NEW: More than a hundred suicide and self-harm incidents have been recorded at Jobcentres and other DWP providers since 2014. The figures, revealed by FOI requests, will reinforce fears over the effect of punitive welfare policies By me, for The Mirror👇 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

A cash-starved council is proposing disabled people be interned in care homes if their social care is “too costly”. This is a story of savage public funding cuts but also of which people society deems to matter. My col. in today’s The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

NO CUTS TO DISABILITY BENEFITS NO MORE AUSTERITY NO MORE BENEFIT RELATED DEATHS đź’€ NO MORE POVERTY Rachel Reeves Keir Starmer The Labour Party This is what will happen if you cut benefits for disabled people Increase it or leave it alone!!! #disabledpeopledemand



Absolutely sickened by Rachel Reeves comments that it's 'perverse' for disabled people to be able to claim more welfare benefits than non-disabled people 'looking for work'. Disgusted by her abhorrent towards the most vulnerable. Stop inciting hate Rachel. Just stop.
