Matt Hancock told the Commons that no one will be penalised for ‘doing the right thing’. But looking at statutory sick pay for those in self-isolation, it seems like a punishment to me

And so, Britain’s actual workers, as opposed to its typists, find themselves at the sharp end of an epidemic the rest of us get to quietly avoid. A cleaner rarely gets paid when their clients take a holiday, never mind if they do. A self-isolating one, doing the decent thing, can expect to earn precisely zero.Matt Hancock“No one will be penalised for doing the right thing,” Hancock said, looking up at the back benches as he did so.

Really. Must be a bad news day.

I say we carry on as normal, if you have health issues, then take extra care.

Of course the government isn’t on their side! It’s the tories, who view the working class as a resource to be taxed, not to be helped under any circumstances.

Why would this government ever be on the side of the workers? 😂 I think the UK was quite clear what they wanted at the polls. And looking after the working class was most certainly, not the one 🤪

Neither teachers nor students....

That's why I don't work hard. I'm smart that way. It's a natural ability.

lol- this g'ment on the side of workers? lol
