For those with short memories, this was the Jay report. It made 20 recommendations to the then Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
Nothing was done.
Rather than start a new inquiry, shall we actually implement the findings of the last one.
There's no easy way to say this. I'm sorry to be the deliverer of bad news in this way to so many. Today I learnt that our friend @lisybabe has died. I don't have many more details at the moment I'm afraid.
In Ontario the processing time for sickness benefits is 6+ months. The waiting time for euthanasia is just 3.
Some disabled people in Canada are 'choosing' death as a solution to social problems
@touretteshero looks at waiting times in the UK & compares them to assisted suicide
@JosieLong This directly affects my care. I get a finite pot of money from the council to pay my staff, I am the employer, either the council will have to up the ££ to cover the cost or I don't get my Care Act 'assessed needs' met. I'm not alone in this.
Reducing wayfinding for the purposes of advertising is abhorrent.
They tried it with "Burberry Street" and were rightly hounded.
I've asked @TfL to provide the risk assesment they completed with reference to the Equality Act.

@suey2y Aesthetic matters most to these people so no, no sentimental or tatty furniture, pay a cleaner or spend precious hours scrubbing every inch. Some people's life choices make me think I'm very sane in comparison
@morbid_sparks Ah shit mate. I came here specifically to message you to catch up and found this first. Urgh. I'm sorry :( if there's anything I can do please dm or text.
Israel has detonated the equivalent of 5 and a half Hiroshima bombs in a strip of land the size of East London.
Suggesting Israel’s mass slaughter is caused by Hamas or anyone else is straightforward atrocity denial.
I can’t say often enough giving it to people who don’t need it was the price of ensuring everyone who did need it got it. Linking it to an inadequate benefit that 800,000 who could claim don’t claim is simply a mistake.

Interview with a women on #C4News who’s concerned because her son can’t get a council house but Asylum seekers get homes etc. it’s pointed out Asylum seekers can’t apply for council housing. Her response ‘I didn’t know that’ - thats the problem! Media & Gov must educate!!
A reminder that, as a Government Minister, Robert Jenrick ordered the Home Office to paint over cartoon murals at a centre for unaccompanied children seeking asylum.
The dehumanisation of migrants doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Own it, and apologise for the part you have played.
The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.
For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.
Staff are devastated.
"We're protecting our community"
you’re missing something massive if your broad analysis of why this country is in the state it’s in right now doesn’t include the phrase “in the 2010s, councils saw their funding cut by half”
