Back to the COVID-19 issue and, on Budget Day, good to see the SNP's Ian Blackford challenging Johnson on setting a proper statutory sick pay amount after comparing the UK's meagre ninety-six quid pw with various Euro countries that are far more reasonable and generous (many well over £200 pw) but this is nothing new with the Tories and how they regard these kinda sickness probs (or self-isolation) for the plebs (in their "we are better than thou" eyes) "on the street".
Just listening to the usual "bluff n bluster" political bullshit/cheap talk from the optimistic Sunak, the apprentice Chancellor of the Exchequer - radio duly switched off!!
Note: statutory sick pay and his so called "benefits" to the gig economy and self-employed - UNCHANGED AND MEAGRE COMPARED WITH OTHER EURO COUNTRIES and a generous loan scheme to affected businesses - scrutinise the detail very closely!!
