@nationalrailenq I don't see anything about the new issue - fuse blown on the switch. Train from Carlisle just passed Lockerbie at Wamphray GP is now stuck. Any news on how long this additional delay will be? #wishwehadgonevianewcastlenow

For all those who are still struggling, fighting & coping, after Covid lockdown financial discrimination, please see @DaviesSteve's post below. Have hope 🙏🏻

After being warned that people are contemplating suicide, are you now happy with yourselves for being responsible for our 38th #ExcludedUK suicide @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @jreynoldsMP @lisanandy?

Time to call them out @AndyBurnhamGM @MetroMayorSteve
https://t.co/0sbof3Bh2X

[ExcludedUK Official @ExcludedUK]

Our PM said "We get it"...but does he? Really?

“We get it,” said Sir Keir Starmer after Labour’s drubbing at the local and mayoral elections. But do you @Keir_Starmer ? Because for years, you haven’t “got it” when it comes to the 3.8 million+ people excluded from Covid financial support.

Families lost homes, were abandoned, left behind without a penny, while others got full furlough. Labour said they were listening—but ExcludedUK heard silence.

If Labour really “gets it”, then show it.

The next Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG meeting is on Wednesday 7th May, 4–5pm, Portcullis House.

MPs & Lords: Be there. Speak up. Stand with the excluded!

For more information, please either DM us on here, or email [email protected]

If you’re an MP or Peer, attend.
If you’re a constituent, ask your representative to go.

Accountability starts with listening. And acting.

#ExcludedUK members are incredulous at how hypocritical you are to pretend you have ANY compassion for war veterans!

You intentionally left thousands of war veterans for dead when you excluded them, as part of the 3.8 million UK taxpayers, left without parity of Covid-19 Financial Support, like the other 90% of the country got! Some got ZERO!! How does anyone live off nothing?

Even when we let you know about the suicides, you ignored us!

You LIED and said you had met with us and then declined to prove it!

Repeatedly we pleaded with you to talk to us to try and help those whose businesses and lives were being decimated… you called us fraudsters… whilst paying out millions to your cronies for useless PPE. How is someone employed, but denied furlough a fraud risk? How is an employed woman returning from Maternity Leave a fraudster? How is a war veteran, using their pension to start a business, a fraud? You have ALL their details in HMRC??!??!

So please do not spout more BS that you actually CARE about war veterans… you literally left them for dead!

Just in case you pretend you can’t remember us:

ExcludedUK represent the 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support, yet they were told they could not work or open their businesses. That 10% of the UK workforce is 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?!?!

YES! This WAS 5 years ago… but the devastation is still being felt by businesses and individuals, YOUR CONSTITUENTS, even now!

10 RECENT ATTEMPTED SUICIDES OVER BOUNCE BACK LOANS!

YOUR #EXCLUDEDUK CONSTITUENTS NEED YOU AND ARE ASKING WHERE YOU ARE…

PLEASE SHOW THEM YOUR SUPPORT BY JOINING OUR APPG

We have sadly had at least 37 suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides, 10 in the last few months.

We dutifully paid in but were deliberately left out!

Lives & livelihoods ruined!

[ExcludedUK Official @ExcludedUK]

Not sure your two children represent the 3.8 million UK taxpayers who were excluded from parity of support schemes... ask #ExcludedUK members... or have a look at https://t.co/bmIoivlWiL to educate yourself.

I know it seems hard to believe that a government would ignore 10% of the UK workforce at a time they needed them the most, but 3.8 million experienced exactly that... and sadly at least 37 took their own lives as they could not face having to live off nothing.

[ExcludedFighter @ExcludedFighter]

Utter BS @wesstreeting, as even after the drubbing that @UKLabour got in the elections, your Govt still choose to look the other way and it has now tragically cost another #ExcludedUK life to suicide.

WHAT DID YOU DO THIS BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND?

Devastatingly, #ExcludedUK lost our 38th member to suicide over not being able to afford the Bounce Back Loan that 90% of UK taxpayers did not have to take out to live.

As is our policy, we never give out names, locations etc., but all MPs should sit up and take notice as this could be one of your constituents!

Obviously we have sent our condolences to family, friends and their fellow excluded, but they deserve better and need you to step up and do your bit! Surely it doesn't have to be your loved one who takes their own life before you do whatever you can to raise this matter.

YES! The initial issue WAS 5 years ago… but the devastation is still being felt by businesses and individuals, YOUR CONSTITUENTS, even now!

10 recent attempted suicides over Bounce Back Loan Repayments and now one successful attempt! Shame on those who could have ensured this was avoided!

The right thing for MPs to do now is to join our APPG to avoid any more unnecessary deaths. Please DM us on here or email [email protected]

EXCLUDED: The national COVID-19 financial scandal

A MASSIVE GAMBLE.... OUR OWN TV DRAMA PILOT!!!

#ExcludedUK have tried everything to get our story out to the world in anyway, shape or form and, so far, nobody has been willing to feature us in a major way...well, not enough for the general public to sit up and take us seriously..

We had a glimmer of hope with some media interest following ITV's Mr Bates vs The Post Office drama, but all the interviews came to nothing, meaning our story still didn't make the main news, let alone the TV.

One reason that broadcasters might be a bit shy is that, despite it being the UK's most-watched TV show of the year so far, Mr Bates vs The Post Office made ITV a loss of about £1m! So we thought this would put everyone off doing another drama, particularly on such a sensitive topic where people have taken their own lives...

Then we were approached by a TV production company.....

......we had several meetings.....

.......then we were sent the attached trailer ....

..........when we stopped crying...

.......we decided that we would back the production company....

........please watch the trailer and give us your reactions..

This is where Eastenders would put the Duff-Duffs....

So, now you have composed yourselves...

ExcludedUK will promote the crowd funder for this TV pilot to see if we can raise enough money to make the pilot episode (we are hoping to make at least two more episodes once the pilot episode is sold).

All the jobs required to create the pilot episode will be offered to ExcludedUK members first (details to follow soon).

PLEASE NOTE: We have a duty of care to make it clear to members that, like our own fund, you must not donate anything you cannot afford, we just ask you forward the details of the crowd funder to all your contacts and share on social media.

We also want to make it explicitly clear that this is a gamble as nothing can be guaranteed. If you cannot afford to donate and risk not getting a return, please do not donate.

The production company have signed a contract to say that if there are excess donations after the pilot is filmed, these donations will be transferred into the ExcludedUK fund. Also, if the fundraiser fails to attract enough donations, after costs, whatever is raised will be transferred into the ExcludedUK fund.

So... here is the link you need to share....
https://t.co/R9508j3MAs…

Let's hope someone thinks this is a good idea....

Lots of love
Jennifer and the ExcludedUK Team x

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/BMaL5U4i3W

@carolvorders @LBC Thank you @carolvorders. This NEEDS to be talked about. Sunak & Norman need to be held accountable. In support of all those who lost their lives, their businesses, their homes, their dignity.

[Helen Godbold-Eade @LikeClockworkMD]

@hairyconflake @carolvorders @LBC Apply that here then..."you only earn salary when you go to work". The whole point is the economy was largely shut down, hence meaningful financial support was required. It wasn't given fairly & 3.8 million (ONS figure) were WRONGLY excluded.

@ABridgen I raised my concerns on the WHO treaty with my (Tory) MP in Jan 24. MP's reply "I can assure you the speculation that somehow the WHO undermines UK sovereignty and gives the WHO powers over national public health measures is simply not the case". #headinthesand #oblivious

[Helen Godbold-Eade @LikeClockworkMD]

@ABridgen Raised Qs with my MP (Conservative) about this. Not at all reassured by his reply: "I can assure you the speculation that somehow the WHO undermines UK sovereignty and gives the WHO powers over national public health measures is simply not the case". #EducatetheMPs #CluelessMPs

@RangemasterUK "leaders in outstanding heritage and British manufacturing" Hardly! Our Stove was made in Turkey, and it's completely failed after less than 3 months. Very poor customer service from https://t.co/HqBO0AscXY and Rangemaster too.
