Immediate Universal Benefits payments to every household that has no Key Workers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Easy online applications and payments to families within a week so that total lockdown and isolation can be managed.
Most people able to continue working and unable to survive without earnings will be forced to go to work and go viral with Coronavirus instead of going Viral supporting the NHS with isolation. Please make this available so that more people do not die and more people can be helped by NHS.
