@CLASSthinktank16mUnknown#PMQs begins with a straight question - what will the PM do to stop Boohoo paying workers £3.50 per hour? Boris Johnson: It's up to the Labour mayor of Leicester.
Damn he got us. He got us.

There must be several parts of the country now where it's pretty safe to go into a restaurant by this stage but that is transparently not true of the whole country, telling people in Bradford to go out and spend money in restaurants is completely different to doing it in Cornwall, or even in London.

It's also going to be less predictable when we hit school holidays and people start travelling all over the country.

would think about using this if the vouchers can be used to get food delivered. wonder if that's covered?

are there actually vouchers or are they just going to pay participating restaurants directly?

Rona aside, there are people in the poorest parts of Bradford, like the Windhill estate who struggle enough to eat in, but these aren't people Rishi gives a flying fuck about.

Eek, this seems to include second homes, buy-to-lets and overseas buyers & remove the advantage that first time buyers had to get onto the housing ladder.
