    Back on topic.... good to see measures brought in to support the self employed. The reality, sadly, as Sunak has said is that it won't be possible to save every business and every job.

    She has a view and is campaigning for it, breaking no laws and probably never will. We get you don’t like her but all the things you have called her is because you probably couldn’t argue for something like she can.

    I will leave it there to save topic

    All those “cooking the books” and declaring enough to not pay NI and tax will fall foul of the new grant.
    Nothing until June? It’s going to be a long 6 weeks for some. Can see people still working

    Doesn't anybody put something aside for emergencies or does everybody have to spend it as fast as they earn it...?

    Think some recent self employed are probably living hand to mouth to get their business off the ground for example?
    but as you say a lot don’t think further than the next pay check. No rainy day funds any more

    My daughter's dad is one of them that had always fibbed about his self employed income. No doubt he'll now stop the £8 a week maintenance.

    113 uk deaths on the total for today, the largest total in one day. Looks like yesterday’s were an anomaly

    Not possible for everyone unfortunately. A bit of advice I got when younger (from someone who paid knack all for his house and could afford it with a very normal job and without his wife working) was to always have 3 months worth of wages tucked away for just in case. Never managed it in my life. Never been anywhere near able to manage that and I've got an excellent salary.

    The world is an expensive place for my generation.

    I'm pretty sure no-one actually means they want to slap her, its a turn of phrase. The problem with her is it may have started from a place where she thought was good faith but she has ended up becoming an attention seeker that's causing undue worry to kids. She won't listen to anyone but the crackpot element of the scientific community and pushes this idea that the world will end in 10 years. And she doesn't even provide any practical help, everything she does is PR (and usually has mass hypocrisy behind it) and by not going to school and encouraging others to not she is damaging both her and others ability to make a difference

    You make her sound like a leader of religion. They all seem to do ok and get nothing of the backlash she seems to generate on twitter, from a lot of the time, weird middle aged men

    Many will have savings but savings are for children and their future.

    Investment is a different question.

    I'm self employed

    I have to pay 3 peoples wages for over a month before I can get it back

    I can get 80% of my wage back up to £2500 but cant access it for over 2 months

    It's going to be a real struggle cos I'm owed money but no ones paying up

    She is as she is listening only to the extreme minority in the scientific community who put global warming solely at the hand of humans. Any legit scientist will tell you the earth goes through cycles. We have had 5 ice ages and mass extinctions due to these cycles . Yes humans do make it worse but going back to being cavemen and we wouldn't stop global warming. And countries like ours who are at pre-industrial revolution levels of carbon production shouldn't be the ones being being lectured to by her

    Here we go...here's is the daily blue nose.

    So what about them that have just started their business?
    What about them that need money before June?

    Oh and all them that claim it have been warned that their tax will be going through the roof.

    It's a joke!
