Nothing has been decided about what will happen after April in relation to when or how the MIF will be re-implemented.

it has to be delayed again because so many businesses are struggling 

It would be impossible to predict what will happen after April.

Not true

Where the MIF is concerned then we can't predict anything. No one knows what will happen after April, as has already been advised.

April may see furlough end which means new Great Depression unemployment numbers 

so no I can’t see them bringing back MIF

In your opinion maybe. You don’t have a crystal ball. 

If you disagree please tell your reasons

I’m not disagreeing. I’m stating fact. 

Fact 1 you can’t predict the future. 

Fact 2 you do not have a crystal ball.

I’m stating a fact as well that you seem to disagree with

if furlough is not extended again in April then we will see very very high unemployment and it would be extremely stupid of government to bring back the MIF

It's only a temporary measure as part of coronavirus easements and if furlough isn't extended, the removal of the MIF won't be, as both are part of the same/similar legislation.

Your logic is totally flawed.

The suspension of the MIF is part of the support package for self employed people, like the SEISS grant scheme and the furlough scheme for those in employment. They will likely all end at the same time, when the Chancellor decides that support is no longer required. It would make no sense to end the furlough support for employed workers but carry on supporting the self employed, or vice versa.

Anyway, as stated elsewhere, we have no way of knowing but will no doubt find out in April what will happen.

The ‘Great Depression’ comment gave it away.
