Great news - I'm setting up an ExcludedUK All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) so MPs from all parties can come together to find solutions for those unfairly excluded from Government support
Ask your MP to join the Tuesday meeting #ExcludedUK #ForgottenLtd #NewStarterJustice

Paul It’s far worse. Infosys aquired a firm called Simplus in mid-March. Initially, due to the timing of the purchase, all Employees would have been ineligible for Furlough, but surprise, he immediately amended the scheme to bypass the criteria. Family first? #newstarterjustice

I have written to @RishiSunak asking him to take a hard look at the impact of his decision to exclude so many new starters from government help schemes. Research by @NewStarterJust shows 83% of new starters are not entitled to UC. These people deserve better. #newstarterjustice
Today I raised @NewStarterJust's campaign with Chancellor @RishiSunak. It's a disgrace hard-working people are not getting help just because they were due to start a new job after Feb 28. I told him he's thrown people under a bus, he tells me it's defensible. #newstarterjustice

And the hundreds of thousands who are excluded from the furlough Scheme take a first job to make ends meet! bit.ly/3cHtkW9

There’ll be a new starter who’ll be alright next Weds - Govt priority is to appoint one of their own MPs and pay them £60K over 4 years to scrutinise the Government! Looking after their own while throwing hard working people under the bus @NewStarterJust ask your MP to oppose

My questions to economists @CommonsTreasury on the shape of UK's economic recovery & the vital need for government to support those left out of the Job Retention Scheme @NewStarterJust and the 640,000 young people now at risk of unemployment. youtu.be/ZTDVurqvo84

This sounds really promising! We can’t wait to hear more - hopefully all the #newstarterjustice gaps will be filled and we’ll all have an income again! Looking forward to the @CommonsTreasury meeting later @rushanaraali @MelJStride @alisonthewliss

When will you listen to #NewStarterJustice? Yes, the CJRS is great, we know that, but it would be so much better if at least 1.5 million people weren't left out unnecessarily. It is NOT defensible. If you can extend the scheme to October, you can extend it to us too.
Important that our self-employment support scheme has got off to such a good start with more than 440k applications worth £1.3bn in the first day.
This money will be vital in giving Britain’s self-employed the security they need. Check if you can claim: gov.uk/guidance/claim-a-gran…

#martinlewis Please please please ask him what more is being done regarding the gaps in the furlough scheme as this was something @RishiSunak was supposed to be answering and please don’t say uc etc .. I started on 2nd March before 19th March RTI cut off - all monthly payers ...

The UK #furloughscheme has been extended until October.
The Chancellor must now fix the serious gaps in the scheme to ensure everybody gets the support they need.

This week, along with many of my colleagues, I signed EDM 377 in support of the #newstarterjustice campaign, tabled by @AngelaCrawley30.

We need clarity, consensus and real leadership, not confusion and mixed messages from the Prime Minister.

Well done @EdwardJDavey taking up the call in #PMQs to ask if an extension is coming for the self employed income support scheme.
Remember currently the furlough scheme ends in Oct, yet the self employment scheme ends in 3 weeks (payouts now are for Mar - May).
Sadly no answer

#NewStarterJustice has been on an emotional rollercoaster since the #CJRS was announced. We keep thinking each next turn will include us, but so far we have always been disappointed. When will @RishiSunak let us disembark and get support? #RideTheEmotion

I have signed @NewStarterJust's open letter to the Chancellor @RishiSunak. Too many people are falling between the gaps of Government help. No one should be punished because they were due to start a new job after Feb 28. #stayalertfornewstarters #newstarterjustice
WE ARE #newstarterjustice.
A month ago, @RishiSunak made a promise to every worker that we would ‘not be left behind’.
Today, we are asking him to come through on this promise.
Please sign our open letter.

Thank you so much for supporting us and questioning him! We really don’t know how he continues to defend it, and skirt around the issue. We desperately need income help now, and we cannot survive for months. #newstarterjustice
