Over the next few weeks I'm speaking to industry leaders and experts to hear how they've reacted to the pandemic.
It starts tomorrow with @GordonRamsay who sat down with me to talk about the challenges facing hospitality and how he launched a TV show in lockdown. #PlanForJobs

Exciting project which would create around 4,000 jobs in the factory alone and thousands more in the supply chain. #PlanForJobs twitter.com/andy4wm/status…

There's no denying the next few weeks are going to be difficult.
But the end is in sight.
That’s why we’ve redoubled our efforts to protect businesses, jobs and incomes. #PlanForJobs gov.uk/government/pub…

The new lockdown grants will help businesses to get through the months ahead.
Crucially, they’ll also help sustain jobs, so workers can be ready to return when they are able to reopen. #PlanForJobs gov.uk/government/new…

We are extending furlough until the end of April 2021.

Last Friday I visited businesses in Glasgow and the Isle of Bute to see how our #PlanForJobs is protecting, supporting and creating jobs across the whole of the UK 🇬🇧 👇
37
Making the most of @Pret's price cut in response to the VAT reduction that takes effect today for the tourism and hospitality sectors.
As part of our #PlanForJobs this temporary cut will help over 150,000 businesses protect the jobs of 2.4 million people.
38
Our #PlanForJobs tripled the scale of traineeships and introduced incentives for employers to take on apprentices.
@WorcesterBosch CEO Carl Arntzen showed me around their Training Academy this morning where I hope many more people can learn new skills and launch their careers.
39
To support restaurants and the people who work in them we’re saying ‘Eat Out to Help Out’.
So for the month of August we will give you a 50% reduction, up to £10 per head, on sit-down meals and non-alcoholic drinks Monday-Wednesday. #PlanForJobs
40
We're reducing VAT to 5% for goods and services supplied by the tourism and hospitality sectors.
This is a £4bn catalyst benefiting over 150,000 businesses, and consumers everywhere - all helping to protect 2.4 million jobs. #PlanForJobs

1/ I have decided today to cut stamp duty.
Right now, there is no stamp duty on transactions below £125,000 (or £300,000 for first-time buyers). I am increasing the threshold to £500,000. #PlanForJobs
42
1/ We’re funding £2bn of Green Home Grants helping to unlock work for thousands of plumbers, builders and tradespeople.
Homeowners will receive vouchers to pay for at least two-thirds of green improvements such as loft, wall and floor insulation. #PlanForJobs

We are doubling the number of work coaches at a cost of nearly £900m this year.
Work coaches are the first point of contact for someone who loses their jobs and comes for help. They provide invaluable personalised support to help people work. #PlanForJobs
44
For the next six months we’ll pay businesses to hire young apprentices, with a payment of £2,000.
We’re also introducing a brand-new bonus to hire apprentices aged 25 and over, with a payment of £1,500. #PlanForJobs
45
Sector-Based Work Academies provide training, work placements, and a guaranteed job interview in high-demand sectors.
The evidence shows they work, so we’ll expand them – tripling the number of places. #PlanForJobs
46
The evidence says careers advice works, so we’ll fund it, with an additional £32m to recruit career advisers and provide bespoke advice and careers guidance for over a quarter of a million more people. #PlanForJobs
47
1/ Traineeships are a proven scheme to get young people ready for work. We know they work, so for the first time ever we’ll pay employers £1,000 to take on trainees, with triple the number of places. #PlanForJobs
48
1/ We’re launching a new programme to give hundreds of thousands of young people the best possible chance of getting on and getting a job.
I’m making available an initial £2 billion and there will be no cap on the number of places available. #PlanForJobs

We want to reward employers who successfully bring staff back from furlough.
If you bring back someone who was furloughed - and continuously employ them through to January we'll pay you a Job Retention Bonus of £1,000 per person. #PlanForJobs
