When the right talk about “going back to normal”, they mean low-paid workers going back to service jobs where they can’t social distance and middle class people continuing to work from home but with an expanded range of leisure activities.
If you feel pressure to go into an unsafe working environment, you have options. Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act gives you the right to walk away.
And join a bloody union - there's never been a better time!
We may be trapped inside, but there is still so much we can do to support each other and help the most vulnerable in our communities

Giving PAYE workers 80% of their income, then asking self employed to live off £92/week is NOT ok
Giving 3 month mortgage holidays to landlords & giving renters 30% off rents ONLY via housing benefit (which many wont qualify for as it's against most renting contracts) IS NOT OK
The government’s 80% wage guarantee is great, if you’re employed. This is a really positive step, and I’m glad to see it happen.
But the protections for the self-employed and those already made redundant are inadequate. The renters policy is woeful. These need fo be fixed ASAP!
The government's measures would leave five million self-employed and gig economy workers with just £94.25 a week sick pay.
This is simply not enough.
Those without a fixed wage must not be left to suffer.
Boris Johnson described gay people as "bumboys", compared equal marriage to three men marrying a dog, discussed beating up a journalist with a criminal, called black people "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles", and was sacked twice for dishonesty.
Where is the scrutiny?
