The Chancellor stated that nobody would be left behind, and support would be provided to all who needed it.
Approximately 3 million are excluded from current support schemes, due to starting self employment or changing jobs after specific dates, meaning they have had no income since mid march.
This is not fair.
A single taxable payment will help the economy recover and ensure future government income via tax.
The alternative is increased unemployment and unnecessary strain on the benefit system.
