1. OPEN LETTER TO THE LOAN CHARGE APPG @loanchargeAPPG

I feel compelled to write this open letter to the members of the Loan Charge APPG.

Firstly let me thank your members for all their hard work & support to date for those affected by the #LoanCharge

2. @loanchargeAPPG Please excuse any clumsy language or incorrect assumptions, if they do not apply to you, but I am less eloquent than most MPs.

50k to 100k now have less than a week before the #LoanCharge deadline. This is desparate times, many face ruin.

3. To the 76 members of the @loanchargeAPPG who have signed the letter to @RishiSunak asking for a delay to the #LoanCharge deadline I salute you all for your unwavering support. But I must ask where are the signatures from the other 159 members? Where are these MPs when needed.

4. To the 159 members of the @loanchargeAPPG who have not signed do you appreciate the stress & extra hardship you are causing people affected by the #LoanCharge.  Is it not enough that our free time is taken up dealing with tax letters that we need to chase you as well?

5. The commitment of the @LCAG_2019 MP team is unwavering, but they have jobs & families, why are you causing them & everyone else affected more work & stress by having to push the 159 members of the @loanchargeAPPG to sign the open letter to @RishiSunak to delay the #LoanCharge?

6. How difficult is it to confirm that you support & sign the open letter to @RishiSunak calling for a delay to #LoanCharge deadline? Surely that takes less than 10 minutes? Wasn't the reason the 159 joined the @loanchargeAPPG to support us, not cause more stress and work?

7. So to the 159 members who haven't signed, if you want to be able to look @EdwardJDavey , @RuthCadbury , Sir Mike Penning, Baroness Kramer, @eastantrimmp & @OwenThompson in the eye when you next attend a @loanchargeAPPG meeting...contd.
#LoanCharge

8. Whether you attend @loanchargeAPPG to help those affected by #LoanCharge or just to get out of your office for an hour, network with MPs, grab a coffee etc. sign the letter to @RishiSunak today. Now is the time to stand up & be counted to help those in a desparate situation.

9. To the 157 @loanchargeAPPG MPs who haven't signed don't make me have to Tweet this to you individually. We won't ever forget those MPs that have helped or those that deserted us in this time of need.

#LoanCharge

10. Also once you have signed the letter then push to get this raised in the @HouseofCommons this week. We are in the middle of a pandemic, many have no work & @HMRCgovuk are permitted to push forward with the #LoanCharge unchecked by those that govern.
