Self employed need paying throughout this pandemic, they have families to feed and houses to pay for just as much as the employees who can receive 80% of their earnings!!!
The self employed wont last, it's going to cause major debt throughout the millions of self employed in the uk. You should be paying them their equivalent of 80% of their wage from the HMRC tax returns of previous year.
