Reeves is right - the world has changed. So why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Obsession with arbitrary fiscal rules & ruling out wealth taxes is political choice that’s causing huge pain as well as laying out the welcome mat for populist Reform UK #SpringStatement

Can anyone explain this to me? If we introduced a 2% wealth tax on anyone with over £10 million in assets, we’d raise around £24 billion a year. That’s from just 20,000 people - 0.04% of the population. A tiny fraction of the country. And yet we’re told it would somehow

This should go viral "Why are we taxing working people more than billionaires? Tax wealth, not work. Give these people a break. Give their kids a chance. Tax the billionaires" Gary Stevenson on #bbcqt

Don’t ever tell me “but genuinely disabled people will get the support they need” because no they fucking don’t!!! This is absolutely horrific to hear how David passed after his PIP was removed. And they want to take benefits from more people exactly like him. #WelfareNotWarfare

AND why can't ppl who already had their health destroyed by Covid be prescribed #Paxlovid? It is so cruel to refuse them antivirals when reinfected. How can we ever recover?

Can you point to empirical evidence? Wait times are years, if you ever even get assessed that is. This is an agenda pushing, intellectually lazy take that ignores the reality of unsupported neurodivergence. Claire Fox is wrong. Just loudly so v

Israel — on trial for genocide at the ICJ, with leaders under ICC arrest warrants — bans journalists from Gaza to hide its genocide with lies & hasbara. The evidence of war crimes is overwhelming — yet the UK government still refuses to implement a full arms embargo & sanctions.

Due to brain wonkiness the discount code for my workshops wasn't working (so sorry) but it is now. It would be so helpful if you have a few spare seconds & could RT this to maybe reach a few folk who would like to sign up. Thankyou 🌿

PIP payments shouldn't be means tested because they are meant to cover the additional cost of disability. They certainly shouldn't depend on a spouse or intimate relationship. And any changes to PIP should be evaluated for its impact on people experiencing domestic violence.

Really important thread about how social media is being used to stoke fear, anger and racism in the U.K.

This week get shiny

87% of people on the standard rate will lose PIP. This is effectively ending it for the majority of disabled people and yet certain politicians are lying to the press about only one in ten losing it. Call them what they are: liars.

Nigel Farage’s comments are wildly inaccurate and show that he’s completely out of touch with what autistic children and adults have to go through to get a diagnosis or any support at all. For the record, absolutely no one has got an autism diagnosis through the GP – this is just

I know that I won't go viral like others. I know that this will be liked by at most a couple hundred people. But there has been so much misinformation & I feel compelled to address some of it. Let's start with: The vast majority of autism research funding goes on biological work
