Campaign for those who changed jobs after 28 Feb 2020, who now have no work or income, to be eligible for the CJRS. #newstarterfurlough#newstarterjustice
It's been more than 10 months now. 3 million people can't wait around for @RishiSunak to get over the denial phase of facing his mistakes.
We need action and we need it now. I urge @hmtreasury to meet with @APPGGapsSupport as soon as possible.

In our session yesterday looking ahead to #Budget2021, @SteveBakerHW asked:
🗣️"Isn't there a case to say to the Chancellor [...] you need to deliver some justice for people who've been excluded from some of your support schemes?"
@realVickyPryce responded:
🗣️"I would say yes."
Chancellor has to accept there are serious gaps in self-employed support schemes & make help for 3m #Excluded a focus of Budget next month
It's a scandal that 10 months into this crisis. so many are still without support

Pleased to add my name to this letter. @RishiSunak needs to listen to MPs of all parties - he has got it wrong leaving people behind. I’ve written to him with suggestions, partic. for directors paid via dividends, he should look again at this & suggestions from @APPGGapsSupport
We won't stop pushing the government to fix these gaps. @APPGGapsSupport and all the #Excluded groups have given the Chancellor solutions and opportunities to fix this - he should take the time and listen to us

@spannergeek Not in the slightest. Continue to champion #excluded. I was at the @APPGGapsSupport earlier this week and have signed @Jamie4North's letter to the Chancellor. As my party's Health & Social Care Spokesperson, I speak regularly on other issues too!
Sunak's right not to recognise the 3 million figure - it's more like 4 million. They count the 900k businesses they've excluded rather than the 2 million company directors who run them, not to mention the 8 million people those businesses employ. @ForgottenLtd@ExcludedUK
Happy to have joined this group of MPs set up by @Jamie4North
The path back to economic security will be a long and difficult one, but at an absolute minimum the government must recognise the 3m #ExcludedUK and ensure furlough works for all.
Really pleased to add my name to @Jamie4North cross party letter to @RishiSunak, who appears to be in denial about the plight of those @ExcludedUK and #ForgottenLtd.
The Government's continued obfuscation on this issue has to stop.
3 m people have fallen between the cracks of the government’s worker support schemes. The Chancellor needs to stop denying that the 3m exist & start fixing the many gaps in support. I’ve joined MPs led by @Jamie4North to take him to task #excludeduk#ForgottenLtd@APPGGapsSupport
The cross-party support for those excluded from any Covid support is huge. The Chancellor needs to start listening & provide support to the millions who so far have had nothing @ForgottenLtd@ForgottenPAYE@ExcludedUK
Pleased to sign this letter to @RishiSunak 👇
Rishi Sunak is in complete denial about the 3 million people who've been repeatedly #excluded from support.
Proud to put my name to @Jamie4North's cross-party letter urging the Chancellor to wake up and help the many self-employed, small biz owners & more who need his support.
Distinct lack of empathy here from the Chancellor for people who have found themselves excluded from public support.
He should join one of our Mayors calls with @ExcludedUK members and listen to how people are struggling. If he did, he wouldn’t send another letter like this. 👇
