What the petition asks

Nurses, doctors, care workers and support staff are putting their lives on the line every day to save others. The Sunday Mirror is calling on the Government to give them an immediate pay supplement for the duration of the crisis in recognition of what they do.

Those battling on the NHS frontline and care workers tending the elderly and vulnerable are the bravest of the brave in the war against Covid-19. When our armed forces are posted to combat zones they receive a daily, tax free operational allowance while there. Chancellor Rishi Sunak should introduce a similar scheme now for our courageous corona warriors. It is the least a grateful nation can do to say thank you.
