Suspend tax and national insurance for ALL NHS workers
in this time of national crisis, our government should reward those workers who are risking the health of their family and themselves to care for the population. therefore lets show them how grateful we are by rewarding them for basically fighting a war for the country without being asked to.
if it wasnt for our fantastic NHS employees then the country would be on its knees and in anarchy. these workers risk their own and their familys health every day during this crisis, and are spending long hours at risk and away from their loved ones to care for the country.
immediatley exclude anybody employed by the NHS from liability for Tax and National insurance to enable those workers to see how much they mean to us.
