Dear Mr Sunak, I am writing on behalf of the whole NHS mental health and charity sector services as we are a bit too knackered to do another consultation. Changing PIP would be disastrous and cost lives +++ Even suggesting it has triggered a lot of people today. Thanks, All.

Here is our statement in response to Rishi Sunak’s ‘full-on assault on disabled people’ as The Guardian described it The system blames and fails us in equal measure, but we will continue to address these injustices and do our best to campaign against them and advocate for change.

Of course "since the pandemic, something has gone wrong". SARS-CoV-2 is a virus characterized by high mortality and even higher morbidity. SARS-CoV-2 has been left to rip in countries like the UK. Of course people are sicker than before Covid. Of course the economy took a hit

Hi, my name is Sam. I am 51. I raise awareness about Covid and Long Covid. I have Covid again right now. I would love to get to 50k followers to spread the message about how disabling #LongCovid is. And because I need cheering up. #LongCovid really sucks.

FedEx defining how I feel with #LongCovid #fatigue I can definitely only commit to doing something afterwards and even then I might not make it 🤣🙈. My #ETA is often severely lacking too! Not here yet.

For anyone who thinks the new #PIP #LabourReforms won't affect them. I was a fit, health doctor, who took no meds, I caught #covid at work. I've been ill for five years I never thought I'd be disabled, Without pip I wouldn't have left the house in 4 yrs. It could be you next
