What the petition asks
Keep the temporary rise in Universal Credit of £20 a week until April 2022
As the Pandemic may not be over in April 2021 and also 5 million people will sadly be losing their jobs at the end of March 2021 due to the furlough ending,so these people deserve to be supported and given enough time to find new jobs thank you.
