Ben Claimant ๐Ÿ’š Join a Union Very sorry to hear, i suffered similar in 2011. The government has changed and within months, had stripped many off of their ESA. I for a number of reasons ended up in hospital, that was one of them.

Tens of thousands of children affected by the two-child benefit limit may not be lifted out of poverty unless the overall benefit cap is reformed, official figures show. By me, for the Observer theguardian.com/society/articlโ€ฆ

Today's DPAC action was reported by ITV who followed Joy Dove, mum of Jodey Whiting who took her own life after her benefits were cut in 2017. Joy's story features in #TheDepartment which we tried to deliver to MP's today. #NoMoreBenefitDeaths ๐Ÿ–ค itv.com/news/tyne-teesโ€ฆ

I expect I am like a lot of people whose thoughts are with the victims and survivors of Grenfell today. The report is important but the wait for justice goes on. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

The day before the Grenfell report James Cleverly was announcing that if he became leader he would step up the 'righteous' cutting of red tape and regulations. It was this attitude that was much criticised in the 1,700 page report and led to 72 avoidable deaths in #Grenfell.
