Today I cried as 2 people shared on @ExcludedUK that they are SUICIDAL.
3 x long months of exclusion from gov support has taken its toll. People are disillusioned & desperate.
@RishiSunak YOU can throw these people a lifeline. Please ACT NOW before it’s too late... #ExcludedUK
We now know thankfully furlough's helped 8.9m people alone. Yet 3m are #excluded from support schemes. Here's some of the things they may've done 'wrong'
-Changed jobs
-Started biz in last 18mths+
-Been freelance
-Ltd co directors
-Worked for agency
-Had employer who didn't care
@MartinSLewis Fantastic! And a significant move - please help the 3 million taxpaying self-employed 🙏 it's nearly 3 months with no work and no income, and PAYE freelancers are taxed at source, so it's not difficult to work out how much we've earned #ForgottenPAYE
Yet again @10downingStreet turned down MSE & I asking a question of the Chancellor (no idea why).
Here’s what I would’ve asked the Chancellor had I been allowed.
'It is better to be both right and consistent. But if you have to choose- you must choose to be right. '

‘It’s not like he was visiting a lover.’

Important: around 20% of people don't return their postal vote. If you have missed the deadline or just forgotten, don’t worry. You can still complete the form & take it (in the envelope supplied) to the polling station by 10pm tonight. Your vote will still count. #GE2019
