Its a loan, nothing more, for the left on this I genuinely feel shit, but for the white van man sun reading bellend, well fuck me youâve voted for those cunts for years and I canât have much pity, I do but not a lot.
Taxing it is a cuntâs trick too. Should also be an allowance for some expenses. PAYE workers donât have to pay for things like liability insurance, vehicle costs etc. These costs fall on their employers. Itâs kind of what I expected. Better than a punch in the throat but certainly not parity with PAYE.

What bare faced liars they are. The e mail inviting them to join the scheme went astray so they didnât know whether the UK would be allowed to join the scheme.Obviously the EUâs fault. Never mind that on March 19th an EU spokesperson stated publicly that the UK was âeligible to participateâ because it was in the Brexit transition period and is thus being treated like a member state. Never mind that on Monday a government spokesman, when asked about this said that the UK will be ploughing our own path regarding ventilator requisition. Just this morning the prime ministerâs official spokesman told reporters when questioned: âWe are no longer members of the EU, we are doing our own work on ventilatorsâ. And this afternoon we have, "The EU ate my homeworkâ. Ideology trumps the health of the nation, that is the truth of the matter. Hence the reports of existing ventilator manufacturers contacting the government weeks ago suggesting production be ramped up. An MD of one such company was on Newsnight last night and said they didnât even get a response. The government are outsourcing emergency ventilator production to a company that have no expertise in the manufacture of ventilators because they have never made one before. And who gets the contract? Step forward James Dyson, long time Conservative Party member and donor, tax avoider and arch Brexiter. Tim Martin will be getting the contract for safety equipment next!
This government proves itself to be unfit for purpose as each day goes by, dangerously so. Government by lies, panic and incompetence. We are fucked

Doesnât help everyone unfortunately. Had 3 perm jobs fall through over the last 2 weeks, and now no prospect of any money to help. Goody.

Whatâs your situation, Shirty?
Will you get the ÂŁ2500 but not till June?
Iâm not sure where this leaves contractors?
Limited company guys could I guess furlough themselves but I suspect they havenât been paying themselves much of a salary and taking dividends
Devil is in the detail and I am still waiting to see it

Nope, Iâll get nothing
We canât furlough ourselves I donât think.
As a director you are an employee and I suspect you paid yourself a salary albeit a small one . Got to be worth a shout - the worst they can do is tell you to Piss off. Best case is that you might get something
I think it only applies to companies that are looking to make people redundant, and you canât make the director redundant. Iâm going to ask my accountant but looking at other contractors in the same situation I donât think you can.

80% of earnings uncapped seems reasonable.
Either that , or take additional measures so that those overheads are eliminated.
There will be people that cannot otherwise meet their financial obligations if theyâre capped at 2.5K. Given the option, they will work, will congregate and will spend the virus.
Do we want to take this seriously or not?
To a certain degree, with mortgage holidays etc they have.
Think youâre right. If youâre on twitter follow Martin Lewis.
I already do, just trying to stick away from Twitter and the news in general, none of this is particularly good for mental health.
