Several constituents have raised they are exempt from gov's furlough scheme because they started a new job in February - the cut off date to receive support So I wrote to @RishiSunak with #newstarterfurlough plan, a solution proposed by my colleague @EdwardJDavey

Your support in the #newstarterfurlough issue is great! What are your thoughts on solving the issue? Do you agree with @EdwardJDavey MP? Will Sir @Keir_Starmer speak about this when he meets with @BorisJohnson later this week? #wearerhetaxpayer

We have been penalised for being hard working and tax payers, simply for changing our job from one to an other This is not right can not be right! @RishiSunak you can make this right and provide safety in this dangerous world out there (COVID19) #newstarterfurlough
We sincerely hope he鈥檒l listen to us too #wearethetaxpayers #newstarterfurlough
Thank you Nick. Thousands have fallen down this crack. Going back to a previous employer isn鈥檛 an option. We have signed contracts with new employers which pre date the scheme being announced. We need change #newstarterfurlough #wearethetaxpayers
The Chancellor has updated some of the guidance on the job retention and self-employment schemes but serious flaws still exist. I've written again today to implore him to make sure no-one falls through the gaps.

The Chancellor must not fail new start employees by locking them out of the retention scheme because they changed jobs after the end of February. I've written to Rishi Sunak to ask him to rethink the scheme so that nobody falls through the cracks.

This new group aims to close one of the loopholes in the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme mentioned in my blog. There are big loopholes too in the Self-employment Income Support Scheme. See my blogs below this response.

Please highlight those not eligible for furlough having left employment after 28th February to move onto new employment. We are currently not covered. We have fallen down a black hole. Many of us cannot claim for UC and previous employers refuse to help #newstarterfurlough

#newstarterfurlough #wearethetaxpayers exactly the same situation, paid taxes for 34 years. I don't understand how this is fair, legal or morally right. @PennyMordaunt @AndyMcDonaldMP @AnnelieseDodds @DominicRaab

I would have been included in the budgeting for furlough as I was on a PAYE payroll on 28/2 yet I can鈥檛 access it as changed jobs after this date but before the JRS was even introduced. Include us like we rightfully should be! #newstarterfurlough
