Here's what I don't understand & if someone can explain it to me I'll happily listen. Let's use me and say the fella across the road as examples. Let's call him Steve. I have always worked, always paid tax. So has Steve. Let's imagine (just to make the maths easy) we both

take home £1000 a month and just for arguments sake let's say I have a small amount of savings, towards a holiday. So does Steve. At the beginning of March I had an interview for a new job and was offered the job. Steve didn't. He chose to stay in the same job. On 22/3

I left my old job and looked forward to starting my new job on 30/3. Steve carried on going to work as normal. On 23/3 Boris told us not to go to work anymore. Steve's employers put him on furlough. Steve is receiving 80% of his wages, £800. I couldn't be furloughed because

of the enormous flaws in the JRS. I've been advised to claim UC but here's the thing - Universal credit awards depend on whether you have any savings. Steve's furlough pay doesn't. (btw I don't know if I'll get UC yet because it takes a month to find out). If my claim

is sucessful I may get £400 a month, that's half of what Steve is getting. Steve thinks if I don't any UC at all it will be because I have savings and I should use those to live off. Why Steve? Why are you and I being treated differently? The only difference in our

circumstances is that I got a new job. Help me out people, explain to me how this is fair #newstarterjustice @RishiSunak @AnnelieseDodds @toryboypierce @tom_belger @MartinSLewis @piersmorgan @JeremyVineOn5
