Please it’s a very serious question, are there any chances that government will help private hire, taxi driver or you can say all self employed, as I am a private hire driver driving for Uber for almost 5 years and now sitting at home with fever and body pain and constant thinking how going to pay bills and rent

Every self employed is waiting for answers

Today the chancellor has an announcement for us. Possibly something based on previous returns. I only went SE in Nov so hope they include newbies too

If its based on previous returns all the billy liars are going to feel gutted and wishing that they hadn't lied on them.

No sympathy. Paid every penny since 18 duly owed. Praying I don't get mugged off when I need them for the first time in my life

Have you contacted UBER to see how they are going to help you?

Anyone with a fully functioning brain know that you are on your own and just an insignificant piece of dust in their machine. They know drivers are going to work even if sick, so as long as those 25% keep rolling in, their "workforce" will get jack sh1t and come running back when this blows over

AKA collateral damage.

It is quite laughable to me that Uber offers up to 100£ a week for 14 days. Anyone knows if self isolation note covers the eligibility of AXA off trip?

They have stated that they have cash in reserves to get through this ,at very minimum the cash in the clean air fund should be returned to London drivers

You lot should be grateful that ubers got this deal for you. Local office won’t have anything like this.

I expect nothing from any of the apps. I've worked in PH for 12 years, from controller to management and one thing I learned quickly is that drivers always get shafted when it comes to money

Every self employed person should have insurance to cover this .

I've heard they might be offering some king of loan similar to what they are offering for business which you still have to pay back.
Any pco driver expecting to get what they make in week is dreaming,imagine how much bojo will be paying with the taxi trade together.
Not going to happen..
Anyway,you should be concentrating on your hearth for now ,good luck.

Imagine coming out of this in debt to the government. Doubt that'll be one you can knock when you're trying to go bankrupt

Brilliant, I pay mine, glad to.

I don't think we'll get anything to be honest.
Be nice though.
Paid for doing nothing.
