#LestWeForget. 4 Prime Ministers failed our Veterans. Now as PM the silence continues. Those who served deserve more than just words. Will @andyburnham and his @UKLabour GOV deliver justice, recognition and the redress promised?

"No one who has served our country should be sleeping rough on our streets" says @andyburnham
We couldn't agree more. However, you know full well that among the 3.8 MILLION UK taxpayers excluded from Government financial support during the Covid-19 pandemic were Armed Forces y served their country, only to find themselves abandoned when they needed help.
Some lost their businesses, their livelihoods and ultimately their homes. These were people who had served and protected our country, yet when a national crisis struck, their own Government failed to protect them.
You have stood alongside ExcludedUK for years, publicly acknowledging the devastating injustice inflicted upon our members. You repeatedly promised that you would NEVER stop fighting for us until justice was done.
Yet here we are, more than six years after the pandemic began, still waiting.
Surely those who served our country deserve more than warm words? Surely they deserve the same compassion, dignity and protection that you are now publicly calling for?
We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for the promises you made to be honoured.
Prime Minister, what about the veterans who lost their homes BECAUSE they were excluded? What are you going to do for THEM?
3.8 million taxpayers. Lives and livelihoods destroyed. Promises still unfulfilled.
We dutifully paid in, but were deliberately left out!

Absolutely it is. They should claw the money back from any assets and give it to those millions who were #Excluded from any financial support, deliberately by @RishiSunak Give it to @ExcludedUK @ForgottenLtd @ExcludedFighter etc. A total scam it was!
And around £1bn of the £1.7bn spent on PPE from VIP suppliers was wasted on supplies later deemed unfit to use.
This is a huge scandal.

This is another example of a scandal and utter injustice to millions of people. The #ExcludedUK deserve justice. #excludedscandal @ExcludedFighter @ExcludedUnity @ExcludedNeedJu1
After 4 years campaigning on Twitter, outside Parliament and political Conferences for the #ExcludedUK abandoned by Rishi Sunak, you have made my day @susannareid100 @edballs @Kevin_Maguire
We need justice, and we need it now!

I was #ExcludedUK during the times that Britain was told 'we are all in this together'/'no one will be left behind, by @RishiSunak . Well 3.8 million tax payers were.......... PLEASE give us HOPE
After discussing the #ExcludedUK’s plight with @Kevin_Maguire at Labour Conf, he promised to speak to you Susanna and use his platform, so please use yours again. Andy must deliver the justice and financial restitution he long championed.
Our community urgently needs action!!

I am sadly beginning to lose faith in @andyburnham.
He was one of the loudest supporters of @ExcludedUK* during & after the pandemic (*campaign group representing 3.8 million UK taxpayers who were deliberately denied income replacement despite being told to stop work/close businesses etc).
Hewavering support to right the injustice, seek financial restitution, & get a government apology for the abandonment of so many citizens in a crisis, which affected our dependents too;
Lost homes, life savings, retirement plans, life changing debt, & lives lost to suicide.
Sadly now he’s in power he’s turned his back on us like the Tories did.
Shame. I honestly thought he may have been different…

🚨 ANDY BURNHAM, PLEASE REMEMBER THE PROMISES YOU MADE TO EXCLUDEDUK! 🚨
Six and a half years. 3.8 million taxpayers. Countless promises. Still no justice.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham, this video is a reminder of the commitments you have made to ExcludedUK and the millions of ed parity of Covid-19 financial support.
You have been one of our loudest and most consistent political champions since the beginning of our campaign.
You have listened to our stories, spoken at our events, stood alongside our members and repeatedly acknowledged the devastating injustice we have suffered.
You even co-hosted several events with our Head of ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, including the livestream in June 2024, when you told us:
🗣️ “The public see you and the public support you.”
🗣️ “The passage of time doesn’t change that.”
🗣️ “The level of injustice that you have faced is indefensible.”
🗣️ “We will work with you to make sure that the excluded is recognised as one of the injustices that this country needs to rectify.”
You also spoke about financial remedies that could be “fair, proportionate and doable.”
Those words gave people hope, Andy. Real hope.
For some of our members, that hope was the very thing that kept them going when everything else seemed lost.
But the years have passed. Businesses have disappeared. Homes have been lost. Families have been torn apart. Tragically, we know of more than 40 people who died by suicide, with exclusion contributing to the devastating circumstances they faced.
We cannot bring those people back. But we CAN honour their memories by ensuring that this injustice is finally acknowledged and addressed.
Today, you are no longer campaigning from outside Westminster.
You are the Prime Minister.
We understand that financial redress requires careful consideration, political will and public money.
But an apology costs NOTHING.
Not a penny.
Yet even that basic acknowledgement of what happened to 3.8 million hardworking, taxpaying people has still not been forthcoming.
We are asking you to honour your commitments:
✅ Deliver a full and frank public apology
✅ Meet with ExcludedUK, our APPG and representatives of the bereaved families and those who survived suicide attempts
✅ Work with us towards a fair, proportionate and achievable financial remedy
✅ Recognise the devastating and continuing consequences of exclusion
Andy, you once told us that the passage of time does not change the injustice. We agree.
We haven't forgotten your words, and we haven't given up on you.
Please don't give up on us.
🎥 WATCH THE VIDEO. LISTEN TO YOUR OWN WORDS. REMEMBER THE PEOPLE YOU PROMISED TO HELP.

Dutifully paid in. Deliberately left out.
