Apart from trashing Prince William's reputation, it absolutely is an invasion of his privacy and a total violation of trust. Shame on, Prince Harry.

No one is automatically entitled to an income. But if you can’t even fight for one because your livelihood's taken away, you’re helpless, and when the rest of the workforce is supported and you’re not, that's totally unfair, unjust and must be corrected with urgency!

Thank you all for your responses. There is disastrous unfairness! People are falling through the cracks Not surprising given the complexity! If there are truly 3m excluded why only 25k followers? I ask not to be contentious but to try to understand detail?
The preposterous 14 day quarantine rule comes in today. How can we be introducing at this late hour when europe has a lower incidence of infection than the UK? This will extend further massive economic damage to the tourist industry for no gain! Any intelligent reasons please?
In another recent conversation about my backing of

's campaign, I was asked specifically about whether
@hmtreasury
’s refusal to help would mean the loss of a whole generation of entrepreneurs.
Here’s what I said.
#ExcludedUK
If this had happened to me when I was starting out, it would've destroyed my business– and I went on to create 12,000 jobs.
Helping
#ExcludedUK
isn't only the fair thing to do, it is right for the economy. Post-pandemic, we can't recover if 3m taxpayers are completely decimated.
The future quarantine rules regarding entry to the UK coming in on the 8th of June do seem wrong on every level! They should have been imposed 2 months ago and eased off now what do you all think?
As I’ve said in several interviews, I understand their distress - if this had happened to me, it would have destroyed my business.
Ignoring these people is short-sighted for the economy – I went on to create 12,000 UK jobs.

Government should also extend business rates holidays, VAT discounts and furlough. Don’t impose premature cut-offs: just say these will continue until we get out of this.

My principle is very simple no one and no business should be worse of as a result of Corona. We (the government) have the luxury of achieving this down to incredibly low interest rates. In fact we can't afford not to do this otherwise the long term cost will be far greater!
We hoped 2021 was going to see the end of this wretched pandemic. A year on, there's still so much uncertainty. But, overall, we are in a better place, and I am confident better times still are ahead.
My family and I wish you a healthy, happy, prosperous new year.
