Please ensure you fight for all us who changed jobs recently and now have no income. Be fair to us, the taxpayer, and don’t leave us behind. @borisjohnson @ianblackford_MP @keir_starmer @EdwardJDavey #wearethetaxpayers #newstarterfurlough

#newstarterfurlogh #wearethetaxpayers since 1984 I have paid my tax, I'm 51, you have moved the pension age from 60 to 67, I've never claimed a penny, not even MAT leave as I carried on working and now you won't even give me furlough. @theresecoffey @RishiSunak

This is why it doesn’t work. It’s just an example, thousands have been rejected, new employers WANT to help. Change the date. @BorisJohnson @Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey @JohnPenroseNews #newstarterfurlough

@RishiSunak @MartinSLewis the #furlough scheme is now causing huge mental health problems. People are becoming desperate. This is NOT just an online issue. You are responsible for lives. Literally. HELP PEOPLE #newstarterfurlough
The whole 'but we need to avoid fraud' and so 'we need a cut off date' makes no sense. We have benefits that are open to anyone in a dire situation. HMRC investigates fraudulent claims, not stops people from claiming! Weak response by the gov't. #newstarterfurlough @RishiSunak
The awfulness of going back to an employer (whom you might have left in difficult circumstances) and asking them to activate your paid furlough because the rules don't allow you to get compensation via your new employer. #newstartfurlough

Understand Fraud but there is other ways we can verify being in new employment! Most of us have had a wage from new employers now! Telling us to apply for universal credit when it doesn't cover nearly enough of our expenses! Poor show :(

Well @RishiSunak it is lucky you started as Chancellor when you did in February... imagine how you would feel trying to support a family when you’ve ‘missed the cut off’ by a matter of days/weeks... #newstarterfurlough #AskRishi #NoOneLeftBehind

Chancellor, @RishiSunak, uv put important schemes in place to provide support for millions at unprecedented speed. Understandably that’s left unintended holes that sadly leave some in desperation. I’ve had 1,000s questions, so I've picked the 5 most common themes... #AskRishi

Thank you so much to @theJeremyVine for fighting our corner on @JeremyVineOn5, and thank you to the AMAZING @Louiseaileen70 for saying what needs to be said; “The policy needs to change!” @RishiSunak - change the rules! @EdwardJDavey’s letter has it! #newstarterfurlough #AskRishi

Thank you to @hassanrajwani for collecting content and making this incredible video on the #newstarterfurlough campaign. @rishisunak, thousands of hard-working people have fallen into this loophole in the #CJRS. #DearRishi, please help us. Include us in the scheme. We need it.
