It's truly dreadful that people think the pandemic is over...when there are thousands still paying their Bounce Back LOANs...when the other 90% of UK taxpayers were awarded grants that they didn't have to pay back. #ExcludedUK don't have a problem with that, nobody would have survived without them... but why were 10% left out?!?
Why was it OK for 1 member of ExcludedUK to take their own life, let alone 40... and they are the ones we have been notified about....there will be thousands more we don't know about...
Last Friday another #ExcludedUK member lost their house as they could not keep up with mortgage AND BBL repayments.... how is that even allowed??!!? @MartinSLewis your team told Head of #ExcludedUK, Jennifer Griffiths, that you could not campaign with us any longer as you were concentrating on your own projects... but nothing has changed since you last campaigned with us...in fact, it has got worse... more people have lost homes, businesses, personal possessions, and lives!
Please help us... I know you are busy, but despite all his promises, @andyburnham has gone quiet on us!
Jennifer is still dealing with attempted suicides and the families of those who have taken their own life as a result of being excluded... it is just not right!
Please email Jennifer and work out a way to help us. [email protected]

🙏It was so lovely to see you outside Parliament for the #Budget for 3.8 million #ExcludedUK and our families, thank you for your support and agreeing that as @UKLabour PM, the man of the people @andyburnham must NOW
honour his words of restitution✊
@ExcludedUK
FAIR. PROPORTIONATE. DOABLE.
In this video from our ExcludedUK livestream on 24 June 2024, @AndyBurnham said:
“I think there are ways we can start to frame financial asks that I think are fair, proportionate and doable.”
Those words matter even more today.
Andy has been our loudest political champion from the beginning of the ExcludedUK campaign.
He has recognised that the exclusion of 3.8 million UK taxpayers from parity of Covid-19 financial support was not simply unfortunate.
It was an injustice that must be rectified.
He told us: “The public see you and the public support you.”
He promised: “We will work with you to make sure that the excluded is recognised as one of the injustices that this country needs to rectify.”
He also made clear: “I supported you back in the pandemic, and we support you now. The passage of time doesn’t change that.”
Now, as Prime Minister, Andy has the opportunity to work with ExcludedUK and the Gaps in Covid-19 Financial Support APPG to turn those words into action.
We are ready to discuss financial asks that are fair, proportionate and achievable.
After more than six years, the 3.8 million cannot simply be written off. Businesses, homes, livelihoods and futures were lost.
More than 40 members of our community saw no other way out than to take their own lives.
Recognition is fair. Accountability is proportionate.
Justice is doable.
Prime Minister, let us begin that work.

🚨 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 taxpayers who were denied 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.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has spent more than six years publicly championing the plight of the estimated 3.8 million UK taxpayers excluded from meaningful Covid-19 financial support.
Now ExcludedUK is reminding him of 20 promises and commitments captured on video, as the Government delivers its first Autumn Budget under his leadership.
Words of support. Promises of action. Commitments to justice. Reassurances that the campaign would not be forgotten.
All caught on camera. All waiting to be honoured.
For years, Andy Burnham was one of ExcludedUK's most vocal political supporters, participating in numerous campaign events and repeatedly expressing his determination to see the injustice rectified.
Now, as Prime Minister, he has the opportunity to turn those words into meaningful action.
Jennifer Griffiths, Head of ExcludedUK, who personally co-hosted several events with Andy Burnham, said:
"Andy Burnham was one of our loudest and most passionate political champions. I co-hosted several events with him, and time and time again, he made commitments to support our fight for justice.
"He told us financial redress was fair, proportionate and doable. He spoke about the injustice being indefensible. He understood the devastation caused to people who had dutifully paid into the system, only to be abandoned when they needed help most.
"He pledged to pursue an apology. He spoke about putting things right. He told us that the passage of time did not change the injustice.
"Now he is Prime Minister, and we are still waiting.
"Not even the apology has materialised. An apology costs absolutely nothing, yet six years later, we are still waiting for that too.
"Andy, we believed you. Our members believed you. Your words gave people hope when many had absolutely none left.
"Those commitments were not whispered behind closed doors. They were made publicly, repeatedly, and we have them on video.
"Twenty promises and commitments. Twenty reminders of the hope you gave us. Twenty reasons why we are not going away.
"You told us this injustice could and should be rectified. Now you have the authority to help make that happen.
"Prime Minister, we are holding you to your word."
THE AUTUMN BUDGET: WHERE IS THE JUSTICE FOR EXCLUDED TAXPAYERS?
As Chancellor John Healey delivers the Government's Autumn Budget today, ExcludedUK is demanding answers about the continuing absence of a financial remedy for those excluded from the Covid-19 support schemes.
The Chancellor has promised a Budget focused on supporting British businesses, easing financial pressures and restoring hope.
ExcludedUK recognises the importance of helping households, businesses and the self-employed through today's economic challenges.
However, the campaign questions how the Government can speak of fairness and opportunity while the financial devastation experienced by excluded taxpayers remains unresolved.
During the pandemic, billions of pounds were distributed through Government financial support schemes, yet an estimated 3.8 million taxpayers found themselves falling through the gaps.
Many were self-employed workers, limited company directors, freelancers, new starters, people on maternity leave and small business owners.
They were taxpayers who had contributed to the country's finances, only to discover that the support available to others was inaccessible to them.
Dutifully paid in. Deliberately left out.
The consequences have been catastrophic.
Businesses have closed. Family homes have been lost. Relationships have broken down. People's physical and mental health has deteriorated.
Tragically, the campaign has also supported families bereaved by suicide and members who have survived suicide attempts.
For these people, the impact of exclusion did not end when lockdown restrictions were lifted.
Jennifer Griffiths continued:
"We hear politicians talk about supporting entrepreneurs, investing in small businesses and rewarding hardworking taxpayers.
"Yet what about those taxpayers who lost everything because they were excluded from the financial lifelines offered to others?
"How can we talk about rebuilding Britain's economy without acknowledging the businesses that were destroyed and the people whose financial security was shattered?
"You cannot build a fairer Britain by continuing to overlook those who were unfairly excluded.
"We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for parity, accountability and justice.
"Every Budget that passes without addressing this injustice is another reminder of the promises that remain unfulfilled."
EXCLUDEDUK TAKES THE EVIDENCE DIRECTLY TO PARLIAMENT
Today, Wednesday 28 October 2026, ExcludedUK is taking its message directly to Westminster.
A digital video van is circulating Parliament Square between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm, displaying powerful testimonies from excluded taxpayers, the human consequences of exclusion and the political commitments made to the campaign.
The van is taking the voices of those who have been ignored for more than six years directly to the heart of Government.
The campaign is also drawing attention to footage of Andy Burnham's repeated commitments to ExcludedUK.
Watch the video of his promises here:
youtu.be/Yjm6ag4m1xI
WHAT EXCLUDEDUK IS DEMANDING
Our three demands remain unchanged:
1. An apology from Government so this injustice is recognised, together with an assurance that this will never happen again.
2. Parity of support.
3. Acknowledgement of loss of earnings/profit and consequential loss.
These demands are not new. They are the same fundamental principles of fairness and accountability that ExcludedUK has been fighting for since May 2020.
We dutifully paid in, but were deliberately left out.
Lives and livelihoods lost.
More than 40 lives have been lost to suicide among those affected by exclusion, according to ExcludedUK's records, while our dedicated mental health and welfare team has provided vital support to hundreds of people experiencing severe distress.
"PRIME MINISTER, WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN. HAVE YOU?"
Jennifer Griffiths concluded:
"Andy Burnham once told us that the passage of time did not change the injustice. He was right.
"Six years have passed, but those words are as relevant today as they were when he first spoke them.
"The difference is that he is no longer simply a politician offering support from the sidelines.
"He is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
"He has the opportunity to demonstrate that those promises were more than words.
"Twenty promises and commitments, all captured on video. Millions of taxpayers still waiting for justice.
"To those who have lost their businesses, their homes, their livelihoods and, in some tragic cases, their loved ones, this is about far more than politics.
"It is about accountability. It is about fairness. It is about restoring faith in the promises made by those who seek our trust.
"Prime Minister, we haven't forgotten. Have you?
"We Are Not Going Away. We Are Relentless."
