These are tough times and as I’ve said before, we can’t protect every business and every household. The OBR today have been clear that if we had not taken the actions we have, the situation would be much worse.
In other words, our plan is the right one.
@RishiSunak You've left us with nothing and no way to remedy it. Again I'll ask, what are we to do? Deal with it, rot like the scum that you think we are?

@NicolaSturgeon Wales looking to address the situation, can the Scottish Government get on it too? Thousands left behind, furlough not working for those in new jobs after 28 Feb.

The Chancellor @RishiSunak is impressive in many ways. But it jarred today when he said we can’t protect every individual & every business. We can at least try, surely? All seemed a far cry from the “whatever it takes” rhetoric of a few weeks ago.
Could combating Covid-19 become a dangerous lives v livelihoods, health v wealth battle? Discussing on @GMB in a mo whether the OBR predicting up to 35% of the economy temporarily vanishing with unemployment soaring 2m might undermine lockdown public support
So many people are falling through the cracks.. people who started jobs too recently, the self-employed without a year’s worth of accounts, profits or salary...
@RishiSunak Partner doing more hours, in care, to support me, increase in the risk to her life. Now paying more into a tax system that forces this risk to her life because the JRS scheme exludes me - AND THAT IS PLAIN AND SIMPLY WRONG!!!

I just wanted a good life but I'm apparently a fraud who has paid tax for over 30 years. Claim benefits they said but I'm not able to. But I'll need them when this is all over. So let down. #newstarterfurlough#newstarterprotest#newstarterjustice
@gaiab2020 Similar, my husband started new job 1st March. If you can take taxes from his March salary you can grant him furlough #newstarterfurlough#newstarterprotest
@RishiSunak have you ever gave a thought to new employers who have searched for the right employee and finally found them then to only make them jobless because of this JRS date how must they feel right now! #newstarterfurlough#newstarterjustice
260,000 people change jobs every month on average in the UK. That’s ALOT of people to fall through the cracks. New employers can’t help us, old employers won’t. There’s no more options for us. We need a change to the CJRS #newstarterjustice#newstarterfurlough#newstarterprotest
