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
103
To give people across the UK certainty over the winter, I can announce today that the furlough scheme will not be extended for one month – it will be extended until the end of March.
Employees will receive 80% of their usual salary for hours not worked, up to £2,500 a month.

One of the best things about being Chancellor is working in some of Britain’s most historic buildings.
This week I went to the balcony where Churchill made his victory speech 75 years ago today. It reminded me that when Britain comes together we can overcome anything. #VEDay

Good to update President @ZelenskyyUa this afternoon on the defensive equipment we are providing to Ukraine.
I’m focused on ensuring this reaches the front line as quickly as possible.
But the greatest weapon in Ukraine’s arsenal is international unity. We will keep it up.
106
New Year is a time for optimism, but I know there’s also a lot of apprehension.
I am working night and day to change that, and quickly.
In a speech tomorrow I will set out my priorities for the year ahead.

Following today’s announcement, new guidance for employees can be found here: gov.uk/government/pub… #COVID19

Great call with Australian PM @AlboMP this morning.
Geography is no barrier to the deep ties of friendship our countries share, as we work together to strengthen our common security, boost trade and support Ukraine.
Looking forward to meeting Anthony at the G20 next month.
109
On behalf of the UK, I would like to congratulate @netanyahu on his victory in the Israeli elections.
Across areas like trade, security and technology there is a huge amount our countries do together and I look forward to working with the returning Prime Minister.

1/ I’m proud of what we’ve done so far, but I know that many self-employed people are deeply anxious about the support available for them.
So to support those who work for themselves, today I am announcing a new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme.

Whatever it takes. #COVID19

We promised support would be available by the end of April – today, we deliver our promise.

I have just landed in Bali to join other leaders at the #G20.
We need to get on with the job that the G20 was created to do, stewarding the global economy through crisis and putting it back on the path to growth.
Together we must take urgent action.

Growing up in a family business, I know the transformative impact a small business can have on a local community.

I’m here in Germany for this year’s @MunSecConf, joining world leaders like @VP Harris & @Bundeskanzler to discuss security challenges – particularly Putin’s horrific war in Ukraine.
I have urged delegates to double down on their military & political support for Ukraine.
123
Great to pop down to @wagamama_uk after the statement today.
They’ve already bought more than 2,000 staff back from furlough and will be one of the many restaurants to benefit from the VAT cut and ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ vouchers.
124
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

Today I hosted NATO Secretary General @jensstoltenberg in Downing Street.
We will never back down when it comes to supporting the Ukrainian people in the face of Putin’s brutality.
