Trade Unions. What did they ever do for us?

As someone who receives PIP and has a job as a journalist, I would very much like to know why the Labour Party is going round the media perpetuating the myth PIP is an out of work benefit. Does Reeves know it’s not? Or does she not actually care?

Imagine you are trans, non binary, intersex, imagine you feel outside the fold. Then watch as the media and govt use you and opposition parties tear themselves inside out becos they don’t have the guts to face down hatred. I’ll stand with the marginalised; my people.

It was bound to happen: a major swimming race in the #Thames has just been cancelled

The threat of E.coli poisoning is so high the organisers have rightly put people before profit

Today's Times.

The govt's new visa changes have caused an 83% fall in visas granted to health & care workers.

We have:

152k social care vacancies

121k NHS vacancies.

This is catastrophic for our NHS & care sectors.

The govt is putting anti-immigrant populism above care.

I LOVE London! Lived there for years while filming & our 1st child was born there, in St. John's Wood. I wholeheartedly support Sadiq Khan for Mayor on May 2. He’s been a driving force in cleaning up London’s air & choosing #HopeOverFear

For a fairer, safer & greener London,

Sandra Leaton Gray Leese This, unfortunately, is becoming increasingly common. They (the Conservative government (and sadly perhaps other governments)) seem to want to cut health and benefits. A double whammy.

I am hopeful that campaigners and others can stop the changes to PIP, though.

Greg Hands Susan Hall AM Conservatives Tony Devenish Kensington, Chelsea & Fulham Conservatives Stephen Greenhalgh If Hall wins, heaven forbid, then we will have increasing poverty, children going hungry etc

The ONLY two things Tories know how to do are

1) further enrich the richest
2) increase poverty levels to the point people die.

If YOU #VoteConservative YOU are voting to hurt people

Fancy wanting to either scrap or reduce #PIP payments for some of those who suffer with mental health & anxiety issues.
Imagine what that does to their state of mind!
What is it about Tories & this despicable gov that they have to eye anyone receiving benefits with suspicion? 🤷‍♂️

A new report from the Public Accounts Committee states that any benefits transition failings from the DWP ‘will lead to real-world misery for thousands’.

CPAG: DWP's lack of concern is chilling. They must slow down and come up with a safe process.

Paula Vennells was on the short list in 2017 to become Bishop of London.
Clearly her Bible didn't contain the ninth Commandment with all that mullarkey about bearing false witness.
Looking forward to her appearance at #PostOfficeInquiry

I strongly condemned the death sentence for my brother Toomaj Salehi - a hip hop artist telling the truth about the repression in Iran! We must be morally consistent in our prophetic witness! توماج صالحی🌋

The story of this meagre £140,000 payment to the widow of the sub-postmaster who walked in front of a bus, taking his own life, just gets worse. The Post Office insisted the money was paid in stages so they could stop payments if she spoke out about the case. I mean ,really?

#BinBen - he’s full of 💩

TORIES GETTING HUFFY 👜

Tory Local Mayor @benhouchen has blocked me for pointing out his disastrous contracts on Teesside...

Let's get #BinBen trending for May 2nd 😉

Could The Labour Party please find its guts and commit to renationalising this utter shitfest? Polls show it would be massively popular with the public. Sod the billionaire press and its fatuous objections. It hates Labour anyway, so why not be hated for giving us what we want?

The more you learn about this scandal, the more outrageous it becomes.
