The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg challenges the chancellor on the"problems" with the first version of the Job Support Scheme and the changes to it.
The chancellor replies that the government will adapt and resolve its financial aid response"as the situation adapts and changes and as health restrictions change".
"A lot depends on what happens now over the next few weeks," he adds, insisting the situation must be closely monitored.
bbclaurak The numbers are marginally decreasing, as for Christmas, I'm not bothered, it's overrated...
bbclaurak I will have a normal xmas with my family and no1 will tell me different!!!!!
bbclaurak F off. I'll decide how I spend my Christmas and any other day for that matter, including who I see and in what setting. No dictatorship is going to rule me or who my toddler is able to see and hug. nomasks
BBCPolitics bbclaurak Laura as always playing her part in the latest Tory pantomime- this is how it goes.. the minions were worried the big bad government weren’t going to allow them to spend xmas with their loved ones, .. along came Johnson in a puff of smoke and at the 11th hour granted their wish .
bbclaurak But the numbers aren’t increasing quickly.

bbclaurak Family celebrations of Eid were cancelled in England the night before Family celebrations of Rosh Hashannah were cancelled in Israel the night before Family celebrations of Christmas might be cancelled with weeks of notice During a pandemic To save the lives of those we love.
bbclaurak I will celebrate it with who I want as long as they are happy to do so. Let’s hope they don’t start testing for flu because 75% show mild or no symptoms, sound familiar..
bbclaurak Ill be having an old normal Christmas with more than 6 people and more than 2 households, without social distancing.
bbclaurak My mother in law is coming for Christmas. I don’t even like her, but she will be coming no matter what the government say!
bbclaurak Celebrate Brexit. Commission tried to punish you as a warning to sovereign nations. They try to plot with UK elites to subvert it. It was a most dishonest broker. But no deal is the best outcome imaginable : industrial, monetary, immigration. trade policies are wide open now
bbclaurak The 1 question not 1 journalist has asked yet is if the number of admissions to hospitals for people with covid putting even more pressure on our seriously underfunded NHS why are they not sending the covid patients to the nightingale hospitals as isnt that are what they are for
bbclaurak 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😉😉😉😉bbc are a laughable
bbclaurak Once LK and BR were done asking their politically bias questions we actually had some decent questions
bbcsoutheast bbclaurak Turn off BBC at Christmas will help a little
bbclaurak You only did what you did to Andy Burnham because you thought it would devide us. Well how wrong was you .
bbclaurak You only give what Andy Burnham asked for in thee end, we still stand by him, 🌹
bbclaurak Dear 10DowningStreet YouTube Channel, Speakers for 'Coronavirus Press Conference' are listed. Thank-you. Please also list the 'Questioners'. This would give us 'Up Front Notice' those who have a penchant for constant 'EXTREME Gov't Bashing' or 'NEGATIVE Tyrannical Tirade'🤦♂️🤮💩
bbclaurak Have got to do what we gotta do, as John wayne said 👌
bbclaurak What a fkn stupid question....
bbclaurak Oh god she’s awful. Ms Gotcha Sturgeon clone. Tedious.
bbclaurak no greater love
bbclaurak Anyone wants to hear what is really going on listen to this. It’s long but explains the actual science in a way that Boris n chums don’t! Truthfully!
bbclaurak Laura, even suggesting the possibility of digital Christmas as an alternative is ridiculous. My family speak to my daughter in Canada every Christmas and let me tell you it is not the same as being together! We would not do it out of choice believe me. You need to get real.
bbclaurak We ask these questions like we can all just stay at home. Meawhile a lot of people have no choice but to go to work or lose their jobs as cops, truck drivers, hospital staff and support workers, meat packers, farm workers, Walmart workers, just to name a few - while you whine.
bbclaurak These figures are manipulated to meet the needs! Let speak about admissions and the criteria for you to record them!! The silenced workers need to speak and stand up. People will be made accountable in the end!
bbclaurak It is a question millions of people are asking and talking about,not every question has to be politically motivated,so many pompous and condescending people on here does my head in
bbc5live bbclaurak What a shit question!! She gets paid for that. 🙄

bbc5live bbclaurak Anyone who thinks the only way I'm seeing my family on Christmas Day is via a Teams meeting can think again!
bbclaurak if you honestly think people wont spend Christmas with family and do it digitally your backward.
bbclaurak lol, I won’t be- don’t care what the rules are
bbclaurak Instead of getting at government how about getting out and about and encouraging the people and public to abide by rules and protocols so that it’s reduced
bbclaurak How many times can he say 'er'
bbclaurak Will i fudge!! If the queen doesn't have to restrict family then neither do we!! WelshGovernment MarkDrakeford RoyalFamily
bbclaurak Numbers will flatten under 25k soon locals all way see next week u
bbclaurak I think it’s down to the individual. As has been talked about plenty, if you’re in those last years of your life are you going to want to spend what could possible be your last christmas alone?
bbclaurak Please bbc ask actual tough questions
bbc5live bbclaurak THIS is the most pressing question you can think of ?
BBCPolitics bbclaurak Christmas is no more. What I mean is, there will be no consumer Christmas. Kids WILL go hungry. No extended family get together to have turkey. No jobs, repossessions, suicides and of course no TestandTrace But feel free to pray if it makes you feel better. PoliticsLive
bbclaurak My 84 year old mother has it sorted She's going to shoot the Turkey and invite 30 of us to the funeral
bbclaurak bbclaurak showing the world again why she is a shit journalist. Not asking a proper question, like why the hell are you decimating the economy and ruining young peoples lives when the majority of people won't be affected!
bbclaurak The BBC is a discredited, scaremongering lie machine. Cared to ask about the number of deaths or compared with pressures on hospitals with previous years? Guess not, because you might realise that the number of deaths is low and hospitals generally much quieter than normal.
bbclaurak Why does no one seem to mention the obvious? If the rate of infection is increasing in an area then that is the fault of the public, obviously not protecting themselves or others. It’s not the governments fault it spreading, it’s joe public! People need to face up to facts.
bbclaurak Kids are going HUNGRY, Laura and Boris is having a jolly good time. Ask the right questions.
bbclaurak Life’s what you make it we had COVID March ok now long term side affects life’s for Living age 73
bbclaurak Lura is quite remarkable. She makes asking question via her haemorrhoids look so natural. Since the lobotomy’s taken full effect it certainly has limited her journalism skills but boosted her paparazzi ability. She brings a smile to my prostrate.
bbclaurak Another brilliant question from LK getting right to the crux of things and guaranteed to wind the population into a fit of the screaming abdabs about nothing. Again.
BBCPolitics bbclaurak Why do the journalists who get to challenge key individuals at these press conference offer such poor questions. Why not challenge the evidence behind the decisions? There are some pretty big assumptions they are basing their decisions on!
bbclaurak 25th December will happen. Obviously. The way it happens for many will be different. Just like everything else since March is different. We will adapt won't we? The only priority is to stop illness, death and misery, keep the economy going and look forward to a better 2021 .
bbclaurak Billions squandered by a corrupt Government on a failing Track and Trace system provided by Tory party supporters, and this counts as scrutiny?
bbc5live bbclaurak Nothing is changing in my household, fuck this government and their stupidity Minimal numbers of a virus that doesn't kill you yet the world is closing down Fuck that
bbclaurak Get a grip Laura if Christmas has to be sacrificed so be it if it saves lives! DefundTheBBC scumedia
bbclaurak Yes, except Dom and Stanley who do what they bally well like
bbclaurak If they started to follow the rules now, they might get a Christmas.
bbclaurak It’s simple shut all pubs bars rest cafes etc for Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing Day. Let everybody go into extended family homes, up to 20 per house - done!!!
bbclaurak What’s the false positive rate? Do you even understand what that is and how it affects the figures?
bbclaurak Bollocks to Xmas - it’s one day , and the rest is an excuse to get pissed . Bigger things going on like job losses and a shafted economy
bbclaurak Definitely going to be celebrating Christmas without the bbc blaring out its biased narrative. defundthebbc
bbclaurak No. We do what we like if we feel confidence
BBCPolitics bbclaurak I think he said we have to wait and see what the impact of the restrictions have on the R number. What happens depends largely on how well the public follow the guidelines.
bbclaurak What are the numbers based on? False positive tests? A PCR test unfit for purpose? How can anything they say be taken seriously?
BBCPolitics bbclaurak Journos pitching Government between the devil & the blue sea. When the press aren't asking why Government didn't pay out more and more quickly, they ask how sustainable this Government expenditure is - one of the most generous schemes anywhere in the world.
bbclaurak Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross supports free school meal support for vulnerable Scottish children but votes against it for vulnerable English. Why do Conservative MPs hate the English so much they deny us parity with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all the time?
bbclaurak Don't know why sacrificing Xmas for one year, is such a big ask. We sacrificed 2 Eid's. One with rules imposed at the 11th hour. I'd rather my loved one's are healthy and safe. To celebrate 🥳 another day. Shouldn't be a hoohah and a crying into your cornflakes, ask. IMO.
BBCPolitics bbclaurak Analog Christmases are soooo last year.
bbclaurak Some of us are not unhappy about this.
bbclaurak Very very few people are actually dying. 🤷🏿♂️
bbclaurak There’s no choice. If we all want to keep safe
bbclaurak People don’t have to do any of this BS, they are simply complying to idiotic demands.
bbclaurak 100% under surveillance fact
nickeardleybbc bbclaurak its the same old routine, Johnson just repeating himself Mr Vallance seems to have distanced himself from johnson, which is good, we have a PM who knows better than everyone, his leadership is diluted, being a PM is a vocation, to help people not a game to inflate his ego.
bbclaurak You can do what you want for Christmas. Go to your parent's house if they're happy for you to do that. It's a private affair.
bbclaurak I'll be having a family Christmas thanks. Fuck your rules.
bbclaurak don't worry Laura you can still spend your £700k
bbclaurak Just say yes and be done with it. Stop faffing about.
BBCPolitics bbclaurak Why digitally?! Can always use the jolly of the eyesight test! 🤡
bbclaurak Doubt it. My kids have missed out on enough this year
bbclaurak Christmas Zoom quiz...... DailyBriefing
bbclaurak Some families might actually prefer that for Christmas...
bbclaurak Yes.
bbclaurak Cutting edge question about the Zoom Christmas but could you ask why the Government is ok with children starving? Ta.
bbclaurak That is a complex way of saying yes.
bbclaurak Why is nobody talking about schools?
bbclaurak
bbclaurak I cannot not be asked with Christmas this year waste of time 😒 🙄 😪 😑 🙃
bbclaurak Yeeeeaaaahhhhh..... Nope. Not happening.
