A charity has lost a High Court challenge against the government after claiming its coronavirus financial support scheme sexually discriminated against self-employed mothers.  Pregnant Then Screwed brought legal action against the Treasury over its Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, arguing the way it was calculated left tens of thousands of women who had maternity leave with less money than others. The programme was introduced last year to help self-employed workers affected by the pandemic, but because payments are assessed based on average monthly profits over the previous three tax years, campaigners claimed it was discriminatory and breached equality laws.  The case was brought by the charity, founded by Joeli Brearley, under its official name, The Motherhood Plan, and also by Kerry Chamberlain, a self-employed energy analyst with three young children, whose income was significantly reduced in recent years as a result of maternity leave.
