#Martinlewis we have RTI done at month end. Over 1 million left out of CJRS not 100,000 as @RishiSunak stated .. uc is not the answer .. we are tax payers too! It’s indiscriminate- what is being done to fill this gap. We’re sick of being fobbed off and ignored #newstarterjustice

Chuffed the Chancellor has just announced a furlough extension that looks very similar to the @LibDems plan I proposed Now he must look at my @LibDems plans for new starter employees excluded from furlough & those self-employed not covered by any scheme bbc.co.uk/news/business-5263…

The furlough Job Retention Scheme will be extended until the end of October 2020; we now need it to be inclusive of all workers, especially those excluded to date.

Thanks Paul - A great letter very well put! Rishi needs to stop this injustice now! This week will be 2 months with no money for many good people @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab #newstarterjustice #leftbehind
I've pressed @RishiSunak to change the rule blocking workers in new jobs from being furloughed. @NewStarterJust paulblomfield.co.uk/news/202…

Please help us to highlight our crisis as so many are left with £0 income for the 2nd month. We are having to use foodbanks yet we’ve never been unemployed until this virus #iamnotatradeoff #newstarterjustice
Replying to @DavidLammy
So so many could be saved from such desperate crisis if @RishiSunak would listen to the pleas of the hundreds of thousands of New starters abandoned by the JRS. Kate could I please present the #newstarterjustice Open Letter for more context? We need help. newstarterjustice.co.uk/our-…

Thanks so much for your support @MelJStride Simplest way to do it is this - 1. Employers forced to rehire ex-employees. 2. Extend RTI date to end of March. 3. Check employment contracts, evidence of emails for those with jobs #newstartersfurlough #newstarterjustice

Several constituents have raised they are exempt from gov's furlough scheme because they started a new job in February - the cut off date to receive support So I wrote to @RishiSunak with #newstarterfurlough plan, a solution proposed by my colleague @EdwardJDavey

Hi @grahamstuart This is my story. There are hundreds of thousands more like me. We need your help to get an amendment to the CJRS which allows for our employment evidence to be considered. Will you help us? #newstarterjustice #newstarterfurlough

What baffles me is that the Government say they support people trying to develop and better themselves yet are not supporting new starters who did just that. We were our new Employers top choice but now we have no job and they have lost us as can’t furlough. Not job retention !

Start new job 04/03 and @RishiSunak sacked me on 28/03 because the RTI. My partner work in care home at £8.72 her wages dose not even cover rent, I'm not eligible for any benefits. They took my job, pride, dignity, food. Only option left suicide Mentally sick #newstarterfurlough

Sadly despite recent changes to the job retention scheme, thousands of new starters are still falling through the cracks and many face financial ruin. Not everyone employed by 19th March is able to qualify. Govt must urgently address this loophole.
We are not trade-offs. We are not collateral damage. We are real people with real lives. We are New Starter Justice. #newstarterjustice #iamnotatradeoff

My questions @CommonsTreasury to @SteveBarclay on the #JRS. Hundreds of thousands of workers are still left out of the scheme. The government must address the flaws in its financial schemes to help people survive this crisis. youtu.be/UgHWDxkEzGA
