"Listen to your constituents."
Good advice, @AndyBurnham. But what about the 3.8 million taxpayers whose voices have been ignored for over six years?
Will you listen to us again?
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
What unites us? A shared injustice. A determination to be heard. A refusal to give up.
You stood alongside us, @AndyBurnham. Will you stand alongside us again?
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
42,222 double decker buses. That’s how many UK taxpayers were excluded from Covid support by Rishi Sunak. 3.8 million people left behind. @AndyBurnham#ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless https://t.co/BWCK7U4jbe
@JohnHealey_MP says business founders who take risks and create wealth deserve recognition. The excluded contributed, paid taxes and created jobs. When will their lost earnings and sacrifice be recognised? #ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless
“I know starting a company means taking a risk,” said @JohnHealey_MP on 28 October. The excluded accepted normal business risk. They did not consent to being abandoned by Government in a national emergency. #ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless
@JohnHealey_MP spoke of “backing the enterprise of British business”. The excluded included directors, freelancers, the newly self-employed and small firms. Backing enterprise must include righting the wrong done to them. #ExcludedUK#Relentless
@JohnHealey_MP says he is a Chancellor who “champions the small British firms” in our communities. Many such firms were devastated after being excluded from Covid support. Champion them now by addressing that injustice. #ExcludedUK#Relentless
On 28 October, @JohnHealey_MP called his Budget one “for the working people of Britain”. The excluded were working people too. Why did his Budget offer them no acknowledgement, apology or redress? #ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless
You said our voices weren't being heard, @AndyBurnham.
Six years later, we're STILL shouting to be heard.
You once amplified our voices. Please don't let them fall silent now.
#ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway
We worked hard. Paid our taxes. Played by the rules.
Yet when the pandemic struck, we were abandoned.
You recognised these hardworking taxpayers, @AndyBurnham. Will you stand up for them NOW?
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
Different backgrounds. Every corner of the UK. One devastating injustice.
You recognised the scale of Covid exclusion, @AndyBurnham.
3.8 million taxpayers are still waiting for fairness.
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
Recent headlines ask whether @andyburnham’s move towards social media risks less scrutiny. We have a question he can answer directly: when will he meet ExcludedUK and honour his promises to the 3.8 million? #ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless
The Colosseum, 64 times over. That’s how many UK taxpayers were excluded from Covid support by Rishi Sunak. 3.8 million people left behind. @AndyBurnham#ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless https://t.co/BWCK7U4jbe
Wembley Stadium, 42 times over. That’s how many UK taxpayers were excluded from Covid support by Rishi Sunak. 3.8 million people left behind. @AndyBurnham#ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless https://t.co/BWCK7U3LlG
"Just ignored."
That's exactly how excluded taxpayers still feel, @AndyBurnham.
You gave them a voice and promised support. Now even our emails go unanswered.
Please don't become part of the silence.
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
You recognised the mental health crisis caused by Covid exclusion, @AndyBurnham.
Families have lost loved ones. Others still live with devastating trauma.
How much suffering before justice?
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
You spoke of the brutality of the British state, @AndyBurnham.
For excluded taxpayers, that brutality meant lost homes, businesses and lives.
They need justice, not sympathy alone.
#ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway
"Barely believable, actually."
What's even harder to believe, @AndyBurnham, is that six years later, 3.8 million excluded taxpayers STILL have no financial remedy or apology.
#ExcludedUK#Relentless
Warm words are not enough. @andyburnham once called the treatment of the excluded “indefensible” and said the injustice must be rectified. Prime Minister, when will your Government meet ExcludedUK and act? #ExcludedUK#WeAreNotGoingAway#Relentless
