After watching Sky News today & yesterday it looks like putting arms around business & jobs promised by Boris Johnson is over. Please Kay Burley could you highlight the still closed #exhibitions industry? Safely reopen in Europe, be interesting 2 hear why uk is still closed?

Is it over? Please help and share Alison Griffin TICTelford Rosalind Godfrey The Rt Hon Mark Pritchard MP festivals360 Deen Castronovo Lost The Plot @ShimermanArmin Press Red Rentals | AV & LED Screen Hire | Telford

I couldn’t agree more, total insanity! The majority of #eventprofs R highly paid business professionals with decades of experience in a thriving sector before Boris Johnson shut it down. Please continue the fight Lucy Powell MP Lucy Allan Nigel Huddleston MP

Any business that is being forced to close or function well under capacity because of the government’s COVID-19 response measures should be financially protected. None of this is their fault and the government has a moral obligation to protect them. Please retweet if you agree.

Thank you once again Lucy Allan I hope your voice is heard alongside ours for a date to reopen announced soon. Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma Rishi Sunak Oliver Dowden just confirming a date could save thousands of #eventprofs jobs.

And now we see Royal Albert Hall is open from December for audience up to 3000 which has been agreed as Covid safe capacity for that venue. Is this good news then? Larger gatherings are back from December dependant on venue capacity? Rishi Sunak Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma Oliver Dowden

It’s time to open up with safety measures in place - just like any other work place eg UK House of Commons

⁦Rishi Sunak⁩ hopefully you haven’t forgotten the sectors closed by law #rainbow #support #exhibitions #events #FridayFeeling ⁦Boris Johnson⁩ ⁦Oliver Dowden⁩ ⁦Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma⁩ ⁦@DKShrewsbury⁩ ⁦Lucy Allan⁩ ⁦Shropshire Star⁩ #eventprofs

This is such a powerful slide. Europe back to it & UK still closed. #events industry left in limbo with no open date & no financial support. Boris Johnson you understand importance & economic value of this sector. Nadhim Zahawi Lucy Allan when will we have an update on the plan?

This seems helpful and genuine. Let’s hope this stops some of the terrible job losses we are seeing at the moment & prevents more business from being thrown on the Covid scrap pile. #WeMakeEvents I hope this helps our sector until we can reopen🙏🏼

Thanks to The Times and Sunday Times for this coverage. We need more media coverage from the likes of Sky News Kay Burley BBC Business please. It’s not just pubs and student being devastated by the handling of Covid. Nadhim Zahawi Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma Lucy Allan Rishi Sunak #WeMakeEvents

Dan Walker Oliver Dowden Why is the UK the only European country not currently allowing exhibitions, trade shows and conferences to run, when we already have the DCMS-approved safety guidance ready to go?

And #events industry is still stuck in limbo. Venues, hotels, performers, production crew & entire supply chain unable to work and unsure what or if they qualify for support. Nov is a week away & still waiting for details of JSS, headlines alone don’t pay wages! Rishi Sunak

#AskRishi We take it from Parliamentary coverage, large exhibition/conference venues (those which host gatherings of a scale suspended since March 20) are eligible for the JSS closed scheme. Please confirm yes.

Depressing reading. 200,000 jobs lost already in one industry and many more to come if UK Prime Minister doesn’t act soon to reopen business #events which can be safely run. All our cities are impacted financially by the loss of them. BBC Breakfast BBC Business Sky News
