Hundreds of thousands of people have been refused goverment support by their employers during the covid-19 pandemic
Self-isolation is essential to stopping the spread of Covid-19. SAGE experts say financial hardship, deprivation and inability to work from home have been obstacles. Media reports suggest the Treasury disagrees. I’ve written to the Chancellor to ask if this is true.
"We are fighting this virus with one hand tied behind our back, asking low paid to go hungry in order not to spread virus" Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth says "transmission chains won't be broken without decent sick pay and isolation support" bbc.in/2Mu5eq7
The Government has a woeful record on self-isolation support. Tens of thousands of people are denied support because the Government simply hasn't made enough funding available. This is a Government that has spent billions on a failing test and trace.
@JackDromeyMP @TheIFS @ExcludedUK I’m expecting a divide and rule tactic. He’s already decided to ignore the 3 million #excluded but they keep coming back and embarrassing him. He won’t want to pay out for all, so he’ll pay enough people that the movement will quieten down, but not all. That’ll be his plan.
