📢 #IsItOK to campaign alongside 3.8 million excluded UK taxpayers for over SIX YEARS, promise them justice, then fall silent when you become Prime Minister? @andyburnham, we are still waiting for answers. #IsItOK that another #ExcludedUK member was made homeless last Friday... the fourth house last in the last SIX weeks!!! We thought you were trying to end homelessness?!?!!! For well over six years, Andy Burnham was one of the most vocal and passionate political supporters of #ExcludedUK, campaigning WITH us for the millions of hardworking UK taxpayers who were wholly or partially excluded from meaningful Covid-19 financial support. These included freelancers, the self-employed, small business owners, company directors and thousands of people, including those working in the TV and film industries, many of whom saw their livelihoods disappear overnight. Andy did not simply offer a few words of sympathy. He actively campaigned alongside us, co-hosting several events with Jennifer Griffiths, Head of ExcludedUK, speaking directly to our members, listening to their devastating experiences and repeatedly pledging his support. 🎥 WATCH THE ATTACHED VIDEO In this recording, Andy Burnham promises to pursue financial remedy AND a public apology for those so appallingly let down. He knew the human cost of exclusion. He knew that at least 40 people had taken their own lives, with their deaths reported to ExcludedUK in connection with the devastating consequences of being denied support. He has described the exclusion as "indefensible" and said a solution was "fair, proportionate and doable". Yet since becoming Prime Minister, the man who stood beside us for well over six years appears to have fallen silent. 📩 Our emails and messages to Andy Burnham have gone unanswered. 📩 Our correspondence to Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP has also failed to secure the answers and action we have been seeking. 💔 Families are still grieving. Lives and livelihoods remain shattered. People are still living with the financial and psychological consequences of decisions made more than six years ago. Attemtped suicides are still a regular occurence! Not even the promised apology has materialised. 💥 An apology costs NOTHING! No Treasury funding. No Budget allocation. No complicated financial calculations. An apology is FREE, and that is something we can ALL afford! So, Andy, we ask you: ❓ #IsItOK to promise hope to millions of people and then leave them waiting when you finally have the power to deliver? ❓ #IsItOK to acknowledge the devastating human cost of exclusion but still fail to provide even a public apology? ❓ #IsItOK for those who dutifully paid into the system, but were deliberately left out, to still be fighting for justice more than SIX YEARS later? Andy, you stood with us when you were campaigning. We need you to stand with us now that you are in power. 3.8 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. We are not going away. #ExcludedUK #IsItOK #TheLastLeg #AndyBurnham #JohnHealey #Channel4 #AdamHills #JoshWiddicombe #AlexBrooker #TVandFilm #Freelancers #SelfEmployed #Covid19 #CovidSupport #ExcludedFighter #WeAreNotGoingAway #Relentless

It's truly dreadful that people think the pandemic is over...when there are thousands still paying their Bounce Back LOANs...when the other 90% of UK taxpayers were awarded grants that they didn't have to pay back. #ExcludedUK don't have a problem with that, nobody would have survived without them... but why were 10% left out?!? Why was it OK for 1 member of ExcludedUK to take their own life, let alone 40... and they are the ones we have been notified about....there will be thousands more we don't know about... Last Friday another #ExcludedUK member lost their house as they could not keep up with mortgage AND BBL repayments.... how is that even allowed??!!? @MartinSLewis your team told Head of #ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, that you could not campaign with us any longer as you were concentrating on your own projects... but nothing has changed since you last campaigned with us...in fact, it has got worse... more people have lost homes, businesses, personal possessions, and lives! Please help us... I know you are busy, but despite all his promises, @andyburnham has gone quiet on us! Jennifer is still dealing with attempted suicides and the families of those who have taken their own life as a result of being excluded... it is just not right! Please email Jennifer and work out a way to help us. jennifer@excludeduk.org excludeduk.org

Now we know why he refuses to stand up for our #ExcludedUK members in #Camborne & #Redruth of whom many are suffering after receiving not a penny of support, over 28 unanswered emails and now blocked. They deserve accountability and the justice you campaigned for @andyburnham?

@RishiSunak promised no one would be left behind. Yet 3.8m #ExcludedUK received £0 Covid support and now in dire hardship, so our members in #BuryStEdmunds now lean on you Peter to join the @APPGGapsSupport and hold @AndyBurnham to his pledge of redress. @buryfree @ExcludedUK

Like they promised no one would be left behind. But actually deliberately denied income replacement to 3.8 million of us who were told to close shop/stop work during lockdowns. Costing his life savings, homes, retirement plans, & at least 40 suicides. @ExcludedUK #ExcludedUK

91 days as @10DowningStreet and @andyburnham is STILL IGNORING 3.8 MILLION #excludeduk hardworking taxpayers! Is he going to a man of his words? 👇👇👇 @ExcludedFighter @ExcludedUK @susannareid100 @GMB @cathynewman @UKLabour @LBC @MartinSLewis

Its time @AndyBurnham to deliver on your pledge. With winter closing in, 3.8 million #ExcludedUK workers, small businesses and families can't wait any longer. Deliver the justice YOU fought for, NOW, NOT later!! @ExcludedUK @APPGGapsSupport @Daily_Express @DailyMirror @GMB @PA

@AlecShelbrooke. The state must also apologise to 3.8 million #ExcludedUK people forced into poverty, and @andyburnham called for financial restitution before the last GE, so now he is PM he must honour his words and deliver justice. @UKLabour @LibDems covid19.public-inquiry.uk/co…

He’d be more popular if he delivers on promises to help struggling individuals & families among @ExcludedUK (representing millions of taxpayers denied income replacement in pandemic). Will he live up to his word? Or turn his back on us like the Tories? @labourpress #ExcludedUK

If @AndyBurnhamGM wants the Burnham bounce to soar he must deliver for us #ExcludedUK voters left politically homeless by 4 failed PMs. As Mayor he championed our cause. NOW honour your long-fought commitments to financial redress. Hope= justice @10DowningStreet @APPGGapsSupport

@andyburnham honour your promises to @ExcludedUK. We & our families were abandoned by government during the covid crisis. Many won’t ever recover financially having lost home, life savings & retirement plans. Help prevent more su1c1d€$. #ExcludedUK @labourpress @darrenpjones

@KemiBadenoch. Wrong as 350,000 veterans were among the 3.8 million #ExcludedUK people shamefully denied COVID support by Sunak Apologise, then back our @APPGGapsSupport who are urging @andyburnham now as the @UKLabour PM to deliver the restitution that he long campaigned for?

HA! You’ve got a nerve. Tories DELIBERATELY abandoned 3.8 million taxpayers in the pandemic. Many SME owners among them who lost it all. Many lost homes, life savings, businesses & ruined retirement plans. Not to mention many took their life. @ExcludedUK #ExcludedUK @labourpress

@KemiBadenoch. Prove it. Apologise for Sunak abandoning 350,000+ veterans, and with 40 #ExcludedUK suicides and 3 since @UKLabour took office. Join @MP4Stratford @EstherMcVey1 & Sir Graham Brady's calls at @APPGGapsSupport for @andyburnham to deliver the redress he campaigned for

While Families face another COL squeeze, so many #ExcludedUK families have remained in crisis since March 2020, so when will @EdDavey act on his commitment to me outside conf and call on @AndyBurnham to deliver the restitution he long demanded? @MP4Stratford @APPGGapsSupport

Kemi, if the Conservatives have learnt the lessons of the past. PROVE IT. Apologise for @RishiSunak abandoning 3.8 million #ExcludedUK voters and join @APPGGapsSupport's calls for @andyburnham now as @UKLabour PM to deliver on his pledge for financial restitution? @UniteSharon

We are ready to discuss financial asks that are fair, proportionate and achievable. After more than six years, the 3.8 million cannot simply be written off. Businesses, homes, livelihoods and futures were lost. More than 40 members of our community saw no other way out than to take their own lives. Recognition is fair. Accountability is proportionate. Justice is doable. Prime Minister, let us begin that work. Please email Head of ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, at jennifer@excludeduk.org excludeduk.org #ExcludedUK #WeAreNotGoingAway #Relentless

WORDS MATTER… ACTION MATTERS MORE! On 24 June 2024, during an ExcludedUK livestream, @AndyBurnham spoke clearly about what could still be done for the 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support. He said: “I think there are ways we can start to frame financial asks that I think are fair, proportionate and doable.” More than two years later, those words remain just as important. Andy has consistently been one of ExcludedUK’s strongest political supporters. He recognised that what happened to the 3.8 million was not simply an unfortunate consequence of the pandemic response. It was an injustice. He told our community: “The public see you and the public support you.” He also pledged: “We will work with you to make sure that the excluded is recognised as one of the injustices that this country needs to rectify.” And he was unequivocal that time did not diminish that commitment: “I supported you back in the pandemic, and we support you now. The passage of time doesn’t change that.” Today, as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham is in a position to help turn those commitments into meaningful action. #ExcludedUK is ready to work constructively with the Prime Minister and the Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG to explore financial redress that is fair, proportionate and achievable. Because after more than six years, the consequences cannot simply be forgotten. Businesses were lost... and are still being lost! Homes were lost...and reposessions continue... Livelihoods and futures were destroyed.. yep! Still ongoing! More than 40 members of our community saw no other way out than to take their own lives....and they are only the ones we have been made aware of! The 3.8 million deserve more than acknowledgement of what happened. They deserve recognition, accountability and justice. Recognition is fair. Accountability is proportionate. Justice is doable. Prime Minister, the opportunity is now there to begin that work. Please contact Head of ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, at jennifer@excludeduk.org excludeduk.org #ExcludedUK #WeAreNotGoingAway #Relentless @UKLabour @APPGGapsSupport

Andy Burnham stood with ExcludedUK when others looked away. We welcome his commitment to hope and justice. Now turn those words into action for the 3.8 million taxpayers excluded from Covid support. Andy is for us. Bring back the hope! #ExcludedUK #Relentless
