The only area I can think of where continued furlough payments could be justified is in the travel industry, because it's the government that is imposing restrictions which severely limits the profitability and employment needs of these businesses.
It's strange that you are suddenly so concerned about the economy when you were spouting forth a little while ago how spending all this money was of no consequence. At such low levels of interest rates, you said, it would cost us nothing. I think you forgot that loans still had to be paid back!

There’s no going back to 2019 just because they removed restrictions as you can see with many sectors complaining people are staying away.
It’s not strange that I’m concerned about the economy but you’ll note I said
businesses and jobs. Your first paragraph proposes to throw a generation on the scrap heap, in low quality, low paying precarious work that Government subsidises through tax credits. That doesn’t create a growing, sustainable economy it simply entrenches stagnation and recession in the long run.
Can you source me the repayment plan for the £2 trillion of national debt?
