Daily: PAYE Up For Freelancers, Sunak

<p>When Chancellor Rishi Sunak doled out taxpayers’ money on free Wagamamas, he failed more than 3 million people who have received no financial support from the Government whatsoever. Broadcaster turned campaigner <strong>Ellie Phillips</strong> tells Naomi Smith about the plight of PAYE freelancers who are ineligible for furlough, and the work she’s doing with campaign group <a href="https://www.forgottenpaye.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forgotten PAYE</a> who want parity for the self employed.</p><ul><li>“This goes through every single profession in the country.”</li><li>“Nearly 2.5 million have fallen through the gaps in income support.”</li><li>“The Government talks about levelling-up, but this is the ultimate levelling-down”</li><li>“Sunak is pushing people into poverty and punishing those who create jobs… it just makes no sense.”</li></ul><p><em>Presented by Naomi Smith.
