I made a career change to better the fortunes of my small family. #newlyselfemployed I fell through a crack opened up by @rishisunak & now I'm in a position where I feel like a disappointment. But I have to remember that this isn't my fault, its YOURS. #excludeduk #ForgottenLtd

When a child is conceived, there’s a flash of light called the “zinc spark”
This confirms the fact that human life begins at fertilization.

How it started: You'll own nothing and you'll be happy
How it's going: You'll own nothing, you won't be happy, so shut the f*ck up and comply

I can’t stop watching this drunk guy almost burn the entire wedding down. Just watch:
Holy Mother of Fuck...... This guy is a total mess. Just come out and say that you love the sniff! Your nostrils look like they're primed for a big line of *Mexican coke*. @RishiSunak I despise you more & more with every second that passes #excludeduk #cokehead

This lady had been confirmed as being one of the #ExcludedUK community.
People are dying due to your wilful ignorance @RishiSunak Shame on you.

No one is automatically entitled to an income. But if you can’t even fight for one because your livelihood's taken away, you’re helpless, and when the rest of the workforce is supported and you’re not, that's totally unfair, unjust and must be corrected with urgency! #ExcludedUK

We will be on the @ThisMorningShow @itv tomorrow morning with @TheMankster representing #Excludeduk. Please do tune in and show your support.

Rishi says "We stand together" in his graphics. Extension of #furlough is very well but what about the 3m #ExcludedUK freelancers, ltd company directors, newly self employed and others who have had ZERO support since March. Still nothing. He's not standing with @ExcludedUK – at Richmond, London

If PM confirms this, it’s beyond outrageous
What don’t they get about the self-employed?
Why is their work worth half of people on PAYE?
Why over 3m *still* excluded?
Aren’t Tories meant to be about entrepreneurship?
This is sickening & utterly unjust #ExcludedUK @ForgottenPAYE
Confirmed: Applications for the 3rd Self Employment Income Support Grant will be open on 14 December.
However the grant is still set to be 40% of trading profits - and only those eligible for the earlier grants will be eligible for this (so the #excludeduk are still excluded)

I hope @RishiSunak is about to help freelancers today, along with others represented by @ExcludedUK. It is morally and legally indefensible to leave 3 million taxpayers with no public support 👇
Thku for your support Andy, we’ve had £0 since march. How does the gov’t expect us to live indefinitely like this? #ForgottenFreelancers
Tom Stephens retweeted
The self-employed are the people we need to lead us out of the recession – to punish them right now would be like shooting your star striker’s right foot just before they take a penalty.
The Government MUST offer them the same support that they are giving to furloughed workers.
Tom Stephens retweeted
Welcome news about furlough extension- although it is not extended long enough.
But what about self-employed workers, including #excludedUK - Boris Johnson has left millions of people with no idea how they will pay bills, heat their homes or feed their families.
Tom Stephens retweeted
This does not include #ExcludedUK nor is it long enough. Support needs to be in place as long as public health measures are in place or @RishiSunak and @BorisJohnson will be condemning folk to unemployment. Rather than congratulating yourself take responsibility, show leadership.
Tom Stephens retweeted
Saving lives is the priority, but preventing hardship is vital too. Furlough extension is a relief, but self employed and previously excluded groups need clarity now or else they will fear that they won’t be able to pay the rent/mortgage or feed their kids.
Tom Stephens retweeted
Those who have already missed out on Government support have barely made it this far.
@RishiSunak said he was looking forward, not backwards.
You MUST learn from your mistakes and amend the job retention and furlough schemes going forward!

This is good news for many but also devastating for many others.
This scheme is generous but flawed, excluding 3+ million people leaving them without ANY income for over 8 months now.
Listen to the #GapsInSupport APPG - we have the solutions, you just need to listen!!
