Spot on from the Shadow Chancellor. The Government needs to stop forcing people to decide between feeding their families and self-isolating.
Self-isolation is essential to stopping the spread of Covid-19. SAGE experts say financial hardship, deprivation and inability to work from home have been obstacles. Media reports suggest the Treasury disagrees. I’ve written to the Chancellor to ask if this is true.

My brain decided that 4.30am was a perfectly reasonable time to awaken. After fidgeting frustratedly for 90 minutes I got up to find this gem of a programme on @BBCRadio3 I was already waking early to hear @elizabethalker's show. What a brilliant start to weekends.
We all need music in times like these, and it’s been a dream of mine to commission this. Introducing two brand new music mix series - #Tearjerker with @JorjaSmith & #DowntimeSymphony with @Celeste - starting this weekend on @BBCSounds & @BBCRadio3. metro.co.uk/2021/01/14/jorja…

Company directors are NOT self employed, they are employees of companies. There can be NO discrimination allowed, to only support one type of employee; PAYE freelancers, permanent employees, short term contracts, limb workers, casual workers. @RefusedG support ALL PAYE employees

The furlough scheme has resulted in some employees being eligible for the scheme but still being denied access if their employer refuses to apply for them. These people paid their taxes and should receive support if they need it. Read our paper here: centrethinktank.co.uk/public…

The people’s champion @MartinSLewis will always be held in the highest esteem by the 3 million #ExcludedUK. Can’t thank him enough.
🗣”[they] may well become a burden on the welfare state, through no fault of their own but because of short-sighted policy making.” @MartinSLewis tells @TherealNihal about workers who have been excluded from financial aid from the government. Listen on @BBCSounds

Staggering numbers. How can the government sleep at night knowing they have forced such hardship on hard working, tax payers. #excludedUK. @AndyBurnhamGM @JohnDCaudwell @MartinSLewis

Research by @The_TUC has shown that in their survey 71% of working mothers were refused furlough by their employers. Its why we need to give workers a separate access route into the furlough scheme. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021…

We believe that the current furlough system needs to be improved to ensure everyone has equal access. All employees should have access to the system if they need it, not just having to rely on their employer. Read our full plan here: centrethinktank.co.uk/expand…

It would seem that @APPGGapsSupport has excluded over 800,000 employees from their proposal, so we sent ours to @hmtreasury just in time for their kind consideration! @gregwrightYP @MirrorPolitics @Jesse_Norman

Disappointing the British Treasury refuses to recognise that for some employers the cost of making contributions to the furlough scheme is a struggle and is putting jobs at risk. Thanks to Minister @conormurphysf for his continuing representations on behalf of businesses here👇🏻

Almost 2 million unemployed now and who knows where it will end. All the schemes so far have just delayed the inevitable. There are 3 million who would help to resurrect the economy but a chunk of them will not put into the economy but will join the queue for welfare @RishiSunak
Correct time for some parity?
