Constantly 🤦♀️ #FBPE #FBPPR #Excludeduk













As part of Labour’s Plan for Change, the State Pension is rising from today, putting up to £470 more in pensioners’ pockets.



An @NAOorguk report confirms 2.9million have been #ExcludedUK from government Covid-19 schemes. Government has been accused of “putting the misplaced fear of possible fraud above providing support” (@NUJofficial)- while £1.3bn has been given to workers who saw no loss of income.




The Public see you, and the Public support you, and the @UKLabour Metro Mayor of #Manchester @AndyBurnhamGM has today made a commitment to work with you, and to make sure that the #ExcludedUK is recognised as one of the injustices that this Country needs to rectify. @ExcludedUK



“To exclude the 3 million self-employed from support during the new lockdown is totally unforgivable.” Thanks @Keir_Starmer for supporting those @excludedUK people. We’re desperate for financial support! #GapsInSupport #GapsinsupportAPPG #excludedUK






This story is beyond shameful. The Tories’ VIP lane for PPE saw taxpayers’ money handed to Conservative friends and donors like confetti. Experienced British businesses offered to help - but were left out in the cold. Labour will end this Tory cronyism. thesun.co.uk/news/23143241/…

7 RECENT ATTEMPTED SUICIDES OVER BOUNCE BACK LOANS! YOUR #EXCLUDEDUK CONSTITUENTS NEED YOU AND ARE ASKING WHERE YOU ARE… PLEASE SHOW THEM YOUR SUPPORT BY JOINING OUR APPG Labour MP Steve Witherden (Mongomeryshire and Glyndŵr) @switherdenMP, has set up and is Chair of the ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG’ and your excluded constituents would really appreciate you register to join. All officer positions have been taken, so you are invited to be an ordinary member. If you are unable to attend the meetings in person, for whatever reason, this is not an issue as we will email all progress directly to you after each meeting. To join, please DM us on here, or email excludeduk@hotmail.com If you are not aware of us, please read on…. ExcludedUK represent the 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support, yet they were told they could not work or open their businesses. That 10% of the UK workforce is equivalent to the population of Wales! Also, there were only an average of 500,000 job vacancies during the pandemic, (source data from the ONS) , so what were the other 3.3 million of us supposed to do?!?! Our previous APPG had over 260 cross-party MPs and we are hoping to match that with our new APPG. We have sadly had at least 37 suicides and hundreds of attempted suicides, 7 in the last few months. We dutifully paid in but were deliberately left out! Lives & livelihoods ruined! Website: excludeduk.org There are over 20 categories of exclusions including: ·New starters ·New Businesses ·PAYE freelancers ·Newly self-employed ·Those denied furlough ·Directors paid in Dividends ·Directors paid PAYE Annually ·Made redundant before 19 Mar 2020 ·Directors of Companies not in Profit ·Self-employed with +£50k trading profits ·Businesses ineligible for Business Grants ·Those in maternity/parental/adoption leave ·Those earning less than 50% income from self-employment ·Those whose personal circumstances have affected entitlement to support e.g. pensions, bereavement allowance, carer’s allowance, students, armed forces veterans… and more… ExcludedUK are asking for: (1) An apology from government so this injustice is recognised and assurance that it will never happen again. (2) Parity of support (3) Acknowledgement of loss of earnings/profit and consequential loss. #ExcludedUK @CHinchliffMP @chriswkane @ChrisMcDonaldMP @ChrisMurrayMP @chriswardmp @ChrisWebbMP @Chris_EvansMP @ChrisVinceMP @CHazelgroveMP @clairehughesBA @Sheff_SE_CLP @connor_naismith @ConnorRand4ASW @damienegan @DanAldridgeWSM @DanCardenMP @Dan4Barnet @danfrancis02 @votedannorris @DannyBeales @darrenpaffey @DaveR_Lichfield @DavidBSampson @DavidPintoD @dsnorthnorth @DavidTaylor85 @david4lcs @DawnButlerBrent @deirdrecostigan @Labour_Douglas @elsieblundell @emily4MK @EmilyThornberry @efoody @Euan4Falkirk @FabianLeedsNE @FJMcNally @FredThomasUK @gareth_snell @FloEshalomi @GillFurnissMP @GordonMcKeeMP @GraemeDownieMP @gregorpoynton @gsjosan @harpreetkuppal
