1 million investors lost life savings when the Bradford and Bingley was nationalised yet every other bank was rescued? Why was our bank treated differently?
Sadly a common misconception. #Excludeduk's nowt to do with tax dodge, it incs
Newly self employed
Furlough refusees
Self-emp 1p over threshold (get nowt 1p less £2,500)
1-person ltd cos (many told must be so or no work)
Freelancers paid via PAYE (who cant get furlough)
& more
99% of people arriving in country are not going into hotel quarantine. Evidence from Home Office to @CommonsHomeAffs this am. 15,000 people arriving a day. 150 go to hotels - only 1%. Majority can still go straight onto public transport home without being tested on arrival
@RishiSunak You went big and indeed early (other may say rushed) and consequently lost billions to fraud yet millions of genuine self employed were #ExcludedUK
We went big, we went early, and there’s more support to come. But there’s also a challenge we face as a country and I want to level with people about that challenge.
Read my interview with @FT this weekend: https://t.co/IDir74dvqt
@RishiSunak@FT Even more support to come for many not affected by the pandemic and seeing record business yet #ExcludedUK have recieved nothing so far.
@RishiSunak Yet the importance of supporting vulnerable #ExcludedUK people and businesses in the UK is something you have failed to resolve, discuss or correct over the past year. You have left many people & families with nothing.
❤️ We do love our #ExcludedUK choir, not just for the music (an industry Mr Sunak has sabotaged), not just for the art (an industry Mr Sunak has sabotaged) and not just for the skilled individuals behind it (more sabotaging) but because it's people coming together.

💥Pre Budget Event 24th February 2021 💥
Powerful stories by some of those #ExcludedUK from government support. Eleanor and Matthew both speaking and most certainly viable!

👇 With one week to go until the Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget, over 3M UK taxpayers #ExcludedUK from support for nearly ONE WHOLE YEAR!
The figures don't even tell half the story as it doesn't include their partners, their children, their jobs or their businesses
Shame!
The disparity of @RishiSunak support that has remained unchanged for 1 year despite being aware 3.8m are excluded from financial support. He's continued on with billions lost to fraud & millions given to businesses not affected by the pandemic #ExcludedUK https://t.co/v2p2Fe2eUh
Why the Chancellor MUST include policies to support the 3 million #ExcludedUK in the Budget. I've been interviewed by @MarkCasci for a new @yorkshirepost podcast. Coming soon. @ExcludedUK
@PaulaBarkerMP@ExcludedUK@RishiSunak@RishiSunak your silence on this matter for almost 1 year is an embarrassment to you & the UK Govt. An issue affecting 3.8 million people, leaving many with zero income, a national mental health crisis which has lead to the loss of life. #ExcludedUK
@Cherylbaker the people at @ExcludedUK would love to have your support. 3.8m people still remain excluded from financial help by @RishiSunak yet billions lost to fraud and millions handed to businesses that have not been affected or profited hugely from the pandemic #ExcludedUK
3.8 million people had the backbone to go self employed and they have been rewarded by being excluded from any financial support from @RishiSunak and their existence denied or ignored #ExcludedUK
Each of them knew they were taking a huge risk. Hats off to all of them for having the backbone to do something about the appalling state that their parties and our country were in. There is no disgrace in failure, only in being too chicken to try.
@RishiSunak Do you think your reaction to the pandemic has been a success? 3.8 million people #ExcludedUK from financial support, billions lost to fraud, millions given to people not affected by the pandemic.
Over the next few weeks I'm speaking to industry leaders and experts to hear how they've reacted to the pandemic.
It starts tomorrow with @GordonRamsay who sat down with me to talk about the challenges facing hospitality and how he launched a TV show in lockdown. #PlanForJobs
