@RishiSunak The furlough scheme is a nonsensical mistake. An absolute failure, you're the villain in this story. Helping the greedy frauds & abandoning the deserving needy, it's all the wrong way around #newstarterjustice#ExcludedUK https://t.co/BVBTgjPRCY
Not only has the gov abandoned us, making us extremely anxious n stressful not being able to pay rent/bills, when I finally successfully applied for Universal Credit, my partner started making backhanded comments for receiving benefits. I've simply started job 2days too late
It's been over 2 months I've been made redundant due to employee not being able to put me on the CJRS even though I've started the new job on 2/3. It's been the most difficult time of my life, words can't describe how disappointed I feel towards the gov for abandoning us.
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
#borisjohnsonmustgo and tell @RishiSunak that it is vital that he amends the CJRS furlough scheme to include the 1.6m+ new start Employees who have been abandoned with nothing for changing jobs before lockdown. It’s forcing 100,000’s into unemployment. #newstarterjustice
Here’s the thing @RishiSunak I signed contract on 24th February to start 30th March. I’d need to be some fraud to foresee a pandemic, lockdown and scheme BEFORE it was even announced 🤷🏻♀️ #newstarterjustice
@RishiSunak@HanMitchell So, you’re protecting ‘the taxpayers’ from fraudulent applications for Employees starting in March, by denying a taxpayer who, wait for it, paid tax in March. You are a genius. Your refusal to put the critical safety of millions above your pride is criminal. #newstarterjustice
So Chancellor thinks there is only 90k new starters missing furlough. Wrong. There is 1million missing it. Do the right thing and move RTI date to April. #newstarterjustice@RishiSunak
Its Monday and still don't like them. And still missing furlough. Move the RTI date to 31st Mar or I can forward my offer of new employment which is 10th of Feb to HMRC, shows I am no fraudster. #newstarterjustice@RishiSunak@BorisJohnson@BBCNews@Channel4News
Universal Credit isn’t an option for new starters left out of the Job Retention Scheme. 83% of new starters are eligible for £0. @RishiSunak says this is what we must rely on, but how can anyone pay bills with no money? #NewStarterJustice#UniversalNothing

Most reporting I've done in recent times has been data driven but today's report on the #CoronavirusJobRetentionScheme#furlough shows how some missing* data on new job starters/seasonal workers has affected thousands of people's lives https://t.co/1utaGCNAL4
#NewStarterJustice has been on an emotional rollercoaster since the #CJRS was announced. We keep thinking each next turn will include us, but so far we have always been disappointed. When will @RishiSunak let us disembark and get support? #RideTheEmotion

Today I raised @NewStarterJust's campaign with Chancellor @RishiSunak. It's a disgrace hard-working people are not getting help just because they were due to start a new job after Feb 28. I told him he's thrown people under a bus, he tells me it's defensible. #newstarterjustice
@RishiSunak You need to start listening to us now Rishi. We’ve had nearly two months of no pay - we now face two more. How can we be expected to survive when 83% of people can’t get Universal Credit? #StayAlertForNewStarters#NewStarterJustice
After the announcement from @BorisJohnson last night, it seems the new starters will be seeing at least two more months with no income. UC does not support us, but the bills will still be there. We are still here. Don’t forget us. #StayAlertForNewStarters#NewStarterJustice
