I lasted longer than I should have, but time to be gone from this place.

Have moved to https://t.co/j7a1XVVlLH

Hopefully see some of you there

@rod_earle I am in the process of moving to BlueSky, but not finding the energy to build the networks I had here (yet)

It is years since I read Ireland but if I remember correctly he used prisoner as a metaphor - but I may be wrong!

@MelaynaKay Not really sure I "got it", but it has helped my own thinking and both introduced me to Denise da Silva and pointed me in the direction of Marcus Dubber. So thank you!

This, from a DWP press release yesterday (https://t.co/uIgTCv4EnC), is outrageous

In two short paragraphs it peddles multiple falsehoods about the current system that will be used to justify upcoming cuts & changes

Here's what MPs & journalists should be challenging... 🧵

Are sickness benefits out of control?

A £13 Billion increase between 2019 & 2024.

A lot?

I asked the Bank Of England how much £52 billion is worth in 2024 they tell me it's worth (to the nearest billion) £65 billion.

So what we are seeing here is the impact of inflation

@BenGunnEx Ben, PIP stops after 4 weeks in hospital (should restart when you leave).

But your bigger point still stands.

Mike Davis was born on this day in 1946.

“At the end of the day, the best measure of the humanity of any society is the life and happiness of its children. We live in a rich society with poor children, and that should be intolerable.”

No politicians
They build walls, we plant seeds.
Change doesn’t start at the top. It grows from us.

Have they lost the plot?

In Feb I received 4 letters from 4 companies telling me my bills were going up.

No young person paying crazy rents or on zero hours or with a sick family member woke up this morning grateful Keir Starmer is increasing defence spending.
