The Telegraph are now tweeting their baiting calculator that lets readers work out how much of their salary “bankrolls” sick and disabled people on benefits.

A truly shameless bit of journalism that openly relies on fascist ideology that casts disabled people as useless burdens.

Disabled campaigners were outside the Royal Courts of Justice this week to highlight the “appalling discrimination” experienced by an estimated two million claimants who were denied a £20-a-week rise in their benefits during the pandemic.
