I don't understand the thinking of universities in this A-level debacle. If someone nailed an entrance interview, got predicted straight As and offered a place at a great uni, what is the logic in suddenly rejecting them based on an exam they didn't take?
There are many who through no fault of their own, have not qualified for any financial assistance during the coronavirus crisis including new starters, freelancers and limited company directors, to name a few. Working with the @ExcludedUK APPG I’m calling on the Government to act
Today I asked the Chancellor to be true to his word & support the million+ self employed people unable to access SISS or JRS - he basically said its only 5% so don't worry about them @ExcludedUK
Chancellor opens with an other of his 'we will do all that it takes' statements. That may well stick in the craw of the up to 3m #ExcludedUK.

@BorisJohnson How about the 3 million @ExcludedUK who have paid their taxes, stayed at home and gotten no help from your government schemes during this pandemic?
One poss scary reading of the reason the govt's content to exclude 3m ish people from support schemes could be its prime aim was to support the economy, not the individual.
If it thinks its hit a critical mass for that, it can accept collateral damage of #excludedUK individuals
I have 3 children, times are hard, so I’m only feeding 2 of them, the 3rd child can wait until things pick up. When the 3rd child asks me why I’m not feeding him I’ll tell him about how much I’ve fed the other 2 and how much they enjoyed it. Parenting, by @RishiSunak#ExcludedUK
@RishiSunak is hoping we will all just roll over and go away - well, not a chance! We deserve help & suport and we WILL get it. @ExcludedUK and 3m people cannot be silenced. #ExcludedUK#wewillbeheard
I’m sorry but @RishiSunak has really hit a nerve today to say “My priority now is to protect as many jobs as possible” you’ve known about #GapsInSupport and left people to lose jobs and business and you stand there all high and mighty.. have a day off #newstarterjustice
I've just signed the open letter calling on the Chancellor to amend the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to include the one million new starters who have been excluded from the scheme

Dear @RishiSunak - I’ve worked since I was 14 & I’ve always paid my taxes. I’ve worked for large corporations, small businesses, & now for my own LTD company. PLEASE can you explain to me WHY I’m now excluded from ALL government grants & SEISS? What did I do wrong?🤷♀️ #ExcludedUK
I do not know Tim who included me on this tweet but he touches on a key point ... the Treasury Select Committee Report at the start of this week highlighted groups who had been excluded (unintentionally perhaps) from the generous Government schemes.Their plight warrants action.
Why did I bother getting an amazing job relevant to my degree when I could of just stayed miserable as a bar tender being hit on by old creepy men every night but still be entitled to furlough at least😂 #newstarterfurlough@RishiSunak
I work with so many freelancers in the TV and Entertainment industry who have been affected by this, please lend your support! #forgottenfreelancers#NFD#ExcludedUK
