BBC News: Reports " Nearly a million people have applied for universal credit benefits in the past fortnight as the coronavirus pandemic has worsened. "
Lets Get Real:
The universal credit system was hardly working before the COVID - 19 crisis, how will it cope will a million people wanting support. The Government needs to stress that it is helping employers and workers with cheap loans and benefits, it as stated that it will pay 80% of wages of workers that are kept on, the other 20% should come from the employer. For those self employed it has stated that it will pay up to 2,500 of their profits. The worry for the Government is that companies will let go of their workers and just close shop, because they do not see an EXIT. One can expect the left wing media to bounce on this, they will find workers, who have been left go of and are in a financial mess. The PM is lucky the general election was in December last year, he has five years to build up the confidence of the UK voter. In the PM's latest video message he did not sound well, he should rest more, leave his Cabinet Ministers to deal with the crisis for a few days, better to rest and recover.
