Support the self-employed during COVID-19 with an equivalent to minimum wage
Currently, self employed persons are only entitled to universal credit which is £317.82 per month. This should be increased based on the living wage
We can all agree it’s unreasonable for the self employed during these times to survive on £317.82 per month. Now more than ever we need help and support from the government
