Our open letter to @RishiSunak signed by over 200 BBC PAYE #forgottenfreelancers asking why we have been #leftbehind. The #Chancellor says we have "not been forgotten". We disagree. How can this be fair? Read here: 👉 yumpu.com/s/N39SwVCnlOIHTvhE #ExcludedUK #workers

Sad to hear that the wonderful Pamela Morton is leaving the @NUJ_LFB - I'm sure she helped and supported many of us freelance members over the years. Wishing you all the best in your new post 💐

Absolutely fuming. My daughter has just told me her teacher at school has been talking about this election and a referendum and managed to tell my daughter that Scotland’s independence would make it expensive to live and to travel here. And pretty much we can’t go it alone .Ffs

The wonderful @RefugeeCafe in Lewisham does invaluable work educating and informing residents and helping refugees at a difficult time. Please support their work or share crowdfunder.co.uk/refugeecaf… #HomeForRefugeeCafe
Nobody should be relying on funding platforms to survive. This is what taxes and the safety net they should pay should be used for. Solidarity with everyone left behind.
Heartbreaking that so many individuals are in desperate need of help. This is one of many go fund me pages set up, strangers donating to keep people alive. 💔 #ExcludedUK #ForgottenLtd #forgottenPAYE gofundme.com/f/helplisasurri…

Today is the 18th anniversary of the death of Tom Hurndall, a young photographer shot by the Israeli Defence Force while assisting children he saw being shot at; this tragic occasion will never go unnoticed by the many who work for peace around the world.

Peter Oborne cuts a lonely figure in British journalism with his willingness to understand and discuss the true scale of media bias.

"To use the word viable is ridiculous… it means nothing. All these jobs are viable because they will come back."

Utterly disguising. Every penny should be paid back. This is our money! As a UK taxpayer who has no offshore anything - I demand my money back!

Cineworld has vacancies across the UK for Starbucks Supervisors. Many supervisors accepted redundancy in October when their only option was redundancy or unpaid leave - an extremely difficult decision to make. These staff members should be reinstated.

Thread. Please RT.
I'm scared to say this publically, but I feel I need to. Recently I was fired from a show on a major TV channel because I needed a day off for mental health reasons. I made the mistake of being honest, instead of pretending to have a physical sickness.

6 years ago before I trained as a nurse I had £40 in my account after pay day. But today I have £17...I know you thought this would be inspirational, but no, it’s not, I’m still broke despite becoming a professional.

Astonished and appalled that @CarolineLucas has signed this.
Disgraceful that @CarolineLucas has signed this ridiculous letter calling on Bristol University to fire David Miller for the crime of anti-Zionism.
Defend academic freedom. Defend Palestinians, who are always the first to be thrown under the bus.

Good news for some, but it sounds like @BBCfreelancers like me will still miss out as more than 50% of my 2019-20 income was PAYE from BBC public service who insisted they were told by govt they couldn’t furlough us.

How dare you Laura Kuenssberg , and the BBC ...produce a whole pre-budget segment and fail to mention those #ExcludedUK from any support for almost a year, which includes Freelancers who produce YOUR content!
