Wednesday 20 May
The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced to the House of Lords yesterday (via Zoom) that the impact of Caronavirus and the subsequent recession “will be severe”.
Recession affects everyone in some way or other but obviously, in the worst cases, people will lose their jobs and be unable to get anything else.
In April alone, unemployment has risen to 2.1 million and job vacancies fell by a quarter – and the recession hasn’t even started yet!
Again, as always it will be the poorest who will feel it the most, the rich might be inconvenienced.
On a lighter note, we saw this cloud whilst walking the other evening; I love the fact that clouds can do this, present a familiar shape, then within a few seconds it’s gone. Right place, right time.
