Landlords and restaurant bosses desperate to get staffing levels back to normal have also called on UK chancellor Rishi Sunak to end furlough. Small business owner Jamie Rogers, who is offering new staff a £1,000 bonus each, has said pubs and restaurants will face a "huge problem by winter" if things don't change.

The scheme, which supports workers by providing 80 per cent of their wages up to £2,500 per month is currently in place until September. Workers will get a £200 bonus for the first person who passes their probation period, followed by £300 for the next friend, and up to £2,000 for five friends.
