For me gig work is side income. I do uber and make $25/hr. Closer to $17/hr. once I pay for gas. But I am on the luck side because I get tipped well.

That's great but the UK isn't the US. However I do hear of people doing it here, just to be able to pay their mortgage
How much after you depreciate the value of your car? <$15/hr?
Don’t forget taxes! <$12/hr

And If they’re earning so little that taxes do not apply, chances are OUR tax money is instead funding things to help them get by so that gig companies can skirt labor laws.

That's curious! Do you know why you get tipped well?
