I had home made soup for breakfast…. And I don’t care if it’s weird. It was just what the doctor ordered!

Thousands of disabled people will get £2,800 a year less after the Universal Credit rollout, it’s emerged.

The ways in which the Tory party have found to push disabled people into poverty truly is endless. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

Listening to Michael Palin on BBC Radio 4 and his description of ‘just sharing a glance’ with his late wife & not having to say anything to communicate made me tear up. I miss that so much

Did my ears deceive me or did the newsreader on Good Morning Britain just call Donald Trump ‘Donald Chump’? If so, that’s just made my day!

Unpaid carer = carer = worker = just not paid = just not entitled to annual leave, rest periods, sick leave, breaks = 90 plus hours a week = 0.91 p an hour = abusive system = allowed by the government

I'm sad to say the stories of being prosecuted, hounded for fines in thousands when breaches are really only in the hundreds are still coming.

DWP harassed, harmed people's lives due to complex systems for honest mistakes.

It needs to stop, pls share your story
