Still trying to enjoy the world despite being one of the many JAWs (just about walkings) in a world they're making more difficult for us. #pwME

This 👇👇👇 100%. CBT made me worse, beating myself up for 'doing it wrong' & 'failing'. Two wasted years before accepting my illness & learning to pace.

Dear Liz Kendall Could you please clarify Labour's position on free prescriptions being take away from benefits claimants who are sanctioned according to the gov's just announced plans? As a clinician, I must emphasise the anxiety this is causing nationally. Best, Jay

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/…

Millions of us are missing. You won’t see most of us. You won’t hear most of us. Could you imagine if you caught a virus and never recovered? Drs dismissed you are could offer no help. Family and friends couldn’t understand why you weren’t the old you any longer. #MEAwarenessDay

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

Message to Labour: if you take away people’s disability benefits they will not be able to work but they will still be disabled. Starmer’s government has had a compassion by-pass. #TaxWealth fix Britain.

First, Labour went after children by refusing to lift the Tories’ 2-child benefit cap Then, Labour went after pensioners by revoking their Winter Fuel Payments Now, Labour is coming for sick and disabled people This is the changed Labour Party that Sir Keir Starmer is proud of

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.
