I see we’ve finally reached the “let’s force benefits claimants to clean the streets” phase of the political cycle. Hello darkness, my old friend.

The House is now sitting, starting with questions to Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office ministers.

🔴 Watch today's proceedings live:

UK Governmemt Minister Victoria Atkins has said thousands of asylum seekers are,

'Not missing. They just can't be located at the moment.'

Great spot from Matt Dathan

Lies, doctored videos, fake video, fake audio. That’s what they’ve got. And nobody on this platform will ever do a damn thing about it so it keeps getting worse.

More incredible video of Ruang in Indonesia erupting. Breathtakingly terrifying!

'The PIP assessments are often easily exploited.' - Sunak.

DWP's own statistics show that estimated PIP fraud was just 0.2% of PIP spending in 2022-23.

oh, for a few more politicians (on all sides) that actually knew this all too widespread situation from experience, or even empathy

(And until you’ve tried feeding and entertaining a family on UC alone, week in, week out, don’t come at me with your porridge takes)

You must be thick as pig sh!t if you believe that people can go to the doctors (if they can get an appointment) tell them they’re feeling a little sad and the doctor says “Fine, have six months off work”

As a species, we humans are greedy and destructive. Not all of us, obviously, but too many to preserve our stunning, precious, singular planet.
We have a #ClimateCrisis and many are ignoring it as an inconvenience when it's an immediate threat to our food, water and wellbeing.
