[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Universal Credit isn’t set based on the cost of essentials.

No independent evidence. No review. Just political decisions.

Millions are being forced to turn to food banks as a result.

✋ We’re calling for an independent process that sets Universal Credit based on real costs.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If the United States is bombing Iran from British bases, we cannot pretend we are not involved.

This war is totally illegal. We should have absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever.

Care work keeps the world running.

It's in 🍲 meals prepared, 🚸 children walked to school, and 👵🏼 aging parents supported.

Yet, this work is undervalued and unequally distributed.

As a matter of human rights, we must #ShareTheCare.

[Wheelie MS Advocate - #PoweredByExperience - ♿️ @WheelieFUMS]

When politicians say “the British public are fed up with people on benefits”, when exactly did benefit claimants stop being part of the British public?

Disabled people are workers, taxpayers, former workers, unpaid carers, volunteers, parents, neighbours and voters.

We are constantly discussed as a cost or a problem, but how many politicians have actually sat with disabled people and asked what years of this rhetoric does to us?

We are not separate from the British public. We ARE the British public.
