PIERS Morgan slammed Steve Coogan today after The Sun revealed the Alan Partridge star is furloughing his house staff. The journalist blasted the comic as he left the taxpayer to stump up 80 per ce…
The two staff worked full-time at Coogan’s estate in the South before the Covid crisis.
Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said last night: “The furlough scheme is to protect businesses that are suspended and can’t operate during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s not illegal. But the Government furlough system was set up as a fallback to keep people in jobs, not to protect the wealth of multi-millionaires or billionaires by paying their staff for them.
It is equally repugnant that Foxtons magnate Jon Hunt has kept his £1.4billion dry by getting the public to pay his 25 furloughed country club workers. Let us never forget those mega-rich celebrity hypocrites who abused the State’s generosity during the Covid crisis and brought ordinary people’s ruin even closer.
