    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-n…

    • yes but £95 a week (if sick) for the self employed. Hopefully will change soon.fadein11
    • Our beloved U.S. Congress is fighting over whether to send out a one time check for $650 or $1,200- per person.utopian
    • not good utop, I hope they do similar. It was a huge unexpected response from our govt. It just left out a lot of people who frequent this site. Freelancers,fadein11
    • sole traders, contractors, tradesmen etc. The tories pride themselves on the party of entrepreneurs but it looks like we may be left out to dry on this one.fadein11
    • As I say, hopefully there will be yet another u-turn as things are changing day by day. £95 a week compared to 80% salary. Bizarre. Backlash has been huge allfadein11
    • day so we will have to wait to see.
      All the best to you and yours.
