Bayan Nuwayhid, the brilliant, committed, and generous Palestinian historian, has died. Her work on intellectual and political elites before the Nakba remains benchmark, as is her account of the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

The Guardian has now confirmed that if an existing claimaint loses their PIP on reassessment, which happens regularly due to assessor error, they will then become a 'new claimant' and therefore subject to the 4-point rule.

So, no one is so-called protected. Kill the bill.

@LloydCymru Absolutely right, it makes me so sad, this is where I was born, grew up and treated and where my brother's child will likely soon be born and do the same, it's all so worrying 😟

The idea that more DWP work coaches is the answer to disability unemployment rates is rooted in the belief that disabled people are the problem, when the actual problem is that jobs aren't accessible and employers are unwilling to employ and make adjustments for disabled people.

@sabreeeeeze In Cymraeg (Welsh) we have 💚Hiraeth💚 - it's a word for a particular feeling, like a nostalgic longing for your homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

the liberal framing of Mamdani and Rama as cool Muslims vs scary Muslims (even if implicit) is really funny when you remember that his father wrote the seminal book and coined the term ‘Good Muslim, Bad Muslim’ — about the false & dangerous binary created about Muslims to serve imperial ends.

‘None of this collection of Oxbridge graduates, consultants, landlords, lobbyists & NGO staff have worked the kind of role that would leave them with broken knees &painful spines by 50’-superb piece which reminds us about the historical rship between heavy industry & disability

In case you missed the memo!

British jets are facilitating a genocide in Gaza. @Pal_action are peacefully obstructing that because our government won’t.

Proscribing a group who peacefully protest against genocide is a draconian overreach and should be opposed by all those in this country with a conscience.

PIP is not an out work benefit.

I just had someone ask me why disabled people need cars when they get discounted train and bus travel, and if that statement doesn't sum up how little people understand about the material reality of being disabled in the UK, I don't know what does.

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

Banning under 22s from getting Universal Credit health premiums is ageist, ableist and actively harmful to young people.

PIP - designed to help with the costs of being disabled/chronically ill.

But you won't be able to get PIP if you need to use an aid or an appliance to do basic daily tasks? (2points)

So how are people supposed to pay for the aids and appliances they need? #DisabilityBenefits
