1/2 G'mork/@BorisJohnson Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the Nothing grows stronger.
Atreyu: What is the Nothing?
G'mork: It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.
Today’s budget is a crucial moment for millions.... especially in the run up to Christmas.
@Keir_Starmer AND @RachelReevesMP ONCE SUPPORTED #EXCLUDEDUK…. NOW THEY DON’T… WHY?
@RachelReevesMP WAS EVEN ON OUR PREVIOUS APPG!
We hope the Chancellor finally acknowledges the people who were left without support and takes steps that genuinely look out for those represented by #ExcludedUK
It is time for fair treatment, proper recognition and meaningful action for everyone who fell through the gaps.
Sadly, this video, that was produced in December 2020, still applies to those families whose finances are still decimated by the after-effects of Covid-19. The pandemic may be over for you, but for the excluded it is far from over, due to Bounce Back Loans and debt that they never wanted to have to take out to survive!
PLEASE ASK YOUR MP TO JOIN OUR 'GAPS IN COVID-19 FINANCIAL SUPPORT' APPG.
ExcludedUK are Secretariat for this APPG and are registering all Lords and MPs who would like to join.
All officer positions have been taken, but ordinary members are welcome.
We look forward to you letting us know you would like to be added.
You can either DM us on here, or email [email protected]
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!
40+ suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides!

@KemiBadenoch Wow Kemi, great words but you forgot to tell me where my furlough money is. The party of work my ass, the party of not working more like as evidenced by the COVID enquiry. @ExcludedUK
9 DAYS UNTIL #EXCLUDEDUK MEMBERS FEATURE IN THE COVID INQUIRY IMPACT FILM TO TELL OUR STORIES OF BEING ABANDONED IN OUR HOUR OF NEED!
ExcludedUK members will feature in the Module 9 Impact Film, released on 24th November. Their contributions help highlight the real experiences of those who were left without essential support during the pandemic.
The film provides an important opportunity for these voices to be heard as part of the independent and impartial Covid Inquiry process.
We encourage MPs to join the Gaps in Covid 19 Financial Support APPG by emailing [email protected].

MPs: 10% of the UK workforce was excluded from Covid support. That’s equivalent to the population of Wales. Don’t leave your #ExcludedUK constituents behind. Join the APPG led by @switherdenMP today. Your support matters.
7 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
Labour MP Steve Witherden (Mongomeryshire and Glyndŵr) @switherdenMP, has set up and is Chair of the ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG’ and your excluded constituents would really appreciate you register to join.
All officer positions have been taken, so you are invited to be an ordinary member. If you are unable to attend the meetings in person, for whatever reason, this is not an issue as we will email all progress directly to you after each meeting.
To join, please DM us on here, or email [email protected]
If you are not aware of us, please read on….
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?!?!
Our previous APPG had over 260 cross-party MPs and we are hoping to match that with our new APPG.
We have sadly had at least 37 suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides, 7 in the last few months.
We dutifully paid in but were deliberately left out!
Lives & livelihoods ruined!

Dear @UKLabour I am much worse off because of your policies an increase no where near 470.00 does not wipe out the loss of £300 #winterfuel loss!! Stop conning yourself -you’re certainly not fooling us!! #50s women
@TorstenBell The #ExcludedUK who have worked hard throughout their lives, paying into the system are owed nothing less, and after fighting tooth and nail over the years, they now deserve dignity with parity of support from @10DowningStreet@hmtreasury.

Having spent the day today in London supporting another #ExcludedUK member (@StephenLiddell_ ) who’s industry (tourism) is still struggling to get back on its feet, I was disappointed as it is Saturday there were no MPs to approach & discuss what they are doing to support us.
Statistically it will take on average, over a decade to get out of the "CREATED FINANCIAL DEVASTATION" caused by a government whom ignored 3.8 million tax payers. Please support #excludeduk to make this terrible scandal right. We need the public to support us. It could of been u.
LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS WEEKEND! ARE YOU JETTING OFF ANYWHERE NICE?
You might spend time going for a walk on the beach, or to the park, or maybe even a lovely excursion out with your loved ones… but, whilst you are, some of your constituents are having a terrible time financially and mentally. They are having to explain to their children why they cannot afford an ice cream, or why Daddy is crying as he is trying to work out how to pay back a Bounce Back Loan etc. Within our membership we have sadly had at least 37 suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides, 7 in the last few months, all due to failure to afford Bounce Back Loan repayments.
These #ExcludedUK constituents need you to support them by joining our ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support’ APPG, chaired by Labour MP Steve Witherden @switherdenMP (Mongomeryshire and Glyndŵr).
