Sorry, could we take a moment to register the cruelty of the Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, Helen Whateley, who has proposed an amendment to the UC & PIP Green Paper excluding from PIP assessment those with “mild depression, anxiety or #ADHD”? Won’t happen, but…!

Labour’s chair has refused to answer questions about a disabled constituent whose suicide was closely linked to flaws in the personal independence payment system, just as her government was trying to cut PIP spending by billions of pounds a year. disabilitynewsservice.com/silence-from-m…

My parents paid £60,000 for their house in 1990. It was valued last week at £675,000. Back then it was the equivalent of four times average income. Now it is 19 times average income. It just shows how broken the housing market is and how unaffordable it is for many people.

Starmer’s kidnapped Labour Party are toast. Watch as Guardian hacks like John Harris, Polly Toynbee, Jonathan Freedland, Jessica Elgot, Pippa Crerar, etc, start the same vile shit-stirring they used on Corbyn back in the day. These people will not face the reality that Keir

#CPTSD isn’t just flashbacks. It’s the bone-deep emptiness after years of surviving. It’s feeling hollow where other people feel real. It’s wondering if you even exist when no one is watching.

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws. Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide. This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

How can Liz Kendall Sir Stephen Timms Torsten Bell Rachel Reeves Angela Rayner Keir Starmer Bring the welfare bill back to parliament on July 9th and ask the house to vote on it when the bill doesn't explain what will be considered a severe ongoing condition, what is a

"Which tax rises could Rachel Reeves introduce to pay for the £5bn welfare U-turn?" Silly headline, blames the poor for tax rises. Silence on corporate welfare, bailouts, inequitable distribution of income/wealth; profiteering pushing people into poverty independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

I have tabled an amendment to the Welfare Bill to end outsourcing to 5 profit making private companies and require health assessment staff to be employed by the govt. When 7 in 10 assessments go to mandatory reconsideration and later granted at cost to the DWP, it's clear the

All MPs should watch this before voting to cut in half the UC Health Element for sick and disabled people. The so-called exemptions for those who meet the Severe Conditions Criteria (SCC) are deeply flawed.

Government insisted welfare cuts not about saving money. But now saying not saving money on welfare cannot scrap cap on 2child benefit thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Jon Trickett MP Labour have stoked the anti disability hate with misinformation&not being responsible in correcting lies about benefits,PIP&motability,this was done deliberately to try&get their bill through. &this is where we’re at now as a result,&we’ve been left to deal with the consequences

Just wondering why Ofcom and Metropolitan Police have been silent on a disability hate crime where a commentator suggested we disabled people are either ‘starved to death’ or ‘shot’. According to @GBNews it was humour. Thanks to The Labour Party this is now the norm in U.K. #HateCrime

For those who don’t know Jeremy Corbyn is 100% against Freeports and Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Jeremy Corbyn "A freeport is essentially a tax-free zone created by a government to persuade a global corporation to move in there, and be exempt from an awful lot of laws and

So it seems the government are now laser focused on whipping up hate against the disabled-blaming them for every unpopular move they make. The Timms Review will be a spiteful mess.

Department for Work and Pensions For a UC LCWRA citizen: a LOSS of around 400 but a "GAIN" of 60. Help me with my maths. You're taking £340+ off nearly all LCWRA recipients. Ignoring safeguarding and those at 'substantial risk'.

Department for Work and Pensions That’s always been the case. You don’t know your own benefits? PIP is not related to employment status or means tested. You want to make it appear as if you’ve done something positive for disabled people which is worrying

Mental health is now the most prevalent disability among working-age adults because society is finally acknowledging it and is better at diagnosing it. While economic, social, and healthcare pressures have pushed more people to the edge, the support systems haven’t kept pace.

Some signs of depression no one talks about: • Brushing your teeth once every few days • Avoiding mirrors • Zoning out during conversations • Sleeping all day and still feeling tired • Random bursts of rage… then guilt • Staring at your phone, doing nothing for hours It’s
