WORDS MATTER… ACTION MATTERS MORE! On 24 June 2024, during an ExcludedUK livestream, @AndyBurnham spoke clearly about what could still be done for the 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support. He said: “I think there are ways we can start to frame financial asks that I think are fair, proportionate and doable.” More than two years later, those words remain just as important. Andy has consistently been one of ExcludedUK’s strongest political supporters. He recognised that what happened to the 3.8 million was not simply an unfortunate consequence of the pandemic response. It was an injustice. He told our community: “The public see you and the public support you.” He also pledged: “We will work with you to make sure that the excluded is recognised as one of the injustices that this country needs to rectify.” And he was unequivocal that time did not diminish that commitment: “I supported you back in the pandemic, and we support you now. The passage of time doesn’t change that.” Today, as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham is in a position to help turn those commitments into meaningful action. #ExcludedUK is ready to work constructively with the Prime Minister and the Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG to explore financial redress that is fair, proportionate and achievable. Because after more than six years, the consequences cannot simply be forgotten. Businesses were lost... and are still being lost! Homes were lost...and reposessions continue... Livelihoods and futures were destroyed.. yep! Still ongoing! More than 40 members of our community saw no other way out than to take their own lives....and they are only the ones we have been made aware of! The 3.8 million deserve more than acknowledgement of what happened. They deserve recognition, accountability and justice. Recognition is fair. Accountability is proportionate. Justice is doable. Prime Minister, the opportunity is now there to begin that work. Please contact Head of ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, at jennifer@excludeduk.org excludeduk.org #ExcludedUK #WeAreNotGoingAway #Relentless @UKLabour @APPGGapsSupport

We are ready to discuss financial asks that are fair, proportionate and achievable. After more than six years, the 3.8 million cannot simply be written off. Businesses, homes, livelihoods and futures were lost. More than 40 members of our community saw no other way out than to take their own lives. Recognition is fair. Accountability is proportionate. Justice is doable. Prime Minister, let us begin that work. Please email Head of ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, at jennifer@excludeduk.org excludeduk.org #ExcludedUK #WeAreNotGoingAway #Relentless

🚨 IT’S FINALLY LIVE! PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE OUR EXCLUDEDUK PETITION 🚨 After waiting for it to be approved and published, I can finally say it: My Parliamentary petition calling for financial redress for the 3.8 million taxpayers excluded from Covid-19 financial support is now LIVE!!! ✍️ PLEASE SIGN IT HERE: petition.parliament.uk/petit… The petition calls on the Government to: “Establish a fair financial redress scheme for the 3.8 million taxpayers excluded from Covid-19 financial support, reflecting the support received by comparable taxpayers and businesses.” For more than six years, millions of people who dutifully paid into the system have been fighting to be heard. Newly self-employed people. Company directors. Freelancers. New starters. Those denied furlough. PAYE freelancers. People earning over the SEISS threshold. Those affected by maternity, pensions and other circumstances. People lost income, businesses, homes and financial security while others in comparable circumstances received substantial Government support. The consequences did not simply disappear when lockdown ended. This petition is our opportunity to show Parliament that the excluded have NOT gone away. 📣 WE NEED 10,000 SIGNATURES for a Government response. 📣 WE NEED 100,000 SIGNATURES for the petition to be considered for debate in Parliament. So please do three things: ✅ SIGN IT ✅ SHARE IT ✅ Ask everyone you know to sign and share it too Please share it on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, email and anywhere else you can. Tag your MP. Tag journalists. Tag broadcasters. Tag anyone who supported the excluded. We need to get this in front of as many people as possible. After six years of campaigning, we are still here. We are still fighting. And we will continue until the 3.8 million excluded taxpayers finally receive the recognition, justice and financial redress they deserve. Dutifully paid in.

Please honour your word @andyburnham .... you promised us your backing when you co-hosted this event with Head of ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, back in June 2024. We know these things take time AND MONEY... but one thing that is FREE that you can do NOW... is the apology we have been asking for! Surely FREE is the price you can afford in exchange for a full and frank apology about how we were all treated at the worst time in our lives? Surely FREE is the right price to posthumously vindicate all those who sadly took their own lives as they saw no other way out of the poverty and shame! As you already know, there are 40 lives lost to suicide that we know of... there will be so many more we don't! Please let the public know that we were not the tax dodgers that @RishiSunak and @BorisJohnson made out we were! Say SORRY to 3.8 million UK taxpayers NOW... please! Then email Jennifer at jennifer@excludeduk.org to arrange a meeting to take the work you promised to do with her and the team at ExcludedUK to revolve this injustice. Thank you #ExcludedUK excludeduk.org

FAIR. PROPORTIONATE. DOABLE. In this video from our ExcludedUK livestream on 24 June 2024, @AndyBurnham said: “I think there are ways we can start to frame financial asks that I think are fair, proportionate and doable.” Those words matter even more today. Andy has been our loudest political champion from the beginning of the ExcludedUK campaign. He has recognised that the exclusion of 3.8 million UK taxpayers from parity of Covid-19 financial support was not simply unfortunate. It was an injustice that must be rectified. He told us: “The public see you and the public support you.” He promised: “We will work with you to make sure that the excluded is recognised as one of the injustices that this country needs to rectify.” He also made clear: “I supported you back in the pandemic, and we support you now. The passage of time doesn’t change that.” Now, as Prime Minister, Andy has the opportunity to work with ExcludedUK and the Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG to turn those words into action.
