The SDLP鈥檚 Colum Eastwood said a 鈥渘ormal worker鈥� under a new furlough scheme would be entitled to 拢227 per week from November.

Asked if he could live on that money, the prime minister said he was 鈥減roud鈥� of the national living wage, and under the job support scheme and universal credit 鈥渘obody gets less than 93% of their current income鈥�.
