    The messages coming from government to business are changing by the hour on not only vaccine passports, but now self-isolation. Firms are increasingly confused and frustrated as they struggle to make sense of these mixed messages. Businesses need clear guidance now.
    Crucial for pinged people to self-isolate, Downing Street says bbc.in/3kPu0jp

    Right for @Keir_Starmer to highlight the need for extension of financial support. Extending and expanding business rates relief and keeping furlough scheme open will be critical in giving firms confidence for the future, as our research today shows 👇 britishchambers.org.uk/news/2021/02/b…

    Reallocating money returned to the Treasury would go some way to helping those most affected by the pandemic, including grants support for the hardest-hit firms and for the #ExcludedUK who so far haven't received any @GOVUK support 👇
    🚨 BACK OUR BUSINESSES 🚨 With more than £1bn in unused Covid support cash being returned to the Treasury, we today urge @RishiSunak to ring-fence these funds for firms in sectors that have been hardest hit. 👉 bit.ly/3qnN0FN #BackOurBusinesses #KeepBusinessMoving

    When implemented fairly - flexible working makes good business sense - supporting the recruitment and retention of skills and increasing diversity, engagement and productivity in the workforce
    Flexible working is not just working from home, it's about work fitting around our lives instead of dictating them. It means flexible hours and flexibility around childcare and caring responsibilities so working people have a better work-life balance. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

    👏Lots of potential in CPTPP. The other 11 member countries make up one of the fastest growing areas of the global economy. It can help UK firms with supply chain flexibility, easier capability to transfer data, and provide stronger procurement and investment opportunities. 👇
    NEWS: The Trade (CPTPP) Act has now received Royal Assent in Parliament, a major step towards joining the Indo-Pacific trade bloc later this year. With the UK as a member, CPTPP will account for 15% of global GDP, a boost for UK growth & wages. More: gov.uk/government/new…
