Today marks six years since the UK went into full lockdown. Six years on, most people want to believe the pandemic is long over. For thousands of excluded people, it is not over at all. They are still paying the price every single day. While 90% of the population received Covid support that did not have to be repaid, many excluded taxpayers were forced to survive by taking on Bounce Back Loans, maxing out overdrafts and running up credit card debt just to eat, keep their homes and try to save their businesses. That was not support. That was state-backed abandonment. Six years later, people are still trapped in debt from a national emergency they did not cause. Still losing businesses. Still losing homes. Still living with the mental and financial devastation of being shut out and left behind. They did everything this country asked of them. They worked hard. Paid taxes. Built businesses. Contributed for years. And when the country closed, they were denied meaningful help and told to borrow instead. The lockdown ended. The injustice did not. This is why ExcludedUK, together with the Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG, is still fighting for justice, because this is not a historic wrong that can be quietly forgotten. It is a live scandal that is still destroying lives now. Six years on, the debt remains. The damage remains. The fight remains. 3.8 Million UK taxpayers were excluded from parity of Covid-19 financial support, yet they were told they could not work or open their businesses. That is 10% of the UK workforce…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?!?! Please ask your MP to join our ‘Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG’ by either sending us a DM on here, or emailing excludeduk@hotmail.com All officer positions have been taken, but they are invited to be an ordinary member. They do not even have to attend the meetings as they will be emailed all progress after each meeting. We look forward to hearing from your MP to let us know they would like to be added to the register. DID YOU GET LITTLE OR NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT DURING COVID? Were you excluded from fair and equal Covid-19 financial support? If so, join some of the other 3.8 million UK taxpayers who were, as we campaign for this scandal to be put right.. bit.ly/3UunLTY Dutifully paid in, deliberately left out!

@jessicaelgot @PA. We must not let @AndyBurnhamGM backtrack on his firm commitment. After six years of championing the #ExcludedUK now forced into abject poverty and also now battered by the cost-of-living crisis. Andy do not let us down at @ExcludedUK. x.com/i/status/1805195528260…

Today I heard heartbreaking stories of people falling through the cracks in the Government’s support schemes. It’s staggering that millions who need financial help continue to receive nothing. The Chancellor must act immediately. @ExcludedUK @ITVLondon

If you are one of 3.8 Million taxpayers hung out to dry by this Tory Gov with no meaningful Covid-19 financial support 👇 @AndyBurnhamGM talking to @ExcludedUK today. 1: Financial restitution from the next @UKLabour Gov 2: Clawed back fraud money should go to the #ExcludedUK!

Further to our chat today @GullisJonathan, where you disagreed with me that the #ExcludedUK have not been pulverised We our glad that you want to listen to this in more detail, by accepting my invite to join the @ExcludedUK Zooms, and then we can talk about immediate redress.

As 2m #forgottenLtd businesses begin another month in lockdown & 7.5m jobs hang in the balance @RishiSunak confirms that the exclusions from support are a policy decision. We suggest that a change of policy is urgently needed. #lockedout @elliereeves @DavidDavisMP @MPIainDS

With the upcoming #GortonandDentonByElection followed by those in #Scotland #Wales and #London, it is in your political interest to put country before party and compel @UKLabour to now address the #ExcludedUK Scandal @ExcludedUK #Plymouth @Plymouth_Live x.com/i/status/1243231847024…

2248 days on Andy, it is beyond "unforgivable" that four Prime Minister's and five Chancellor's have all callously ignored the plight of #ExcludedUK members in #Makerfield and millions more families. Is "HOPE" finally on the horizon for justice @ExcludedUK x.com/i/status/1333426996110…
