Hey guys! Today we’re playing some good, old-fashioned, Pestilens campaign! Skrolk’s starting situation has changed a startling amount since launch since he’s basically got 4 new LL’s within spitting distance (And these unhygienic folks spit on everything!). I’m sure it’s nothing we can’t handle.
I’m not doing a ‘naked’ run for this campaign since I don’t feel like it changed all that much for Tyrion, but we are going to be sticking fairly heavily to the Pestilens theme so we’ll have somewhat limited options for certain challenges. Plaguemonks and Plagueclaw Catapults aren’t the best tools for killing Carnosaurs, after all. Enjoy!
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has extended the UK government’s Job Retention Scheme and will also boost financial help for the self-employed — a support package that could cost nearly £100bn in total. However, there are conditions attached to his largesse. Join our live Q&A with the FT’s personal finance editor Claer Barrett and executive news editor Dan Thomas at 12pm UK time Tuesday. Our experts will attempt to explain how the chancellor plans to dial down emergency support in favour of a “national effort” to create jobs and build a new economy.
The UK chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has announced that the furlough scheme put in place during lockdown will start to change from August, when employers will be asked to resume paying their staff’s national insurance and employer pension contributions. They will then have to pay 10% of wages in September and 20% in October

Today’s government press conference was given by Chancellor Rishi Sunak. He was joined by Prof Stephen Powis, the medical director of NHS England.
The government’s emergency scheme to save millions of jobs by paying most of people’s salaries will be extended until the end of October. The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has told the BBC that many jobs have already been saved by the furlough scheme.
But there’s growing concern about the £14 billion a month cost of the scheme so the Chancellor has announced significant changes.
– Until July the government will continue to pay 80% of wages up to £2,500 per month.
– But from August employers will have to share the cost, as their staff return to work. And employers will be able to bring staff back to work part-time, which isn’t allowed at the moment.

The British government has unveiled another massive income support scheme, this time for 5 million or so self-employed people, many of whom face financial ruin from the shock of the coronavirus pandemic.
Treasury chief Rishi Sunak said the new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme will replicate the one he announced last week for those workers that firms retained rather than lay off.
Sunak said the government will pay self-employed people, who have been adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak, a grant worth 80% of their average monthly profits over the past three years, up to 2,500 pounds ($2,975) per month.
