Logged out of Twitter 12th May, frustrated and hopeless that #newstarterjustice would never come to fruition. Sad to see the same people, plus thousands of others still campaigning and being ignored by @RishiSunak.
#newstarterfurlough
So the people Who aren’t furloughed who missed out by three days who can’t work from home or use public transport.... left with zero income for more months @RishiSunak@BorisJohnson#newstarterjustice
For taking a new role when we can provide substantial evidence that we had employment. I paid tax in March and now left with zero support how am I expected to live? Your leaving people vulnerable and shutdown/ignore the questions we aren’t being treated equally. 2/2
@RishiSunak just watched you say claim universal credit for #newstarterfurlough but the issue is what if you aren’t eligible or only eligible for £300 yet you would be in job that would be giving you £1,500 you’re expecting us to take huge pay cuts 1/2
I hope we all remember our current emotions for the next election.
29k deaths, slow to react, lack of leadership, flawed support for individuals and businesses.
Unprecedented times, new to us all, but surely better ways to handle every situation.

Another great article about our campaign, and how it’s a “lottery” who is eligible for furlough and who falls through the cracks like we do. #NewStarterJustice#NewStarterFurlough

@GarethThomasMP Can you imagine you worked so hard to secure a new job to better yourself and raise family. But due to the loophole of govt scheme, you lost your hard-earned job overnight and was left with zero income. This is #newstarterjustice
Will you help them? https://t.co/0gBHnHU1bL
The issue is @BorisJohnson@RishiSunak cant find funding for anyone yet they’ve rewarded all MPs with an extra £10,000 x 650 on top of a salary. Meanwhile families go hungry and can’t pay bills as they aren’t eligible for furlough or “benefits” #newstarterfurlough
Apply for Universal Credit they said.

I started work 16th March, didn’t make my employers cut off for payroll, so my pay from 16th March - 4th April was sent in April. So backdated pay means no UC.
