@Helen_Whately It’s in your DNA to constantly attack the disabled but you’re totally fine with claiming way more than disabled people get to pay your rent…

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately Taxpayer money is being wasted on you , Helen.

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately Oh Helen , the call is coming from inside the house….

@Helen_Whately We’ll just be as relentless as you are attacking disabled people in calling out you taking the piss with your expenses.

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately You don’t know your arse from your elbow. In any other job , you’d only be qualified to boil the kettle. You shouldn’t be anywhere near high office with this level of ignorance

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately Attacking disabled people on a daily basis isn’t the flex you think it is. Anyway , this you?.

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately @Telegraph Let’s revisit this utter car crash interview you gave where you said PIP had been around for decades (it hasn’t) and couldn’t give an answer for what “low level mental health condition” is when your whole argument is about that. How stupid are you ?!.

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately @Telegraph You can’t even take Sunday off from attacking the disabled , can you?. Anyway , this you?…..

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Message to the Media…. Stop allowing politicians and journalists to speak about ‘low level’ mental health problems. It is incredibly damaging.

[Nuwan Dissanayaka @nuwandiss]

What do psychiatrists think of this?

Did she consult any?

[Minerva @Politcalmind]

@Helen_Whately @Telegraph You are obsessed with attacking disabled people and anyone claiming benefits and yet …..

In response to @Helen_Whately

The continued demonization of the most vulnerable members of our society for political point scoring has to stop.

On Sky News this morning you bumbled your way through an interview in which you described anxiety as a 'low level mental health condition' and said people suffering from it shouldn't qualify for PIP.

I don't receive PIP, but I know a thing or two about anxiety, and there's nothing 'low level' about people who get PIP because of it.

Mild anxiety isn't a qualifying condition for PIP.

As a former senior RASSO detective I've seen rape survivors become so crippled with anxiety they can't leave their homes. Men and women whose entire lives were stolen from them because someone decided to violate their very essence.

I buried my brother when he took his life because he couldn't cope with the anxiety that haunted his every waking hour.

You were asked to clarify if all sufferers from anxiety would be denied PIP. After twice being told it's okay to say you didn't know, if you didn't, you said yes, anxiety 'on it's own' wouldn't be a qualifying condition.

You further claimed that anxiety sufferers don't incur 'additional expenses' so therefore their condition doesn't meet the original purpose of PIP.

You clearly don't understand the disease, and it IS a disease, if you believe that.

Ironically, comments like those you so glibly threw out at the public this morning will serve only to worsen the condition of those sufferers who will, despite knowing there's no prospect of you ever being anything other than Shadow Secretary, now become ever more affected.

MPs earn an obscene £98,599 a year. On top of that you receive staffing costs, office costs, travel costs and accommodation costs.

The very least the public is entitled to expect from any 'duly elected' Member of Parliament is they understand they have a duty of care that, as a minimum, requires them to understand the subjects they're making policy decisions about.

There are far too many politicians currently running with the narrative that people with a disability, whether it's physical or psychological, are a drain on our finances.

Nobody chooses to be disabled, stop punching down on those who sadly are.
