Include the self employed in the jobs retention scheme
After the chancellors announcement on Friday March 20th it was clear that the government are hanging the self employed out to dry.
Government assistance for employed people during the Covid 19 crisis is paying up to £2500 per month.
For the self employed it’s £376 per month.There are 5 million self employed people in the UK.
We need the government to announce equal measures to help now!
