@JJHTweets According to my local supermarket the reason there are a few gaps on their shelves is not an issue of short supply - they have stock in their warehouses.... but more to do with the ping-demic as they are short of staff to distribute/drive delivery vans and stock up the shelves.
MPs of the @APPGGapsSupport, led by @Jamie4North, have worked with @seeleyharris to rebut @RishiSunak's recent statements. Thank you to all those who put their names to this rebuttal - let's get the #DISS and #TIGS moving forward to help all those who still need support.
@Annemariealex@ExcludedUK Thank you Anne I was one of the over 1000 who wrote to OFCOM to complain that Rishi Sunak had told an untruth(= lie) on GMB . To see it reported in The Sun in the way it was makes me angry ( The Sun often does) How can this be redressed ?
Those excluded by the Government's COVID-19 financial support plans are experiencing deep anguish and mental ill-health during this pandemic. I will continue to work alongside UK mayors and @ExcludedUK to ensure their voices are heard.
.@MaryRobinson01 Heartbreaking. How can this be allowed to happen. I am 59 years old and have voted conservative every year of my adult life. Feeling disillusioned, disappointed, in disbelief πͺ #ExcludedUK#ForgottenLtd
"Eight people in ten days" have taken their own lives due to lack of government support, says the SNP's Ian Blackford, "these people need help"
"We're investing massively in mental health support across the country," replies Boris Johnson
#PMQs https://t.co/1bBHPreFar
.@MaryRobinson01 momentum is growing, from MPs across all parties, members of the press and metro mayers including our own @AndyBurnhamGM joining forces to put pressure on @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak to do the only decent thing. #excludeduk#ForgottenLtd
3 million people have been left behind by this Gov for over 9 months. When faced with the shocking facts of their plight @BorisJohnson still won't relent. #ExcludedUK needed support months ago, for some it's too late, but the PM can still act to save others. #PMQs@ExcludedUK.
@RishiSunak avoids being on a radio or tv show or attending a cross party meeting where he can be directly challenged by representatives of #ExcludedUK or #ForgottenLtd. Instead he uses any platform to further his propoganda and mislead the public. #Propaganda#discrimination
What a lie. You've never spoken to us. @RishiSunak you should be ashamed of yourself for a) making something up that's a complete fallacy & b) your repeated outright refusal to acknowledge 3m #excludedUK. Maybe check HMRC, ONS, BEIS stats & National Audit Office b4 spouting lies?
Great to have @EmmaLewellBuck supporting the #ExcludedUK and #forgottenLtd. The questioning was spot on - informed and accurate. Shame the reply from @RishiSunak was neither of these. Anybody who knows anything about universal credit knows his answer just doest hold up.
Today I challenged the Chancellor on his disgraceful treatment of the 3 million @ExcludedUK@ForgottenLtd. His response showed a total lack of understanding or empathy. #UC is a 5 week wait and not all 3 million are eligible. #SpendingReview
Uk @hmtreasury stated that support scheme for directors would be impossible. Taking on the challenge #forgottenltd with help from industry leaders and top accountants have developed the #DISS using info already available to @HMRCgovuk@itvnews
https://t.co/5h8Gdozswd
Pressure group #forgottnltd has written to @hmtreasury providing a solution to the exclusion so far of 2 million small business owners from support. It shows that #DISS could be set up using information already available to @JimHarraHMRC@SkyNews
https://t.co/1ksYtqucjG
.@MaryRobinson01 Many of your constituents are affected by this. Please can I ask you to join the growing number of MP's across all parties, speaking out about the injustice and discrimination against all those #excludeduk and #ForgottenLtd
Many #forgottenltd companies up & down the country & huge numbers of comp directors are on the brink say @bluecollartory_. If companies close, not just the directors will lose their job, but all their staff too. @hmtreasury@BBCNews#supportpackage

3m people face financial crisis as they canβt access gov help. β mental health pandemic predicted as people struggle to survive for 8 months with no money.
A #supportpackage is needed, and fast! #mentalhealth@Jesse_Norman@MelJStride@BorisJohnson https://t.co/yPrYFZ1qAx
Can someone explain to @BorisJohnson what the hell is going on. Let me break it down. We canβt feed our families, we are losing our businesses, jobs, forced to mental health despair & many now ending their lives. May I remind you we are tax payers! @AndyBurnhamGM@alisonthewliss
Imagine being forced to stop work by the Govt & not being able to resume your job for over 9 months due to social distancing restrictions? BUT unlike the majority of your self-employed friends, you were given NO financial support (inc universal credit). NONE.
This is #ExcludedUK
