Thank you to @AndyBurnhamGM , Mayor of Greater Manchester, for meeting with Jennifer Griffiths, Head of ExcludedUK, and team member Maria Hennings Hunt and Cheryl Jones, to discuss the 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from fair and equal Covid-19 financial support.

We enjoyed a frank and open, sometimes emotional, discussion around the history of #ExcludedUK and the issues our members are still facing today.

READ THE ROOM JESSE!

@Jesse_Norman you have such a cheek!! You rejected all the suggested proposals that #ExcludedUK APPG put forward to you and @RishiSunak and the @Conservatives left 3.8 million UK taxpayers and their families without parity of Covid-19 financial support... and now you want THEM to assure YOU they will vote you back in?!? Are you serious?!? Your policy decision decimated lives and livelihoods and you are asking for those same people to ever trust you again?!?

You really have some front asking for anything from those who you pushed to the edge!

37+ suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides including 4 in the last 2 weeks due to our members not being able to pay their Bounce Back LOANS... not SEISS or CJRS... LOANS...the loans that YOU pushed on people as they had no other choice!

If you didn't have your exorbitant salaries, lavish expense accounts, and all the other money-generating hustles your party enjoy...would you have had 2 years bill money stashed down the back of your sofa?!? If you did have savings, would you have been happy to use them up and have to cash your pension in, just to survive when the rest of your street were languishing in their hired hot tubs on 80% pay?!?

We cannot fault the speed and generosity of the support schemes that were put in place for those who qualified for them, however, despite immediately drawing your attention to the excluded, our members (10% of the UK workforce..more than the population of Wales!):

* Had to take out Bounce back LOANS, credit card debts, personal loans from friends and family, overdrafts
* Sold houses, cars, family heirlooms, wedding rings and other personal and sentimental jewellery…
* Some slept in their cars, in caravans or tents on friends/family's land
* Were humiliated by having to take hand-outs from our ‘Covid Support Fund’ and from food banks

...and yet the first three of the five SEISS grants paid £3.5 billion to people whose self-employment income did not reduce in 2020-21
AND

...spending on CJRS by October 2020 included £1.5 billion paid to employers whose turnover did not fall, and who would not have cut their workforce even without the grant

Not only did you not give us support, you also called us fraudsters. You now expect us to pay increased taxes to claw back money to cover REAL Covid fraud and pay for the financial support schemes we didn't get!?!?!!

Have we missed something? Did you send us a communication to say you had made a mistake and we can now claim parity of support, or are these letters in the same post bag as the #1950swomen #WASPI postal sack that mysteriously disappeared?!?!

Just read the room Jesse... take your handwritten notes and put them in the bin... do what you want with them, but please do not post them through the letterboxes of #ExcludedUK members who you have already caused immense trauma...just leave them alone to try and rebuild their lives under a new government, who we hope will right the wrongs of this one!

Keir Starmer has waded into the Nike England shirt row, proving to critics that he is capable of taking a principled stance on an issue, just as long as that issue is utterly meaningless

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Portsmouth's £24m Brexit processing centre, built in 2021 was meant to check 80 lorries a day, it gets 5.

It is going to be demolished so the land can be sold to developers.

Another Brexit Benefit, throwing your money away.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

More Tory MPs have spoken up about how Nike have done a fashion thing, than about the child poverty data which shows a growing number of children in the country they rule not having enough to eat. Wobble your heads.

The Hospitality sector is seeing more closures than ever before.

The one single mechanism to reverse the trend, is to CUT VAT.

Part of my interview on @BBCBreakfast this morning:

[Sacha Lord @Sacha_Lord]

The Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt will go down in the history books as being The Chancellor who allowed the UKs Hospitality sector to decimate.

He has the power to reduce VAT to save what’s left.

[Sacha Lord @Sacha_Lord]

Yesterday, the PM Sunak donated 6 boxes of mince pies to front line workers.

On the same day, the Mayor of Greater Manchester @AndyBurnhamGM donated 15% of his salary to help tackle homelessness, which he does every month.

Compare and contrast....

FATAL MOTION VOTE TOMORROW!

This a last chance to STOP the Governments anti strike regulations

Will @UKLabour @LabourLordsUK @LibDems @LibDemLords step up & back it or allow the anti strike regulations to pass?

Please do the right thing for workers & stop this reckless Govt

[ExcludedFighter @ExcludedFighter]

3 years ago today @Keir_Starmer, said to @NickFerrariLBC that it is "UNFORGIVABLE" that there are millions #ExcludedUK from C19 support

3 years on, the @Labour leadership pretend that we have never existed, and neither will our votes if they remain silent

@MartinSLewis 'Hand luggage only' model has massively negatively impacted flights - takes longer to board because absolutely everyone takes a wheelie into the cabin rather than the hold, & lockers are rammed. Airlines inconsistent in enforcing limits internationally. Recipe for stress for all!

[Sacha Lord @Sacha_Lord]

This is for the 3.8 million lives that were ignored.

The freelancers and the self employed.

The Conference are trying every trick to have this taken down…so I’ve just deployed large digital vans as well, to keep circling the area.

EDA RECORD ALERT

Current Year 12 superstar, Roisin, had a review of marking come back upgraded to a grade 9. This means she secured ALL GRADE 9s in her GCSE results. This is an Academy first. What an astonishing achievement. Well done Roisin, we are sooooo proud of you 👏 🥰

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

A favour everyone. We may not have the millionaire backers of GB news but we are doing our very best to hold this Government to account by reporting the unvarnished facts UK news shows choose to ignore.If you like our reports please help us reach more people with a RT & follow🙏

@TiceRichard 'bungling Brussels bureaucrats'? Have you seen the lot currently in power? Their only redeeming factor is that they're not you and your cronies. The bar is subterranean.
