@AndyBurnhamGM Andy. Have you spoken with any of the 3.8 million #ExcludedUK taxpayers in #makerfield#Wigan yet? As you said just before the GE, this is a major injustice that needs to be put back into the public eye and financial redress to be delivered.

@Keir_Starmer So many #ExcludedUK are left awake at night terrified about the day's ahead. As their MH deteriorates after years of neglect you need to find compassion and meet @APPGGapsSupport, otherwise it will cost the @UKLabour Party dearly in May

@BROKENBRITAIN0@AndyBurnhamGM: The #ExcludedUK are still being ignored as Starmer & Murray refuse to meet @APPGGapsSupport. In 3 days, the ballot box will speak. With it being reported that you’re preparing a challenge: will you act where they have failed?

continues then expect to pay the price on May 7th.

@topcat_terry@dailybritainonx@UKLabour@AndyBurnhamGM As one of the hardest hit industries throughout the pandemic, of whom we were forced to stop earning a living topcat, myself and another 350, 000+ "PAYE" freelancers would very much like to know how we #ExcludedUK ourselves from a penny of support??

One of the very few good things to come out of the discrimination of 3.8 million #Excluded UK taxpayers by the UK Government is meeting phenomenal people like Tim Pravda @ExcludedFighter the voice of those left for dead by Westminster. For 6 solid years Tim has been consistently fighting for redress for those who were left penniless and exhausted. #relentless

@ZackPolanski Your words totally resonate with us Zack, and with the #ExcludedUK in every UK constituency, politicians must recognize that many are enduring dire-hardship
They are watching closely to decide who will assist them before the UK wide elections next month.

Today marks six years since the UK went into full lockdown.
Six years on, most people want to believe the pandemic is long over.
For thousands of excluded people, it is not over at all.
They are still paying the price every single day.
While 90% of the population received Covid support that did not have to be repaid, many excluded taxpayers were forced to survive by taking on Bounce Back Loans, maxing out overdrafts and running up credit card debt just to eat, keep their homes and try to save their businesses.
That was not support. That was state-backed abandonment.
Six years later, people are still trapped in debt from a national emergency they did not cause. Still losing businesses. Still losing homes. Still living with the mental and financial devastation of being shut out and left behind.
They did everything this country asked of them.
They worked hard. Paid taxes. Built businesses. Contributed for years.
And when the country closed, they were denied meaningful help and told to borrow instead.
The lockdown ended. The injustice did not.
This is why ExcludedUK, together with the Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG, is still fighting for justice, because this is not a historic wrong that can be quietly forgotten. It is a live scandal that is still destroying lives now.
Six years on, the debt remains. The damage remains. The fight remains. 3.8 Million UK taxpayers were excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support, yet they were told they could not work or open their businesses. That is 10% of the UK workforce…equivalent to the population of Wales! Also, there were only an average of 500,000 job vacancies during the pandemic, (source data from the ONS), so what were the other 3.3 Million of us supposed to do?!?!
Please ask your MP to join our ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG’ by either sending us a DM on here, or emailing [email protected] All officer positions have been taken, but they are invited to be an ordinary member. We look forward to hearing from your MP to let us know they would like to be added to the register.
DID YOU GET LITTLE OR NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT DURING COVID?
Were you excluded from fair and equal Covid-19 financial support?
If so, join some of the other 3.8 million UK taxpayers who were, as we campaign for this scandal to be put right.. https://t.co/1GoANVaqj9
Dutifully paid in, deliberately left out!
Lives & livelihoods ruined!
37+ suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides!
