Extend the self-employed income support scheme in line with furlough
We now know employees will be covered until October under the furlough scheme. Yet the self-employed only have a few weeks left on their support scheme.
The SEISS scheme has given support to millions of self-employed people. But cutting it off will have a devastating impact for people all over the country.If the self-employed income support isn't extended, many of us won't be able survive.
Please make sure that the self-employed income support scheme is extended in line with employed support,for some of us our industries won't be starting up for a long time to come and we need to be supported like PAYE employees are
