We will remain the upstanding, law abiding citizens we've always been and together we'll hit back.
Imagine the fear of heading into another full lockdown with no support for nearly 10 months. This simply must be addressed ASAP

The government has known that it needs to support people who can't work during lockdowns for almost a year now. If

chooses to ignore us again then this isn’t about being too complicated or fraud it will be a targeted scheme showing his lack of humanity.

This changes absolutely nothing. I’m disappointed in the announcement but I’m certainly not surprised. We have MP support, we have media support, we have each other and we have hope. Stay strong, stay focused and take time if you need it but please do not give up.

@JohnDCaudwell
If this is true, it is morally indefensible for 3 million people to continue to be left without financial support. Time for Parliament to act if the Government won’t.
Today was tough, really tough especially as we’ve learnt of another two people that could no longer continue their journey. This must end now! We might not save every job or business but we must save people!!!
