Business leaders are calling for more financial support from the government to survive the new lockdown, the Financial Times reports. Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, leader of the Confederation of British Industry, called the latest restrictions a “body blow”. She said the relationship between business and Downing Street “could be a lot better”. And Helen Dickinson, head of the British Retail Consortium, said the measures would cause “untold damage to the High Street in the run-up to Christmas”.
