Chancellor to provide adequate support for sole directors and self employed
Rishi Sunak neglects his responsibility by not providing adequate support to sole directors or self-employed workers during the Coronavirus crisis. His deliberate ignorance towards hard working, tax paying citizens is draconian and considered by some, as barbaric. Financial support is needed NOW
The owners of small businesses, self-employed and sole directors, with or without an independent business addresses, have not received adequate financial support through the Coronavirus crisis.
The Chancellor is proving to be neglegent by not supporting this sector appropriately
The Chancellor is being asked to review the support package for small businesses and consider the implications this will have on many families. A suitable financial support package is needed urgently
