Please retweet @MPeakeOfficial David Harewood @idriselba David-Tennant.com and tell @rishisunak that #forgottenfreelancers in TV need help - the very people that you work with every day are in danger of having to leave the industry!

#forgottenfreelancers is trending on Twitter thank you everyone who's made this happen - are you listening Rishi Sunak ? But it doesn't end here - tomorrow is another day #thefightcontinues

Please, please share far and wide. Every time you turn on the TV during the lockdown, which you rely on to keep you entertained and informed - an essential service in unprecedented times - remember the people who work in that industry that now have nothing thanks to Rishi Sunak

Just had 4th call from Vodafone UK in response to my complaint that they have chosen to impose their RPI increase on contracts while country is in lockdown and millions of their customers financially strapped 1/2

Forgotten Freelancers (@forgotten_2020) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Every person trots out same rubbish. Why can't you at least delay the increase until your customers are able to earn again? Shame on you Vodafone UK As soon as I can this customer of 20+ years will leave #grasping
