Dear Mel Stride,

PIP has nothing to do with employment.

PIP is for moderate to severe disability and is v difficult to qualify for.

Noone gets PIP 'for' depression or anxiety. It is based on a functional analysis.

Stop playing smoke and mirrors with people's lives.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get about £250.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a WEEK in rent on his expenses

Lying, thieving b******

Another vanity project by the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak

Stop playing with videos and actually sort out the mess you have created. #ToriesBrokeBritain

This was brilliant! ⬇️

Let’s remember this is a situation that was entirely overlooked at the start of the pandemic, largely dismissed & ignored in the middle of it, and now treated as if the cause is historical & not ongoing.

So, yeah, it’s a public health failure.

This number will be SIGNIFICANTLY higher because most people have absolutely no idea about the ways in which Covid can damage you. Their new heart condition. The repeat sickness. The new onset Musculoskeletal Issue. Their autoimmune condition. All these can be triggered by Covid

2 million people in England and Scotland with #LongCovid
What are the figures for Wales and Northern Ireland?

The fact is the numbers are increasing as are the the numbers economically inactive.

The Elephant is rampaging around the room Rishi Sunak

Fancy running for UK Prime Minister?

From the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Covid infection-
‘Most reported symptom … was a runny nose, followed by a cough. Other common symptoms were tiredness, a sore throat and a headache.

And yet, this is what the NHS says…

We should still test & isolate!
Rishi Sunak #LongCovid please share!

This is one of the many messages I’ve had regarding the lack of information about the damage Covid can do. Thanks for sharing K8

This is the reality of post covid conditions

Lord Bethell Rachel Sylvester Chris Smyth Long Covid and ME/CFS patients are begging for urgent biomedical research to find treatments for their suffering.

We have a growing epidemic of extremely sick people and governments must take action!

I actually believe the reality is much higher than this for these reasons

- Stigma
- Denial
- No appropriate testing
- Limited data collection

Lots to think about in this!

Someone tell the PM that the issue with sick(fit) notes is not the notes themselves but the deteriorating health of the nation. The PM address should’ve been about how to improve population health & reduce the health determinants gap not about punitive measures for the sick.

Cass describes what we went through so well, it’s left me in tears.
When you are ready, make yourself a cuppa, sit and listen to it, and know you aren’t alone.
Well done Cass, it was awesome. 👏
