Does it bother you that the UK government treats disabled people like children? Why not? They want to turn disability benefits into pocket money, to be given or withheld depending on whether they approve of what we buy theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month. No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get about £250. Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a WEEK in rent on his expenses Lying, thieving b******
Did you know? 34 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed since dawn today. 26 of them were killed in the ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Rafah.
This evening the DWP published a new 'Modernising support for independent living: the health and disability green paper' - some very early thoughts...
#PIP This is the consultation document for PIP reforms. Your voice & that of your family needs to be heard Deadline for consultation is 22nd July 2024 All versions to access in the link Please share with networks gov.uk/government/con…
PLEASE SHARE The DWP consultation on PIP is out. The gov is trying to take away a vital benefit for so many disabled people Closes 22nd July gov.uk/government/con…
Lord Cameron has hired a £42m jet to fly round Central Asia, for 5 days in ridiculous luxury. When James Cleverly hired the same plane last year it cost you £422,000 a day. That's 105 people's benefits for an entire year, every single day. It's crooks that cost you.
The whole point of benefits is to help disabled people live. Vouchers would limit where we spend our cash and “claiming back” would put us into even further debt. The tories want us dead

The UN produced a highly-critical report into the UK governments failures, accusing them of demonising disabled people and treating them as “undeserving citizens” by preparing slash disability benefits. Exhibit no 2,000,005 Why are the media so silent??? FFS!!!!
No one can tell me anything ever again
Gaza Ministry of Health: 6 children in the Northern Gaza Strip have died as a result of contracting hepatitis. The spread of infectious diseases continues to rise as a result of the humanitarian crisis created by the Israeli-imposed siege on Gaza.
Happening Now | Continuous series of Israeli airstrikes over Beit-Hanoun, artillery shelling in Beit-Lahia, Northern Gaza

Very glad to say that @PlutoPress are offering 50% off copies of The Department - my investigation into DWP's 30-year history of bureaucratic violence and hostility - if pre-ordered through their website. The discount code you need is on the Disability News Service website.
The Department for Work and Pensions appears to have destroyed all written records that would have shown why it weakened guidance on when to investigate suicides of benefit claimants. #DWP #BenefitDeaths buff.ly/44grEi0
15,000 pebbles laid out along the entire mile of Aberystwyth Prom today to represent all the children killed in the last 6 months in Gaza.
Something I’m not hearing a ton about is that Gallaudet Students, from the historic college for the deaf, are also participating in solidarity encampments in the DMV area.

he also can’t fathom the idea that people need benefits to buy things in the first place how are people meant to get receipts to claim back for stuff they can’t afford to buy in the first place because they have no benefits? this is why rich men shouldn’t be in charge of money
The thing about Rishi saying that benefits can be claimed back if you get receipts is he’s treating every day commodities like they’re expenses. Which they are to someone like him. He’s never had to worry about not having money in the first place or getting in debt.
A reminder that this is the same government that is currently promising to clamp down on what it describes as "immoral" waste in the civil service
Today, the Government have yet again gone on the attack by singling out Disabled people as a burden on the benefits system. Utterly untrue, but we continue to be the whipping community for ALL government economic failure. Enough. This is just cruelty. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Does it bother you that the UK government treats disabled people like children? Why not? They want to turn disability benefits into pocket money, to be given or withheld depending on whether they approve of what we buy theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
NEW: ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS HAVE STUDENT GAZA SOLIDARITY PROTESTS 🤯
NEW: Student Gaza solidarity protests/encampments appear to have reached ALL continents but Antarctica 🤯 A brief 🧵:
by saying "lets have a grown up conversation" the DWP minister is implying that disabled people voicing concerns about the tory's plans to destroy the benefit system and their lives is childish and hysterical. It's that simple. I'm fucking done. Goodnight
Our disability benefit system hasn’t been reviewed in over a decade. We want to make sure it’s fit for the future, with enhanced support for those who need it most and better value for the taxpayer.
Cochlear implants are not reliable standalone first language acquisition devices.
Today of all days, remembering and being grateful for all the blessings I have in life. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ
The Tories have opened up a new war on disabled people. Just like their attacks on trade unionists and on asylum seekers, this is an attempt to shift the blame for the mess the Tories have made. Let's show our full solidarity with disabled people and fight back against this!
Ending PIP will literally kill thousands of disabled people. Thousands. More blood on the hands of Tories. Even if they don’t implement this, the very thought may send people into despair and suicide. Fuck the Tories. I hope they all experience the worst Karma can give them.
If you asked every single person receiving benefits to give two words to describe their experience of the welfare system, I doubt you'd hear a single mention of "fairness" or "compassion"
Oh dear, think I might damage Makaton! Last Friday someone mention Mr Tumble, I remember I saw he did Makaton sign of Crab on TV about 10 years ago, I was shock & laugh, so I search YouTube, found a clip, record it / send it out as humour, didn't expect it to became viral! Sorry!
All else aside, I respect the optimism that the DWP - who currently oversee huge benefit backlogs and faulty assessments - could ever run a complex system of effectively tens of millions of receipts a year. You’d be better off hiring a monkey with a typewriter.
I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Say it with me politicians PIP IS NOT AN OUT OF WORK BENEFIT
Disabled people having vouchers instead of cash benefits buys into the idea we are scroungers who can’t be trusted not to spend the cash on fags and booze. When the Tories get their arse handed to them at the election, I’m spending my PIP on fucking champagne.
