What the petition asks
This government should enact legislation to provide all UK residents with a basic income to allow the purchase of basic necessities during the Coronavirus outbreak as many employed and self employed will have no effective income during this time nor access to benefits.
This is a major pandemic and this country must ensure the survival of its residents and business owners for the long term benefit of our economy.
