Give all key workers a £10,000 tax break (in addition to the existing allowance)

What the petition asks

Give all key workers an additional £10,000 tax free allowance
Many people are still working to keep this country running - from healthcare staff to shop workers, to postal workers and bus drivers - too many to list here.

With a lot of the country on furlough schemes getting most of their wages to sit at home whilst all the key workers put their own (and household) at risk. There has been no recognition and many are physically and mentally exhausted from increased work loads.

Give something back to those who kept this country running.
