Allow self-employed the same right as everyone else that is furloughed - 80% pay

With them the new lockdown on the arisen, and people being furloughed with 80% pay. Allow the self-employed to claim the same instead of the 40% quoted now! They still have to pay bills, they still have mortgages and rent on buildings!

Since you started your petition the Government has extended the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme grant so that it covers a 3 month period from 1 November 2020 until 31 January 2021, for which the Government will provide a taxable grant calculated at 80% of 3 months average monthly trading profits, paid out in a single installment and capped at £7,500 in total: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/self-employment-income-support-scheme-grant-extension/self-employment-income-support-scheme-grant-extension
