P)a(R?)ty Fullard @MartyFullardUAE]

@mrdanwalker @OliverDowden Why is the UK the only European country not currently allowing exhibitions, trade shows and conferences to run, when we already have the DCMS-approved safety guidance ready to go?

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@mrdanwalker super quick question, yes or no answer 👍🏼 thanks for your help would be appreciated.

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@mrdanwalker @OliverDowden Does he look after #business events & exhibitions? Unclear if it’s him or @AlokSharma_RDG & it would be good to actually know as it seems the sector is a hot potato bouncing around with no one taking responsibility! Economic value £32 billion annually & 600k + jobs at stake

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@JeremyVineOn5 So far no evidence they are helping? I don’t want to have to wear a mask to go outside for a run.. that seems like total nonsense?!

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

Thanks to @thetimes for this coverage. We need more media coverage from the likes of @SkyNews @KayBurley @BBCBusiness please. It’s not just pubs and student being devastated by the handling of Covid. @nadhimzahawi @AlokSharma_RDG @lucyallan @RishiSunak #WeMakeEvents

‘There’s been no work since March’

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

@joepike Agree with this point. It’s very hard to support and trust the government regulations if they don’t effectively support financially. Without financial support it’s just a case of swapping one risk for another. Both equally dreadful.

[Rosalind Godfrey @yonnin]

This seems helpful and genuine. Let’s hope this stops some of the terrible job losses we are seeing at the moment & prevents more business from being thrown on the Covid scrap pile. #WeMakeEvents I hope this helps our sector until we can reopen🙏🏼

[Lucy Allan @lucyallan]

Some excellent measures here from the Chancellor to support businesses required to close. 👇
