What about those on more than 30k? Look at the hit they are taking.
So why isn't our welfare system based on how much your previous job was paying or how much your outgoings are?

It's an about turn in how we view people at risk from redundancy and people don't seem to have noticed.

I'd be interested to know where the 2.5k figure comes from.

Outgoings higher? So it you were lucky enough to have the capital and credit rating to buy a house the government should pay for it for a few months. Most expenses are naturally reduced by the lockdown, arrange a mortgage hol, what happened to 'cutting your cloth accordingly' that used to be preached daily at benefit claimants and the lowest paid.

As for the C word, get a grip. It's the new Godwin's law.
