The government and private sector should forge a new partnership to fuel a post-pandemic recovery that could include greater financial contributions from businesses to aid policy reforms, some of Britain's leading bosses have told Boris Johnson. Sky News has seen an open letter sent to the prime minister by the COVID Recovery Commission, a group set up last year that is chaired by the Tesco chairman, John Allan, and includes top executives from AstraZeneca, Heathrow Airport, Shell and Vodafone. In it, the executives acknowledge that building a "stronger, fairer and more resilient" economy will involve "a recognition that business's place in the 21st century will be to serve more than just shareholders". The letter will be accompanied by the publication of a report on Friday - Building Back Together - in which the Commission raises the prospect of private sector employers investing more into a more effective apprenticeship scheme than the widely criticised Apprenticeship … [Read more...] about Forge new post-COVID partnership with business, bosses urge Johnson

Dr Alex George and Alexandra Cane were brutally dumped from the Island this evening - just one day before the final. On Friday, each of the Islanders had to vote off one other couple. This meant that Laura Anderson and Paul Knops, Josh Denzel and Kazimir Crossley, and Alex and Alexandra were at risk of being dumped from the Island. But Alex and Alexandra received the fewest votes from the public and were booted out of the villa. On leaving the villa, the doctor insisted that it was the right time to go, considering they were the only pair not romantically coupled. He said: "I feel like it’s been an incredible journey, I have had so many highs and some lows as well. I think at this point and where I’ve got to and how the journey has been, it’s the right time.
