Ex-Labour supporter, disabled, scared.

Can @TheGreenParty please step up on #disability? Disabled people are facing attacks on their rights and welfare. Labour have outdone the Tories on cruelty and bigotry, the Tories are demanding even more, Reform are promising to dish more out. Who is your disability spokesperson?

Two days in a row this cnut punching down on benefit claimants, strange he never mentions tax avoidance, could this be why👇

Jenrick: "..those people who are doing a 40hrs/week & then choosing to do extra hours to look after their family.. those people can do those hours without paying any money to the tax man"

Why not address the fact that people working 40hrs/week can't look after their families?

[Sharon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @K4rmaRules]

Rich kids not working have a safety net. Poor kids not working face sanctions, hunger and debt. Same status on paper, totally different realities and you won't hear @bbclaurak talking about that, because rich kids get to travel, take gap years, whilst the poor have to work.

[Jen Wood - est optimum simpliciter @unojen_wood]

Labour 2 months before the GE 'The Govt must stop terrifying disabled people, PIP must stay as it is and no cuts to UC.
Labour when they won - 'We will go further to terrify disabled people, PIP will be decimated and so will UC plus we will include people on state pension'

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

I think that 35 hours work a week should not only pay the rent and put food on the table, but leave you enough over for the odd night out and an annual holiday. And if that belief makes me an economically illiterate leftwing extremist, so be it.

[Pistachio 🇮🇷 🇵🇸 @HarleyShah]

We live in a society where people who have to use food banks are paying for MPs on £100k to have piss ups at work and then make laws about their fate

[Rebecca Alert @RebeccaNP]

Hannah's found the issue that unites the country.
Turns out we ALL hate paying for your booze.
Who'da thunk it.

[Mike Booth @cufcmike]

I wish MPs got as pissed off about child poverty, as they do at the thought of not being able to drink on the job.

[Northern Greens @VoteGreenNorth]

Why should I, as a taxpayer in Huddersfield, be paying for MPs who earn 3 or 4 times as much as me to have a cheaper glass of wine in central London than I could find anywhere in Huddersfield?

[Stef Benstead @StefBenstead]

I don't understand what @UKLabour
@DWPgovuk @patmcfaddenmp @stephenctimms are up to.
Do they genuinely think that incapacity for work due to sickness doesn't exist?
That UK is the only country in the world to eradicate all illness?

Too many people still imagine welfare benefits are generous because the media focuses on sensational stories instead of reality. In truth,disabled people and carers are on rates that are profoundly inadequate for modern living costs and disability-related expenses.

[LurgeeLiz @LurgeeLife]

Labour continue to doom loop by flogging multiple dead horses:

❌ Fit Note "reform": proven 91.6% failure

❌ Employment Support for LCWRA: proven 97% failure

❌ ESA WRAG £ cut: proven no employment increase

❌ WorkWell: 902 out of 8,000 target 'helped' with work (89% failure)

[Frankie Last @frankie2001mia]

It doesn’t.
It literally doesn’t.

[Jane Darling @janeydarling1]

Here's a crazy idea: maybe they're not being paid enough to aquire savings

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

MP's groaning and jeering as Hannah Spencer points out her constituents have to pay the full price for a pint whereas MP's get their alcohol subsidised #PMQs

[LurgeeLiz @LurgeeLife]

Andy Burnham's Centre for Social Justice wants to remove PIP & LCWRA from 1.1m claimants - those currently assessed as too ill or disabled to work

But simultaneously only expects 10% (110,000) to move into work

So enforced poverty on ~1 million chronically ill & disabled people

[Ben Claimant 💚 Join a Union @BenClaimant]

The @The_TUC says that the success of last year's PIP campaigning can be 'directly attributed' to them, not the thousands of disabled people and their allies who wrote emails, met with MPs, joined lobbies, spoke to the media, organised debates and local/national protests.
