I’m sick of hearing that a Pension is a benefit. No a pension is a pay back for all those people who invested their hard earned money back into the economy. So a state pension has been earned & pensioners deserve every single penny of it.
Homelessness and rough sleeping is not a lifestyle choice.
The Home Secretary's recent comments on this issue are deeply unhelpful & misguided. Instead, the UK Government should double-down on tackling the housing crisis.

"Nothing About Us, Without Us!" is a well-known motto for the disability movement. It means that governments and other decision makers must include us in all issues that concern us as humans, not only as people with #disabilities. #DisabilityInclusion
🚨BREAKING: Privilege airline just pulled out of the Rwanda flights!
Shout out to *everyone* who made this happen - @FreefromTorture, @1StrongVoice + the growing solidarity movement.
People power works 🙌🏽 We WILL beat this govt's anti-refugee plans together!
Proud to have been on the picket line today, standing in solidarity alongside workers and members of @RMTunion and @TSSAunion.
The Government needs to pay transport staff what they deserve, not force a real terms pay cut on them during a #CostOfLivingCrisis.
It's really not complicated.
We need an asylum system that prioritises the safety and wellbeing of people seeking asylum.
Calling @RishiSunak@trussliz - here's your guide to creating a safe, accessible asylum system 🔽

Pleased to update that this woman was taken off the plane just now. But imagine a PTSD sufferer getting so close to deportation, leaving behind her 3 children & husband, for the Home Office to concede whilst a judge was reviewing her case - Home Office could have acted earlier.
Breaking: European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg grants rule 39 request to stop the flight to Rwanda from leaving. Basis: real risk of inhuman and degrading treatment (Art. 3 ECHR). Please share - government must comply.
We have just had a letter from the Home Office inviting us to an interview to explain the reasons why Harrow Law Centre has claimed asylum in the UK.
We were aware of the latest attacks on 'lefty lawyers' and were preparing for the worst but we didn't expect it to come to this.
