What the petition asks

We are facing unprecedented times. Jobs are being lost , income is being lost and without government support hundreds of thousands will become homeless in the UK if support isn't offered. If Macron can do It in France, so can you Boris. Speak to suppliers and agree terms to support UK citizens.
People need to have the security of their homes while this virus is taking over. People need to know that even if they lose their jobs and income they will be able to start again when this passes. If people lose their homes this will not be possible.
