lol as someone who has used the PIP system let me tell you 1. it is not friendly 2. the language of being 'awarded' is like being in a toxic relationship 3. already SO difficult to manage aka they issued me £0 on grounds of immobility and I was like...I can't walk sir

I wrote a bit about this in my book but poor housing costs the NHS 1.4 billion a year (!) and rather than deal with that or an ageing population you fix your mouth to blame ppl for…being ill THIS IS SO EVIL

I’m going to be in Ireland at Cúirt Festival talking about memoirs and damp and moving and accumulating a load of stuff thanks to capitalism but also my inability to throw things away so if you’re around come!!!
