Labour: Dodds on job losses from coronavirus pandemic

The shadow chancellor says the reward for workers after the coronavirus pandemic “cannot be a redundancy notice”.

Labour's Anneliese Dodds said the government “had an exit without a strategy” and called on it to end a “one-size-fits-all wind down” of the job-protection and self-employed schemes.

Her speech came after companies announced thousands of job cuts this week, resulting from the pandemic.
