Help for the self employed

I’ve posted on a other thread what needs to be done on top of the measures Sunak has put into place.

The whole point is that it it will be extraordinarily short sighted if these people are not helped and the U.K. would be in danger of experiencing a degree of social unrest not seen for a very long time.

We have to ask ourselves what sort of society we want. Other countries have assisted the self employed during this period and so should would we.

A crises does not mean that democracy ceases. Criticism is a necessary process both to allow the majority in the U.K. who are not represented by this government to have a voice, and to hold the governments feet to the fire to ensure that all decisions are sound.

I deplore many people susiewoozie.
Re self employed cleaners I have already arranged to pay mine in full in her absence by bank transfer. All employers could do the same.
DH is self employed btw.

Jane deplores sniping from the sidelines but not mindless cheerleading.

Jane10 Sorry but some sniping is needed.

There are about 5 million people who are self employed out there. A small percentage will make large profits but the majority don't. For several their sources of work have dried up. I have some clients who who work in the film industry who were told last week that the studios were closing at the weekend and so they have no work for the forseeable future.

I also posted on mumsnet yesterday and one poor lady who is a cleaner has lost all her clients and she sounds distraught.

So what about the left out workers Jane They don’t matter? Other countries have come up with a solution

And the economic brains to see what's going on and what's likely to happen. So easy to sit on the sidelines sniping away ?

He does have a good speech writer though

And RS is nowhere near the boy wonder his adoring fan base think he is - it’s just that bar is very low

The self- employed and zero hours workers have been thrown under the bus whilst no doubt as we post, big tax avoiding corporations will have their accountants working overtime to inveigle every penny they can from RS’s package. Wait till we hear diwn the line who got what - and it won’t be my lovely self employed electrician that’s for sure

Thank you but the link isn’t working.
