Thank you so much for writing this excellent letter Kevin! We really hope it will make @RishiSunak realise the extent of people left out, what hardships they’re facing, and how it isn’t defensible in the slightest. #NewStarterJustice #NewStarterFurlough
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

The scheme is extendable, and we are not expendable. You cannot simply toss us aside and call it "defensible", it's inhumane. #newstarterjustice @RishiSunak

HMRC have now said that employees who have been transferred to another company during a takeover after 28 Feb and are now on a new payroll are eligible for the #CJRS. Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law’s company has just taken over another UK company. Interesting. #newstarterfurlough

Government: Let’s put the security of the vast majority of our country in the hands of employers (past and present). Let’s then poo in our pantaloons at the fear of fraudulent activity by said employers. #wearenotfrauds #wearethetaxpayers #newstarterfurlough

Those of us you’ve left behind with no income aren’t celebrating. We haven’t any money to celebrate with, and nothing to celebrate either. Why don’t you give us something to celebrate and include us in the rest of your financial support? #newstarterfurlough #wearethetaxpayers

Todays Twitter Poll: Will you be better or worse off by the end of lock down than at the start? This will seem a perverse Q to the sadly too many in financial dire straits.Yet for some still working,staying at home, less spending means more saving. I want to understand the split
16%Much worse off
23%Worse off
36%Same roughly
25%Little/lot better off

I FINALLY got my dream traineeship offer in TV on 3rd of March & signed contract March 10th. Was SO excited to accept & leave my very part time retail job But thanks to Feb payroll rule, I have no income. My rent alone is £725. PLZ allow New Starter evidence. #newstarterfurlough

Another heartbreaking truth about how hard this is hitting people. @RishiSunak we beg you, please amend the JRS, people like us dont have an income. It's not sustainable and we cannot survive like this! #wearethetaxpayers #newstarterfurlough #whataboutusboris

@RishiSunak this is me right now, crying because I’m trying to work out how I will pay my bills for what is likely to be the next 5 months (with stress induced migraine). I’m sick with worry and won’t get any help from UC. Please please I’m desperate 😭 #newstarterfurlough

Thank you for your support and please continue pushing for this. We cannot survive with no income, it's not sustainable 😔 #newstarterfurlough #wearethetaxpayers
Thanks ever so much for your support and continued efforts in this battle #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.
#newstarterfurlough #wearethetaxpayers #whataboutusboris @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab @10DowningStreet Why do we continue to be ignored? Why aren't we getting the same rights as everyone else? Why don't we deserve to feed our families? When will this be addressed?
