Summary

We must stand together and support businesses and the economy. In this episode, Rob talks about the impact the new restrictions and changes are having, especially for smaller businesses and wants to know what can be done to help. KEY TAKEAWAYS Travel giants like TUI and Best Western are struggling, so how do we think smaller businesses are coping? Rob supported the furlough scheme and other smaller schemes in previous restrictions. But what are the government doing now to help? Are there things we can do as individuals to help? If something happens in the world that is unforeseen and businesses can’t operate, the government needs to step in and help. It's our job as individuals to push for this and help provide ideas and solutions. Too many people don’t see the true benefits of the economy: it matters. Small businesses make up for a very large proportion of the economy, as much as 90% in some cases.

0:00.0	I think we absolutely must stand together to support business and support our economy.
0:10.0	So this Omicron variant and the reactions from our governments is really starting to hit
0:16.9	business hard. I think we absolutely must stand together to support business and support our economy.
0:27.5	Now I can't comment on whether the actions in the government are right or wrong or over or
0:34.7	undercooked. But what I can comment on is many hotels much of the leisure industry has had
0:42.7	mass cancellations on the news of the Omicron variant, on the news of having to wear masks in
0:50.4	travel, transport, travel and retail. So a few examples here, Chewy, the travel giant. I've
1:00.9	just announced that their bookings are way down. Best Western have had a massive number of cancellations.
1:10.4	But imagine the small businesses, the pubs, the bars, the clubs, the restaurants, the hairdressers,
1:18.4	all of the small businesses that we all still want on our high street. Like if you believe
1:25.0	that massive retail parks and corporations and Walmarts and Amazons, you believe this is not the
1:34.0	way the high street should be and that we should support business owners, then you need to share
1:39.7	this content and you need to stand up and get the message out. I'm not saying to just go and slap
1:46.2	and criticise what the government or doing but to stand together to support the small business.

2:01.5	eat, any place that you go, anything that you buy, anything that you need to survive, a business
2:10.0	an entrepreneur has created that product or that service for you to consume. So if you stand in
2:19.2	silence and don't get on the back of supporting and championing and standing up for business,
2:28.2	that's going to hurt you. Now if the travel industry is to getting massive cancellations and
2:35.3	their lowest bookings, then we don't have tourism and travel into the UK. We don't have the
2:41.8	all the economy that that brings. Big companies go bust, thousands of staff lose their jobs,
2:49.8	the cost to the economy goes up because all of those people who are jobless have to be subsidised
