Labour has accused the UK chancellor, Rishi Sunak, of consigning more than 1m jobs to the “scrapheap”, after failing to protect workers in the hard-hit wedding, exhibition and festival industries in his emergency Covid plans.
Shadow ministers claimed the plight of businesses that rely on mass gatherings – including events, festivals, sports venues and theatres – was overlooked by the chancellor when he presented his winter economic plan last week.
