The government are treating the North West with contempt. Is it too much to ask that people whose jobs are put at risk by local restrictions get enough support to keep paying the bills and get through the winter?

The Labour Party and Keir Starmer have called a vote in parliament to demand that workers who are furloughed are given 80% of their wages.

Bar staff, taxi drivers, cleaners and other low paid workers can’t survive on two thirds of their wages and are anxious about the future.

Sign this petition to back Burnham and call for the full support people in the North West need to stay afloat.
