The Issue

Government support for the self-employed during the Covid-19 crisis is stopping at the end of May 2020 but the furlough scheme for employed people has been extended to October. We need help just as much as employees yet we are being discriminated against. 
This petition requests the government treat self employed the same as employed staff & pay 80% of our average monthly earnings inline with the furlough scheme for the same amount of time as everybody else. We are not asking for more, just help until we can return to work and to be treated as equals.
