The UN has found "no significant progress" in the UK government's treatment of disabled people in the seven years since it was found in breach of its obligations under the #UNCRPD Shocking, but not surprising. Not at all
I have been truly horrified at the treatment of many of the extraordinary dedicated, selfless carers for loved ones with serious disability by DWP. As a GP, I am aware that they work punishing hours with little or no respite theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help. The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi….
The callousness - and inflexible bureaucracy - of the DWP is unbelievable. And why can't Carer's Allowance be paid regardless of income, and the higher earners among them (of which I bet there are very few) be taxed on total income? theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
New: London has a shortage of homes, but it doesn't have a shortage of golf courses. In fact, London’s 95 golf courses take up more land than the entire borough of Brent. Here's the case for building on some of them. samdumitriu.com/p/homes-or-golf
Carer's allowance scandal latest: "They are just not interested in explanations. It doesn’t matter what you say... They just want the money": @JoshHalliday talks to an unpaid carer forced to pay £5k for a minor breach of carer's benefit earnings rules theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
The DWP will spend £849,475 a year on 25 covert officers to sniff out benefit fraud. That's enough to pay 116 people the standard rate of UC for a year. What about the 42 BILLION a year in unclaimed tax? Stop blaming those with less & start with those stealing the most
“Viv is being punished now for looking after her mum": @JoshHalliday captures the sheer brutality of the DWP's pursuit of carer overpayments, in this case seizing a £16k bequest left to a carer by the mum she cared for. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
theguardian.com/commentisfree/… What if the Tories really are heading for a defeat even more catastrophic than what happened to them in 1997?
The mob rule that Rishi Sunak fears most lies in the ranks of his own party theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It's one thing to support Israel. It's another to support its destruction of Gaza. It's another still to demand Americans finance Israel's wars. But to see credible reports of mass famine for 2.2 million people, then object to a tiny amount of food dropped there, is monstrous.
If we admit that there is a shortage of homes for people to live in then maybe it’s not unreasonable to curb their use by some as a business?
At 3 a.m. one night in 1988, Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called a local studio and said he needed to record something immediately. He pleaded with the engineer: "Please, can I come in? I have an idea." Kamakawiwo'ole recorded the iconic version of "Somewhere Over The…
There are now 482,000 second homes owned in England – a rise of almost 170,000 since 2010 (£) telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/0…

@jeremycorbyn It's screamingly obvious in the data. Before Thatcher deregulated lending for housing, private debt rarely exceeded 60% of GDP in the UK. After then, it tripled, driving house prices up in the process
"If anything, this unusual age of massive rises of house prices may be nearing an end.” says David Miles at @OBR_UK. (£) thetimes.co.uk/article/wfh-is…
House prices in the UK have rocketed since 1970, boosted by an artificial choke on supply. This has historically been an electoral asset as boomer voters felt richer, but now sky high prices are sapping growth. Conservatives must feel a sting of urgency in addressing this.
