• Compensation pay for key workers working through the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Essential workers who are unable work from home have been subject to a significant increase in risk to their health, wellbeing and stress levels, as well as the increased risk of viral transmission to vulnerable and elderly family members. In addition to the aforementioned, many have experienced additional complexity of tasks and working practices, with no change to their pay or improvement of their working conditions. Essential workers who have kept services open and operating should be compensated for their roles throughout the pandemic at an enhanced rate of pay , or holidays in lue, at a percentage of hours worked throughout the pandemic and lockdown periods.

  • Delay IR35
    Covid 19 has destroyed businesses and made an unprecedented amount of people unemployed. With Brexit and changes to EU employment on the horizon, IR35 will destroy ability to engage short term resource and force that work force into the permanent employment market creating a surplus of people looking for work in an already saturated market. This legislation will create added pressure to the job market and see levels of unemployment reach all time highs.

  • Spend 16 BILLION on social housing!
    I agree with the additional funds given over 4 years to our armed forces, it will generate much new technology, employ more staff, and, rightly or wrongly, increase our market share as an arms exporter. HOWEVER, just, if not more vital, is the same amount of money given to begin the largest social housing project yet seen in the UK. The number of people it will remove from the unemployment figures into paid work will be astonishing, from builders to the carpet fitters and much more beyond.

Many go and see the elderly in their homes , give massages give facials and do nails which a lot of elderly people cannot manage themselves. Hairdressers are the same .Will the Government HELP financially this time ????

  • Fair support for the self employed
    With another national lockdown about to begin, once again the self employed are being unfairly treated. Through the SEISS scheme, the self employed have already missed out on 2 months worth of support. Payment 1 was for ‘3 months to May’ so March, April, May. Therefore the second payment is for June, July, August. But now, the third payment is for November, December, January and the fourth is for February, March and April. What happened to September and October?? Please account for the missing months. Now we are heading into a second lockdown where 80% furlough is extended but the self employed are expected to survive a second lockdown on 40% support (with no support at all for the last 2 months). Please review this and make it fair.

  • Reduce retirement age
    This allows for the flow of staff, with the current ages then no one will retire and the death in service figures will increase. It will also allow for vacancies to open up for school leavers and graduates so as to enable them to have spending power to get on the property market and buy goods which will also help the economy.
