It seems unbelievable that over six weeks since Sunak announced the measures, thousands who π€πππ ππ ππππ ππππππ¦ππππ‘ π€βππ πππππππ€π π π‘πππ‘ππ have still not received any financial support. Like people who started a new job after 28 February.
People like Tim, who shares his story in the piece. Tim is a chef who started a new job on 8th March - before the cut off date of 19 March. But Tim's boss can't furlough him; workers can only be furloughed if they were PAID before the 19 March. Tim is paid monthly, on the 28th. 
Too many people are falling through the gaps in the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, like my constituent Steven who is getting no support because of the payroll cut-off date for the scheme. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-new� @RutherglenRef #newstarterjustice #newstarterfurlough (1/3)
The Chancellor must act to expand support to people who are losing out through no fault of their own. I've written to him to expand the support available to those in work. #newstarterjustice #newstarterfurlough (2/3)
I'm also delighted to back the @NewStarterJust campaign and have signed their open letter calling for the Coroanvirus Job Retention Scheme to be expanded to those who started in new jobs and who missed the current payroll cut-off date. #newstarterjustice #newstarterfurlough (3/3)
