Sunak to announce new job protection planshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54264689
Mr Sunak has been considering different forms of wage subsidy and will announce more financial help. He is understood to be looking at options including a salary top-up scheme, similar to those already operating in France and Germany.
At the same time, the Treasury said there would be no Budget this autumn. The PM said Mr Sunak was working on "creative and imaginative" solutions.

Forget furlough - that was / is a terrible if well intentioned mistake. Mass layoffs with means tested Benefits was the way to have gone and should've taking place now

There were a lot of 'none jobs' out there all those coffee shop chains dozens on each high street that just diluted the business and contribute to obesity.Sorry some have lost their jobs but people made a choice to work there and we have to grit our teeth and not moan about the choices we have made in life.

At the age of 34 and having worked extremely hard to achieve his current position, he has no idea if his job, or even his career, will exist after covid (if there is an "after" covid!). What a horrible situation to be in....................... I'm hoping today's announcement will be generous!
