The government's income protection scheme isnโt available to self-employed people, zero-hours contract workers or small businesses. People Iโve spoken to give themselves 2-4 weeks before they go under. Rishi Sunak, get a grip on this.
There are 4.8 million self-employed in the UK. We contribute ยฃ305 billion to the UK economy. We don't get sick pay, we don't get holiday pay. We do pay our taxes and PAYE. So why Rishi Sunak are we worth 80% LESS than those who are employed? Stop #CovidInequality - level us up.
UK Parliament: Realistic government financial support for self-employed - Sign the Petition! chng.it/Dx47pYHC via Change.org UK
I just signed the petition to get all council tax bills suspended for 3 months during coronavirus. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/suspโฆ via 38 Degrees
Important to note that I asked Hancock this question primarily because the New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern & her cabinet have just cut their own pay by 20% for 6 months.
