Tory Chancellor Rishi Sunak is preparing to push people off a cliff edge by ending the job-saving furlough scheme in October
Voice of the Mirror: 'Britain cannot afford return to crippling mass unemployment'
Britain cannot afford a return to crippling mass unemployment, and the Covid-19 pandemic has already cost one million workers their livelihoods.
But Chancellor Rishi Sunak is preparing to push people off a cliff edge by ending the job-saving furlough scheme in October.
The most important issue is not the cost of rescue packages but the damage inflicted on workers and the economy.
A bold, brave government would continue support for individuals and businesses until the virus is fully under control, so the economy can bounce back as quickly as possible.
If ministers shut or restrict businesses, it is only fair that the workers and owners affected should be entitled to financial compensation.
The Government’s bailouts are relatively meagre compared to France or Germany, and we urge the Chancellor and PM to save jobs and firms. A return to the high unemployment of the 1980s is a price we must avoid paying.
Boost NHS pay
If the brightest and best of the “Covid generation” cannot be convinced to work for the NHS, medical care in our country will suffer in future.

England’s Chief Nursing Officer, Ruth May, is right to appeal to students getting their A-level results tomorrow to consider careers in the NHS.
But unions representing hundreds of thousands of existing staff are also right to call for better wages, after the Tories left nurses out of the public sector coronavirus pay rise.
NHS workers quitting in their droves tell us something is wrong in our most precious public service. If we want more people to join, the Government must treat them better.
Puppies’ victory
Parliament debating the Mirror’s campaign to ban puppy imports is a big win in the fight to stop a vile trade.

Eve Whitty 'couldn't believe how many people weren't wearing masks' at the Huyton store, so complained to Asda. She has called on the supermarket to be stricter on face coverings
A woman said she was left "fuming" with Asda's response to her complaints regarding face masks in her local store.
Eve Whitty said she "couldn't believe how many people weren't wearing masks" at the supermarket and went to raise her concerns with a member of staff.
Eve also approached a group of men who she described as being in their twenties to ask why they were not wearing face masks and the following day she emailed a complaint to Asda, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Eve has said she just wanted to highlight her concerns and was frustrated with Asda's response that they are "encouraging" customers to wear a face covering.

thedailymirror--2020-08-12--What time will A-level results be released tomorrow?

Students will receive their A-level results tomorrow , despite not sitting any of their final exams .
The coronavirus pandemic has led to students across the UK missing out on months of schooling and important end-of-year exams .
However , the government has decided to continue with results day as planned to ensure no further disruption to education .
A-level students will be particularly nervous this year , as it is expected that nearly 40 % of grades will be downgraded due to the algorithm used by exam boards to work out pupils ’ final marks .
When will A-level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be available from 8am on Thursday August 13 .
Students will receive their grades either in-person at their school or college , through email or by logging into the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service 's online portal .
Schools have been told to ensure that if students are coming into school to collect results that they operate in a Covid-secure way .
How will A-level grades be calculated ?
With no final exams to produce students ’ grades , results have had to be worked out using teachers ’ predictions and previous school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ predicted grades for pupils , which were then used to rank students from best to worst in each subject .
These class rankings were then used along with previous subject data from the school between 2017-20 , previous student data from 2017-20 and prior attainment data on the current year 's students , to provide a final mark .
The aim is to standardise the results , however there was anger in Scotland 124,000 results were downgraded with critics saying it unfairly hit pupils from deprived backgrounds , or at low-performing schools .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hasty U-turn as it scrapped downgraded results with teacher estimates back in .
However , results moderated upwards can be kept .
South of the border , the Conservatives have admitted that 40 % of results are set to be revised , with many expected to be downgraded .
What happens after ?
On Tuesday night , the government announced a new approach to help students , giving them a `` triple lock '' .
This allows students to use their mock exam results to mount an appeal , and gives students the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three options , which are : • Use the standardised grade that all students are getting Students can not directly challenge their grades themselves , but must ask their school to challenge them on their behalf .
If you don ’ t get the results you needed the university or college you applied to may accept you anyway .
Students have been advised to contact their chosen place of higher education if they miss out on a place due to lower than expected grades .

Students brace for A-level results chaos on Thursday as expert fears 'repeat of Scotland'

The coronavirus pandemic has led to students across the UK missing out on months of schooling and important end-of-year exams.
However, the government has decided to continue with results day as planned to ensure no further disruption to education.
A-level students will be particularly nervous this year, as it is expected that nearly 40% of grades will be downgraded due to the algorithm used by exam boards to work out pupils’ final marks.
When will A-level results be released?
A-level results will be available from 8am on Thursday August 13.
Students will receive their grades either in-person at their school or college, through email or by logging into the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service's online portal.
Schools have been told to ensure that if students are coming into school to collect results that they operate in a Covid-secure way.
How will A-level grades be calculated?

With no final exams to produce students’ grades, results have had to be worked out using teachers’ predictions and previous school data.
Teachers were required to provide predicted grades for pupils, which were then used to rank students from best to worst in each subject.
These class rankings were then used along with previous subject data from the school between 2017-20, previous student data from 2017-20 and prior attainment data on the current year's students, to provide a final mark.
The aim is to standardise the results, however there was anger in Scotland 124,000 results were downgraded with critics saying it unfairly hit pupils from deprived backgrounds, or at low-performing schools.
This forced the Scottish Government into a hasty U-turn as it scrapped downgraded results with teacher estimates back in. However, results moderated upwards can be kept.
South of the border, the Conservatives have admitted that 40% of results are set to be revised, with many expected to be downgraded.
What happens after?

On Tuesday night, the government announced a new approach to help students, giving them a "triple lock".
This allows students to use their mock exam results to mount an appeal, and gives students the chance to take the best result from three options, which are:
Use the standardised grade that all students are getting
Appeal using the mock grade
Re-sit exams in October
Students cannot directly challenge their grades themselves, but must ask their school to challenge them on their behalf.
If you don’t get the results you needed the university or college you applied to may accept you anyway.
Students have been advised to contact their chosen place of higher education if they miss out on a place due to lower than expected grades.

Is a recession a good time to buy a house? What may happen to prices

Is a recession a good time to buy a house?
There are pros and cons to buying a house during a recession.
When the economy is in decline, it does mean that house prices can be lower. This is because recessions lead to a loss of jobs and income, making people less willing to make large investments.

Homeowners who are in financial difficulty may be willing to lower their asking price, or they may be looking to complete a short sale to get out of their mortgage.
Mortgage rates also tend to fall during recessions which, going forward, could make your monthly payments significantly lower.
It's worth nothing that while purchase prices will be lower, you may need a larger deposit than you would in a healthy economy. This is because banks are less likely to lend large mortgages.
What are the disadvantages?
Fewer people voluntarily put their homes on the market during a recession.
They may wait until the economy recovers and house prices increase, to ensure they get the best possible deal for their home.
This means there will be fewer properties to choose from, and there may be issues with those that are on the market.
If you buy a property and then house prices continue to fall, there's also the fear you could get stuck in negative equity.
This is when your home is worth less than your mortgage - so even if you sold up, you would still be in debt.
It can take years for house prices to return to pre-crash levels after a recession, so if you invest in a new home, prepare to stay there for the foreseeable future.
This recession may not, however, cause the same fall in house prices.
The coronavirus pandemic has created an unusual economic situation whereby flexible working has prompted many to rethink their living situation.
With home-working becoming more popular, many are looking to relocate to larger properties, further away from the office.
According to data from Hamptons estate agents, 30% of properties sold in the last month were subject to a bidding war.
These homes are also selling for 98.6% of their asking price.
