Give the National Living Wage to the Self Employed during Corona Virus Crisis
The income support for the Self Employed falls far below that of Directors or the Employed. SSP provides less than £400 a week for the Self Employed when up £2500 is being proved to all other employed persons. This is grossly unfair and will drive many hard working entrepreneurs into bankruptcy.
Create something nearing fairness by providing the National Living Wage to those that are Self Employed during the Corona Virus Crisis.
