@minajimpact I've been playing offline digital games all day. It's just the online ones that aren't working and the ps store

[🦇Raven Quinzel🥄🦓 @Raven_Quinzel]

@GermanStrands Can't get into any of my online games, can only play offline ones.

[🦇Raven Quinzel🥄🦓 @Raven_Quinzel]

@VideoGamesPlus_ I can play my digitally downloaded games offline too. Whether you have the disc or digital version you can't play mmo games rn

[🦇Raven Quinzel🥄🦓 @Raven_Quinzel]

@PlayStationUK I'd love to play a new game, but can't log in to psn. Might wanna fix that before advertising any more

[IGN @IGN]

Sony's PlayStation Network services have been offline for hours today, leaving fans unable to play some digital games. https://t.co/UyyGdyBUzn

[🦇Raven Quinzel🥄🦓 @Raven_Quinzel]

@IGN I can play my offline games, but any that are online and require ps+ aren't working. And today is the day of a big new update for 2 of the games that I now can't play. @PS_Support_UK @PlayStationUK

[🦇Raven Quinzel🥄🦓 @Raven_Quinzel]

@ThatManIan84 @PS_Support_UK This! @PS_Support_UK @PlayStationUK

[🦇Raven Quinzel🥄🦓 @Raven_Quinzel]

@PaulovesArsenal @PS_Support_UK Yes, just can't log in to psn even though the status page says everything's fine. I can't even get into some of my games because of this. @PS_Support_UK

A year ago today I was violently arrested dragged down stone steps painfully handcuffed roughly handled by a gang of thuggish police who managed knock my glasses to the pavement, expose the top half of my body, all of my bra and not one of them, man or woman did the decent thing to save me being exposed. I’m 75 now. I didn’t shout, struggle or give any sort of abuse or even disrespect the police. I was peacefully holding a piece of paper with words on- nothing more. I was held in a cell until 11.30 and effectively held under house arrest for weeks. I’m charged under the terrorism act. The court dates keep getting changed and we are a real problem. I feel a connection with the thousands of us who have done this - Im proud that we are fighting for our freedom of speech, our right to protest and against genocide. It’s not much but it’s the least we can do.

“Every cabinet reshuffle is a sleight of hand—a political illusion designed to keep the public trapped in a manufactured spectacle.”

​Strip away yesterday’s media narrative and the true outcome of this reshuffle becomes clear: a complete consolidation of power by establishment lobbyists, corporate tech interests, and the Mandelson network.

​Across every key department, the doors to structural reform have been locked shut:
​Wes Streeting takes Defence to push Palantir tech further into military procurement.

​John Healey takes the Treasury to raid the domestic welfare budget to bankroll military expansion.

​James Purnell anchors No. 10 as Chief of Staff, moving straight from Flint Global to ensure the public ownership of water, gas, and electricity stays permanently off the table.

​Yvette Cooper and Shabana Mahmood tighten police surveillance and target civil liberties to protect state and corporate interests.

​This isn't a new direction for the country—it's classic political gaslighting from the Blairite spin machine.

I’d like to see who’d give me a standard 9-5 job when I:

- spend all day fighting to stay awake, falling asleep every 2 mins.

- have one week of chronic migraine each month. Combined with PMDD.

- have frequent myositis flare that render me immobile.

- need frequent time off for appointments.

- am housebound, relying on deliveries and my partner for supplies.

- have a 15 year gap in employment due to chronic illnesses.

And don’t say: “if you can tweet, you can work.”

Firing off a few tweets a day is not comparable to a 9-5 job. I don’t know anyone who gets paid to tweet rants a few times a day.

I’m on my own path, setting up a digital art business to fund my writing + living. I’m the boss. I choose my hours.

I won’t bully my body all the way to the grave like the system expects us to.

Dear @AndyBurnham,

Please make #DisabilityMinister a Cabinet post and, for God's sake, stop it being a junior position within the #DWP! The idea that the only social issues around #disability relate to #benefits is incredibly insulting!

Yours,

Every #Disabled Person in the UK

#PIP

To the public:
PIP is not an out of work benefit. It’s to meet the additional costs incurred due to your disability. It pays for taxis as public transport is inaccessible for disabled people it pays for medications no longer available on the NHS

[Ben Claimant 💚 Join a Union @BenClaimant]

While the rightwing blame young 'snowflakes' for the rise in PIP claimants, the evidence shows it is:

- cuts to public services
- long waits for NHS treatment
- decline in healthy life expectancy
- soaring living costs

All the things disability campaigners have said for years!

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

“Disabled people are not just experiencing poverty – they are being systematically prevented from maintaining their health, and any cuts to financial support will be a catastrophe of health.” Dan White policy lead at @DisRightsUK and the DPCG.

[LurgeeLiz @LurgeeLife]

The FACTS:

"Sickness" benefits have been LOW for 26 yrs - 3%-5.6% of UK pop. (4% mean & median)

Covid pandemic has clearly caused a slight increase (e.g. Nov 2025: 1.6% above mean)

But it's not spiralling out of control

Prevention of acquired illness is needed NOT punishment

Watch Nigel Farage openly say we should privatise the NHS and move to an insurance-based system instead.

He really couldn’t care less about you or your health.

It's time to ban above inflation mid-contract mobile & broadband price hikes. We investigated 47,000 tariffs, & in 75% of cases @Ofcom's protection rules meant people PAY MORE. In 99% of cases, people saw above inflation rises. It needs to stop. Full story https://t.co/70rJtoed51
