London Labour Zack Polanski Everything Labour is doing now to vulnerable people is on top of what the coalition did. On top of what May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak did. As if that wasn't bad enough, Labour promised Change then doubled down on punching down. You haven't even got the wit to be embarrassed

The sum added to basic #UniversalCredit for people too sick or #disabled to work is being cut by £206 a month DESPITE report after report showing this demographic is in real #poverty & that this measure will cause immense suffering. Yet no one cares. #C4news #BBCNews #SkyNews

I said the other day, I am old enough to remember the 2017GE and the establishment screaming that Corbyn's £40 billion total budget set out in the Grey Book would bankrupt the country. Three years later we gave away nearly as much as that to a Tory Lady for a Covid track and

Imagine your country funds billion-pound tax cuts for the rich but leaves mental health on life support. 🤔 Then acts shocked when broken people end up on benefits instead of magically healing themselves. “Just bootstrap harder bro” energy at its finest 🙄🤡 Fix the NHS.

Abortion up to birth is already legal in the UK. It is regulated by the Abortion Act (which isn’t changing). There are about 260 abortions every year between 24-40 weeks gestation, about 0.1% of all abortions. The old laws that are being reformed take no account of gestation.

⚠️The 10 week #PIP consultation is rushed over Easter, bank holidays and the exam season. It limits participation by design — a repeat of last year. The DWP and the Timms review had 8 months to do this. They chose not to. They are doing it now, with a media hate campaign ready.

If only employers were as keen to take on people with mental health issues as politicians believe. A 2021 Dutch study found that 64% of managers admitted to not wanting to employ someone with a mental illness-increasing to 84% with some conditions.

Polling shows support drops from over 70% to 11% once people are made aware of the risks. Why do you think we should ignore the near universal concerns of disability organisations and medical professionals because of a poll anyway?

DWP hides scores of emails that discussed its role in claimant deaths #DWP #BenefitDeaths #RightOfAccessRequest disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-hides-scor…

Completely unthinkable that a Labour MP would ever stand up to this sort of rhetoric nowadays. Scotland are lucky.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry over the fact that so many are apparently convinced that the majority of the 330 billion welfare budget is spent on people with depression and anxiety.

“Trump is a bully and a blackmailer, and he has made absolutely no plan for what an exit strategy looks like. When he asks for our help we should say: Donald, ‘you broke it, you fix it.’” Caroline Lucas speaking on the Iran war on #BBCQT.
