@MartinSLewis@RishiSunak I'm also on the list. Self employed tour guide, earned average £52k. Colleagues earning £2k less got help but I didn't. Plus with 14 day quarantine, incoming tourism is dead in the water. Not expecting to work until 2021, but have to survive.
Dear @RishiSunak,
On Sunday on Marr you said you 'quibbled' with my number of 3m #ExcludedUK financially impacted by Covid missing out on the main support schemes?
I agree an accurate number is needed. Will the Treasury then pls research exactly how many are missing out?
We are trending no 1 and 2 in England. I need everyone’s help to keep this noise going as I head to training but before I go, to ALL MPs in Parliament, this is not about politics. The same way us players put rivalry aside when we put the England shirt on, please #maketheuturn
The Treasury Committee has asked for parity in income support for:
• Those newly in employment or newly self-employed
• Those self-employed with annual trading profits in excess of £50,000
• Directors of limited companies
• Freelancers and those on short-term contracts
@RishiSunak Jog on Rishi and instead focus trying to help the millions of new starters / newly self employed / limited company directors that have received little to no help from you.
I would like to hear of one hardship that our MP’s have faced in all of this. In this together? It’s like having the control tower telling people on a plane that’s crashing we are all in this together. No we aren’t. Stop smugly pretending you care. #newstarterjustice
@mrchrisjohn I saw a news story that HMRC will be "investigating" and those who have claimed cash not spent on the business will have 100% tax.
Also was not aware a car cost that much!
Dear Rishi
Imagine you were forced to stop working, but were unable claim financial support (unlike your peers). After 12 weeks you’d spent your savings & could no longer support your family.
What would you say to Rishi Sunak?
#AskRishi@RishiSunak#ExcludedUK#ForgottenLtd
Boris johnson and @RishiSunak can find money to fund there monthly 7k+ a month wages paid by the tax man m, but can’t find money to fund
universal credit equally, no money for #ExcludedUK no money for free school meals, no money for PPE, no money for #newstarterfurlough
while @RishiSunak hasn’t helped your family or business he’s using tax payers money to give himself a huge salary pod by the tax payer of over 7k a month all the while he gives businesses debt and loans and those on universal credit £20 extra #ExcludedUK#universalcredit
@CommonsTreasury So how do you make @RishiSunak listen to your recommendations? And furthermore, do something to address the issues? This is not new news. We’ve been living this nightmare for months. #newstarterjustice#ExcludedUK
Why are we treated differently?? Through no fault of our own we are not supported by the govt, how does a family of four live off no money, never asked for a penny in my life, or needed it, why are we not helped ???
How’s your tax payers funded 7k + a month salary going? What’s that you’ve saddeled businesses with debt and loans and given £20 pounds extra to those on universal credit. Can we have our tax payers 7k a month back if you don’t want to be fair or equal? @RishiSunak ? #ExcludedUK
@StephenFarryMP @hmtreasury@BorisJohnson Why have we been treated differently... isnt there a word for people being treated differently...?? Our families need a roof over their heads and food on the table like everyone else #50kcliffedge#newlyselfemployed#ForgottenLtd zero support from govt, no fault of our own
SO TRUE
It’s the equivalent of this:
“Hello Mrs Jones, I’m afraid I’m not going to treat your life threatening condition because you’re simply too complex to bother with. However, let me tell you about all the other patients I’ve saved!”
#ExcludedUK
Huge thanks to @BBCNews for having us. “Here at @excludeduk we’re not just about the businesses, we’re about the people behind them, the people, the families, the livelihoods that have been lost” 🙏 #GapsInSupport#excludedUK
