i want to break down some disability stats because i see a lot of people balking at the idea that there are 16 million disabled people in the UK (only 3.6 million of those on PIP, and only 37% of those claimants on the highest amount of £737 a month) let’s have a 🧵 shall we?

Good to hear from Gavin Robinson speaking in the debate on social security changes - he points to the fluctuating nature of mental health and the need to get 4 points. Liz Kendall says that "work is good for mental health difficulties" Horrendous. I'm sick.

🧵 1/ I’m concerned that, if implemented in NI, the welfare cuts announced today would be utterly devastating for those with mental illness, & plunge many into suicidal distress. Whilst suicide is complex, there is strong evidence of the link between financial pressure & suicide

2/ Data shows that economic crises & austerity measures lead to increased suicide rates. The suicide rate in the most deprived areas is already twice that of the least deprived areas. These cuts would further widen the inequalities.
