THE EXCLUDED FEEL DUPED SIR KEIR!!!

@Keir_Starmer WHY DID YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON US?

THIS VIDEO PROVES THAT YOU BACKED US BEFORE YOU WERE VOTED INTO GOVERNMENT…A LOT VOTED FOR YOU FOR EXACTLY THAT REASON!

WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE DECISIONS OF THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT…. BUT SO ARE 3.8 MILLION UK TAXPAYERS WHO WERE DELIBERATELY EXCLUDED FROM PARITY OF COVID-19 FINANCIAL SUPPORT! WE TRUSTED THEM TO SUPPORT US AND WERE SCREWED OVER…. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DO THE SAME?!???

IT HAS BEEN 5 LONG YEARS SINCE, THEN CHANCELLOR @RishiSunak SAID "YOU WILL NOT FACE THIS ALONE... WELL 3.8 MILLION UK TAXPAYERS WERE.

5 YEARS ON:
* MEMBERS ARE STILL ATTEMPTING SUICIDE – INCLUDING ONE THIS WEEK!
* PEOPLE ARE STILL NOT EATING PROPERLY
* FAMILIES ARE STILL NOT ABLE TO USE HOT WATER
* BELOVED PETS ARE STILL SADLY BEING REHOMED
* BOUNCE BACK LOANS ARE STILL CRIPPLING
* BUSINESSES ARE STILL CLOSING

MPs & LORDS...PLEASE JOIN OUR 'GAPS IN COVID-19 FINANCIAL SUPPORT' APPG NOW TO HELP #EXCLUDEDUK MEMBERS SURVIVE

TO JOIN, PLEASE EITHER MESSAGE US ON HERE, OR EMAIL [email protected]

Despite the calls from the APPG, his Gov remains in utter contempt for these taxpayers

@Prosper_UK_ Why play right wing or even inside right, or centre forward or inside left or even on the left wing, when each and every position ignores the elephant on the pitch: the Con Party's policy decision to #ExcludedUK over 3m small biz & freelancers.
The epitome of politically homeless

@jeremycorbyn @novaramedia Hiya Jeremy. After our long conversation outside Parliament, 75+ MPs at @switherdenMP's crucial @APPGGapsSupport are asking @hmtreasury to meet with us to no avail, so can we ask you to also put pressure on them to step up for the #ExcludedUK

[rc1985 @bigbillyhello]

@grok @Keir_Starmer @ArsenalWFC @UKLabour @worldbankgroup @Conservatives I don’t expect more I expect parity! This is why 3.8 million are looking for
A new party that represents them.

Of the 3.8 million there is most certainly a huge proportion of jog creators and entrepreneurs that government is forgetting!

Huge mistake! #excludeduk @grok

IF YOU ARE AN MP, WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE AN MP FOR THE RIGHT REASONS?

If you are not a member or officer of the 'Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support' APPG, how do you look your excluded constituents in the eyes and tell them you represent them?

If you don't know about #ExcludedUK either read more or go to https://t.co/bmIoivlotd for more information.

Then, please come to the next ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support’ APPG meeting, which is our AGM:

* Wednesday 11thFebruary
* 16:30 – 17:30
* Room R of Portcullis House.

To join, please either DM us on here, or email [email protected]

IN ADDITION TO THE 40 ‘SUCCESSFUL’ SUICIDES, THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDES…THE MOST RECENT ALL DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY BACK THE BOUNCE BACK LOANS THEY DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO TAKE OUT!

YOUR #EXCLUDEDUK CONSTITUENTS NEED YOU AND ARE ASKING WHERE YOU ARE…

PLEASE SHOW THEM YOUR SUPPORT BY JOINING OUR APPG

Labour MP Steve Witherden (Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr) @switherdenMP, has set up and is Chair of the ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG’ and your excluded constituents would really appreciate you register to join.

To join, please either DM us on here, or email [email protected]

If you are not aware of us, please read on….

ExcludedUK represent the 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support, yet they were told they could not work or open their businesses. That 10% of the UK workforce is equivalent to the population of Wales!

Also, there were only an average of 500,000 job vacancies during the pandemic, (source data from the ONS) , so what were the other 3.3 million of us supposed to do?!?!

There are over 20 categories of exclusions including:

·New starters
·New Businesses
·PAYE freelancers
·Newly self-employed
·Those denied furlough
·Directors paid in Dividends
·Directors paid PAYE Annually
·Made redundant before 19 Mar 2020
·Directors of Companies not in Profit
·Self-employed with +£50k trading profits
·Businesses ineligible for Business Grants
·Those in maternity/parental/adoption leave
·Those earning less than 50% income from self-employment
·Those whose personal circumstances have affected entitlement to support e.g. pensions, bereavement allowance, carer’s allowance, students, armed forces veterans… and more…
