Judy Murray backs NHS cleaner who feels ‘stabbed in back’ by UK Government

ome Secretary Priti Patel said: “Every death in this crisis is a tragedy, and sadly some NHS support staff and social care workers have made the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of saving the lives of others.

“When I announced the introduction of the bereavement scheme in April, I said we would continue to work across government to look at ways to offer further support. Today we are extending the scheme to NHS support staff and social care workers.

“We want to ensure families have the support they need and so this will be effective immediately and retrospectively.”

The reverse in policy came after an NHS cleaner said he felt ‘betrayed’ and ‘stabbed in the back’ after learning that minimum-wage migrant workers would not be included in the scheme.

Hassan Akkad, originally from Syria, was visibly emotional as he delivered his moving video message to Prime Minister Boris Johnson asking that his government to reconsider the move.

NHS CLEANER REVEALS WHY HE FEELS ‘BETRAYED’ BY BORIS JOHNSON

Choking back tears, film-maker Hassan said his partner would not be allowed indefinite leave to remain if he died while helping tackle the virus.

He said: “Hi Boris. My name is Hassan and I am proudly working as a cleaner at a hospital 10 miles away from the hospital which you were in.

“I wanted to help this nation overcome this pandemic.

“I’ve really been enjoying the clapping that you and other minister have been doing.

“Today, however, I felt betrayed… stabbed in the back.

“I was shocked that you have decided to exclude myself and my colleagues who work as cleaners and porters, social care workers.

“We’re all on minimum wages and you’ve decided to exclude us from the bereavement scheme.

“So if I die my partner isn’t allowed an indefinite leave to remain.

“This is your way of saying thank you to us.”

He added: “I’m sending you this in the hope that you will reconsider, because I did see a humble Boris after you were discharged from hospital – I saw a different Boris

“Us migrants are on the front line doing these very demanding jobs to help this nation overcome this pandemic, and the least you can do is to give out families indefinite leave to remain.

“Please reconsider and I hope to hear back from you.”
