Earlier today @DavidLinden asked about DWP welfare reforms and what impact tougher sanctions will have on disabled people finding employment. Laura Davis from @base_tweets said sanctions create fear that pushes people further away from work. Watch more: youtu.be/PJhJhRvP86Y
As someone who receives PIP and has a job as a journalist, I would very much like to know why the Labour Party is going round the media perpetuating the myth PIP is an out of work benefit. Does Reeves know it’s not? Or does she not actually care?

Tory war on the disabled. Govt replacing Personal Independence Payments (PIPs) with a six-tier system of disability benefits, many would get less money. Tories not attacking causes - low incomes; poor food/housing, healthcare and working conditions archive.ph/vwQBp
I was asked to comment for this Big Issue article.
I was asked to comment for this Big Issue article.
I noticed a couple more academics have followed. I once met a lecturer in Birmingham who told me he used mine and other tweets with his undergrads to start discussions. I really like the idea that tweets are used positively like this in education.
Smart, authoritative and insightful critique of Rishi Sunak's disability benefit cuts proposals - reducing them to rubble in fact - by @StefBenstead

"I’m really worried these welfare reforms will have dangerous, tragic consequences... it was only last week that the UNCRPD report warned that the govt’s reforms and rhetoric had resulted in hate speech and hostility towards disabled people." bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
PIP benefit changes: 'I want to keep my dignity'. Vicky: 'I'm not lazy, I'm poorly' Karen: 'I don't want to be a burden on my family' Sam: 'PIP would be a massive help for me' "PIP is supposed to alleviate some pressure, not increase it." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
oh, for a few more politicians (on all sides) that actually knew this all too widespread situation from experience, or even empathy (And until you’ve tried feeding and entertaining a family on UC alone, week in, week out, don’t come at me with your porridge takes)
"the most pernicious of all the arguments the government is floating around PIP is the suggestion that some people should get treatment rather than cash. If people with mental health problems need therapy, they should get it through the NHS, not instead of benefits" - @PollardTom
Just a couple of days into a new week and the relentless stigmatising of disabled people and those on benefits continues apace. So, I'm re-upping my @BylineTimes piece from last week. Targeted cruelty after 14 years of targeted cruelty. Shameful. bylinetimes.com/2024/04/24/wit…
The government's 'Health and Disability Green Paper' mentions work 77 times.
The govt's reckless attack on disabled people and other marginalised groups continued yesterday with the publication of a Green paper and a consultation on its disability benefit 'reforms'. MPs from across the political spectrum had plenty to say about it, most of it critical.
HMRC and DWP launch online service for people to check for and fill any gaps in their national insurance record. ukauthority.com/articles/hmrc-…
MPs accuse DWP of 'cherry-picking' the most positive scenario in its analysis of the labour market economic benefits of the rollout of #UniversalCredit. DWP “chose to use the most positive of its evaluation findings & made a number of other assumptions”. civilserviceworld.com/professions/ar…

@BenClaimant @StefBenstead @BenClaimant Hola, please find the unroll here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1785366… Talk to you soon. 🤖
@BenClaimant @StefBenstead @BenClaimant Hello, you can read it here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1785385… Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖
@BenClaimant They don’t understand that PIP is not only available to unemployed disabled people do they!
@BenClaimant Is Rishi going to crack down on that other moral hazard of our time- Tax dodging by the wealthy & well connected? Oh, that's right, he hasn't.
@BenClaimant No doubt that's their idea. They've got no further to go in the bastard stakes. But they have to be done for. Not that I'm keen on starmers labour
@BenClaimant don't even need to read between the lines, it's blatant
@BenClaimant @TeresaC123 This is a very good compilation of condemnation. The alleged theory behind these planned changes disintegrates once you consider their deliverability by an already overstretched NHS.
@BenClaimant Exactly! I rely on the little extra £72.65 a week at the end of the month cos UC isnt enough to live on It can literally pay for anything and provide some life. Vouchers, lump sums for adaptions/therapy will do nothing for me. They are restricting our independence 🤦🏼
@BenClaimant That's exactly how I read it. Taking away PIP and offering treatment is disingenuous. They should ALREADY be getting treated but they're not because the NHS is underfunded. How will they be treated? What if they can't be 'cured'? This government doesn't understand mental health.
@BenClaimant Just listened to this on #BBCRadio4 . Absolutely shocking. Didn't we send staff out to Romania a couple of decades ago to show them how to look after children with disabilities? What have we become?
@BenClaimant x.com/marinapurkiss/…
David Cameron now swanning about on a £42m private jet like he’s a bloody Kardashian… And we’re paying for it. No matter what side of the political spectrum you’re on, this should make your blood boil.
@BenClaimant You can’t give cost of living payments in cash and then say those very same vulnerable are no longer allowed cash. It’s wrong. It’s immoral and it’s dangerous
@BenClaimant This is a mistake I’ve heard every single broadcaster make today.
@BenClaimant Those with chronic illness will be forced to work. Those with chronic illness need to start doing courses to have stuff on there CV. I am personally beginning to do this. I need to be prepared for when I am forced into work. Let's hope my employer will assist me to the toilet!
I tried to explain just how the language used by Prime Minister Sunak about people who are sick or disabled has consequences in increasing prejudice & escalating hate crime against disabled people. My warnings were ignored by the Conservative minister.
"Does the PM not realise that his language increases prejudice against disabled people and contributes towards the escalation of hate crime?" @johnmcdonnellMP asks. Mel Stride: We have a prime minister who cares deeply.
@BenClaimant @NadiaWhittomeMP Yeah, it was the tone wasn't it?
@BenClaimant @NadiaWhittomeMP Can't help but wonder if he would have replied the same way to an older man.
