I'm lending my support to the handing in of the #excludeduk petition today, joining cross party MPs
Not been outside m'house to work for 4mths. 1hr 20 walk there so expect a v. sweaty photo-opp.Yet its worth it. We must support those unsupported through no fault of their own.
Here, an #ExcludedUK sufferer asks how he is meant to survive on literally *zero income*. Chancellor Sunak boasts about what he has done but completely ignores the plight of Mark and all #ExcludedUK. Utterly utterly shameful.

Truth be told, I’m lucky enough to be ok during lockdown (savings and no kids/responsibilities), but a huge number of my fellow industry members - as well as other freelancers - need govt support to make ends meet. Sadly, they’ve been largely forgotten. #forgottenfreelancers
Dear @RishiSunak,
On Sunday on Marr you said you 'quibbled' with my number of 3m #ExcludedUK financially impacted by Covid missing out on the main support schemes?
I agree an accurate number is needed. Will the Treasury then pls research exactly how many are missing out?
I'm grateful to the Chancellor for meeting with me this evening to discuss the economic response to Coronavirus-related disruption. Critical issues still need to be dealt with if we are to reduce the short- and long-term impact of the slowdown.
Half a million are being denied justice by the #newstarterfurlough and so we are calling for action by @RishiSunak and the Treasury to save lives and offer #newstarterjustice You said no one left behind, make that right!
Around 260,000 people change jobs in the UK EVERY MONTH.
New starters from March and April are currently unable to claim furlough pay.
So, about 520,000 people have been forced into financial hardship.
WE NEED A CHANGE TO THE JOB RETENTION SCHEME.
