[Will Forster MP 🔶 @WillForster]

The appalling case of my #Woking constituent Sara Sharif has highlighted the failings in family courts. Pleased these courts will become more transparent from early next year - but more reform is clearly.

ARE YOU ONE OF MILLIONS DENIED ACCESS TO ADEQUATE COVID SUPPORT?

With Labour's support when in opposition and campaigning to be the Party of social justice and equality, we are calling on them to deliver financial redress.

'THE IMPACT' IS UTTERLY SHOCKING!

#EXCLUDEDUK members are in shock tonight having watched #MrBatesVsThePostOffice - 'The Impact' on @ITV and are incredulous that the victims are still having to fight for justice and restitution. The lies that were so easily told, the helplessness the victims felt, the financial devastation and decimated relationships...it is time this is resolved and now!

There are so many parallels with the ExcludedUK Covid scandal and we can resonate with the stories of hopelessness and despair that has devastated lives and livelihoods, as well as those who paid the ultimate price by taking their own lives.

The programme reported how 67% of those accused show signs of PTSD and 60% showed signs of clinical depression. The scandal also also featured suicide and attempted suicides... again, all these issues run parallel with the ExcludedUK Covid Scandal.

It is completely shameful that it has taken for an ITV drama to highlight the issues with the Horizon computer system... and then the Capture system since then!

#ExcludedUK stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sub postmasters and will continue to do so until both our scandals see full restitution.

PLEASE HELP!! SCANDALS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE MADE INTO TV DRAMAS FOR THEM TO BE RESOLVED! ..but seeing as the general public only seem to rise up and help campaign for change if they see a drama like ITV's #MrBatesVsThePostOffice, then so be it...

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 any way, 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 #MrBatesVsThePostOffice drama, but all the interviews came to nothing, meaning our story still didn't make the main news, let alone the TV.

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

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).

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. https://t.co/vUGcBFH7Ft…

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

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!

37+ suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides!

@SW_Help I’m waiting at Epsom station with 4 kids to go to London. No problem that there are issues on the line. But have been waiting for a replacement bus driver. Could you make sure that it is clear what the quickest option is?

@ExcludedFighter @labourlewis @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @ExcludedUK I second that, it would be therapeutic and a relief to be heard.

[Cllr Merel Rehorst-Smith LD🔸 @merelrsld]

@AdvanOosten @GMB Maar bedankt, ik zal de Nederlandse krant eens lezen. Net zoals Kajsa Ollongren verandert mijn naam tijdens council meetings voortdurend. Het is elke keer weer een verassing. 🤣

[Cllr Merel Rehorst-Smith LD🔸 @merelrsld]

@AdvanOosten @GMB No chance! 😂

[Cllr Merel Rehorst-Smith LD🔸 @merelrsld]

@GMB Tricky one, people can’t pronounce my name. To avoid me not realising they are talking to me, I use an easier version. It is really, really nice when somebody gets it right though. Not sure if I would find it disrespectful; I can’t always pronounce their names either.

@cajardineMP I visited Bolivia on an Erasmus scholar ship/student exchange. It was an amazing experience, I wish all current students would be able to experience this.

Thank you @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan for mentioning the 3.8 million #ExcludedUk in @EveningStandard

It is so very much appreciated by our members that we are still in the minds of those who can make the changes so desperately still needed to help those excluded from equal Covid-19 financial support.

"THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AGAIN"
(Baroness Heather Hallett, Chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, 18/07/2024)

#ExcludedUK listened to the the Chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, Baroness Heather Hallett, present the findings of the first module, the investigation into the nation’s resilience and preparedness for the pandemic.

Baroness Hallett highlighted that the @Conservatives "government's sole pandemic strategy from 2011 was outdated and lacked adaptability. It was never, in fact, properly tested. The UK government neither applied it, nor adapted it, and the doctrine that underpinned it was ultimately abandoned, as was the 2011 strategy itself"

Baroness Hallett went on to say "I have no hesitation in concluding that the processes, planning and policy of the Civil contingency structures across the United Kingdom, failed the citizens of all four nations".... "This cannot be allowed to happen again"

Expert evidence suggests that another pandemic is likely in the near to medium future and it is therefore crucial that @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour and the entire government, come together to ensure that every single person in the UK is supported. We just cannot have a repeat of the last pandemic where 3.8 million UK taxpayers are excluded from parity of pandemic support.
