There is no democracy without dissent! Seems there are far too many MPs & others that have lost sight of this & we will all pay the price

A lil slice of truth eh; Israel is committing genocide/ethnic cleaning/war crimes. Supported by the U.K./USA & other western governments. Welfare has remained 10-12% of GDP for the last 30 years & is not ballooning. People who are non-white experience more racism than whites

UK welfare spending is 10.6% of GDP. Right wing press never mentions that it is well below the OECD average. UK has some of the least generous welfare across OECD. No questions asked about corporate welfare, uncosted tax reliefs to corporations/rich. gov.uk/government/pub…

We don't have to push children into poverty. We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled. We don't have to aid and abet genocide. For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore. Join us at yourparty.uk

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip. It is not a threat. It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

Timms wants Access to Work to be less personalised because it’s β€˜too bureaucratic’… while also forcing personalised work conversations on people too unwell to work (LCWRA). So which is itβ€”less personal or more? #TakingThePIP

Surely growing demand is a good thing, especially if The Labour Party claim their key priority is to get more disabled people into work… We want to support improvements and reforms to Access to Work - we’ve written to Sir Stephen Timms but we haven't heard back. #AccessToNowhere

#Psychotherapy should not only be about regulating emotions; it should be about listening to them. Some emotions have a lot to say. Some don't. Some might do one day, if given a chance.

UK govt has β€˜got the balance right’ on tax, says Rachel Reeves. Not addressed Tory legacy. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages, recipients don't pay NIC. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

PIP review form. 32 pages. Took over 2 & a half hrs to complete with support. Deeply triggering and degrading. Why must they force those of us with life long degrading conditions to go through this?! And the things they won’t consider! People just magically appear on the loo eh?

It’s very convenient that all of the media and blue tick accounts with tens of thousands of followers are posting about how much disabled people β€œscam” the benefits system at a time when the government want to enact the biggest benefits cuts ever I’m sure

Just 56% of all PIP claims are successful after assessment Just 10% of all mandatory reconsiderations are successful The fraud rate for PIP is 0.2% Disability hate crime has risen by 25% in the last decade
