They also want more support for the self-employed.

The money is there, or at least should be.

I thought Sir Patrick Valence answered a question about the lockdown advice very well yesterday. Basically my understanding is that he said they had recommended that but knew it needed to be balanced with other things that need to be taken into account.

Lots of people speaking about the Govt paying those kind of figures (which is clearly wrong) but few seem to be criticising those demanding it and taking it.

Opportunist at best.
