So, @RishiSunak has gone from saying that nobody will be left behind, to saying he can’t save everyone and he accepts that people will inevitably fall through the cracks. There’s thousands of us Rishi. You’re spending so much - surely you can spare some for #newstarterfurlough?
Started new job 16.3 not entitled to JRS, not entitled to UC, old employer not an option! Why are we being left with no income! #wearethetaxpayers#newstarterfurlough
What is the economic impact of #coronavirus?
We'll question Jim Harra and Cerys McDonald from HMRC on the issues, including the Job Retention Scheme and support for self-employed people.
Watch it live at 9.30am on Wednesday 8 April here:

#AskRishi will you be amending the JRS so that new starters are included if theres evidence of job offer/acceptance from new employer before 20/03? 1000s of hardworkers are effected by the cut off 28/2 as we were to start new jobs after this date #newstarterfurlough@RishiSunak
@DianeDoddsMLA can you help me and many like me who started new jobs after the 28.2? We are not eligible for the JRS and are falling through the gap! Why am I being penalised for starting a new job?The eligibility of the scheme needs changed to include us! #newstarterfurlough
#AskRishi please amend the 28.2 cut off date for the Retention scheme. So many of us changed jobs in March and are not eligible. Please don’t leave us behind #newstarterfurlough
Thank you to @hassanrajwani for collecting content and making this incredible video on the #newstarterfurlough campaign. @rishisunak, thousands of hard-working people have fallen into this loophole in the #CJRS. #DearRishi, please help us. Include us in the scheme. We need it.
We need the ability to be furloughed by new employers. They want to keep us, old employers don’t. There’s nothing in it for old employers and they mostly won’t help. It’s the Job RETENTION Scheme - let people retain the jobs they worked so hard to get! #newstarterfurlough
@hmtreasury Why are thousands of people that changed jobs after feb 28th being left behind? Going back to old employers isn’t a viable option and neither is UC. Something needs to be done to change the date so that our new employers are able to furlough us. #AskRishi#newstarterfurlough
@hmtreasury#AskRishi why are people who started new jobs after 28.2 being penalised and left behind? Change the eligibility of the scheme to include us! #newstarterfurlough
@RishiSunak#AskRishi what about all of us that changed jobs after 28.2? Why are we falling through the gap of the retention scheme and being left behind? Change the eligibility of the scheme to include us! #newstarterfurlough
The employed get 80% of their wages paid. The self employed can claim 80% of their wages back. The unemployed can still claim their benefits. People who started new job or due to in March, who have paid into the system, get nothing, no income, just FORGOTTEN. #newstarterfurlough
