So...Gov covering wages....not as far reaching as promised? 11:44 - Mar 21 with 716 views

According to the BBC:

It is understood the wage subsidy will apply to firms where bosses have already had to lay off workers due to the pandemic, as long as they are brought back into the workforce and instead granted a leave of absence.

So...Gov covering wages up to Â£2.5k only applies if you've already laid people off?

Isn't it as well as firms that have had to lay people off?

Of course it is.

It isn’t clear but what happens if you can’t work due to having to look after kids, work won’t pay dependency for long and if you can’t work from home but can’t go to work then what happens then ? Just universal credit isn’t going to cover much.

Not sure if it applies to businesses that don't need to lay people off immediately?

Can this be right? Someone on Â£30k a year gets a Â£24k salary from the government during the #CoronaCrisis.

But a #selfemployed person gets just Â£94 a week, which would be Â£4,800 a year. pic.twitter.com/HYFR8sWE5h

And the first response to Jeremy Vine's tweet is very sobering:

lost everything! â˜¹ï¸ I've been self employed for 28 yrs paid all my taxes N.I & never claimed benefits. need Â£2000 a month to support my family currently nothing coming in as we are self isolating, due to youngest child with symptoms. my life insurance policy doesn't cover suicide

Can see why some are arguing that Universal Basic Income would of been a much fairer way to have gone about this.
