@therealmissjo@IsabelOakeshott Evil! I was in the vulnerable group. I have 4 health conditions, none imminently life threatening with treatment and will live 50+ more years.
You're talking about 'healthy' old people with arthritis, those who've overcome cancer, the people who build and paid for your comforts!
@Toddy_xgp@IsabelOakeshott This 'logic' leads no where good. Many groups seen as 'net drain' just don't have their contributions counted.
Should we let all disabled children die too, because they'll 'be a drain'?
Where's your humanity??
@hmtreasury@Jeremy_Hunt Demonising disabled people is no way to get them into STABLE employment.
I have regular seizures & would be sanctioned for not taking a job in a warehouse, that would simply not be safe or manageable long term.
We need healthcare, education, and more robust employment rights.
@Lala_Buttons@MartinSLewis It's classic to blame the disabled. I'm fortunate to be able to cling on to my job but despite there being laws to protect me, I have no money to ever fight discrimination so as well as providing proper health care, we need more robust employment rights too.
@CoderPW@carolhibbert51@MartinSLewis There have been numerous public sector pay freezes and caps since 2010. The IFS say on average between 2010 and 2022 teachers pay was down 11% real terms. So kinda makes sense.
@LibDems STOP lumping disabled and chronically ill people with the long-term unemployed.
If you want disabled people in work, provide them with stronger protections in employment & promote flexible working (stop telling people to get back to the office) not take their money away.
@piersmorgan There is no comparison. Israel invaded and occupied Palestine & have oppressed them.
Hamas' has used that treatment as a twisted excuse to commit evil.
Israel responds by invading further & indiscriminately killing Palestinian civilians on a scale that's hard to comprehend.
@DrProudman but that should also have set hours & responsibilities just like paid work has. Things outside of those times, or responsibilities should be shared. 2/2
@DrProudman It shouldn't be either or. Both parents should have time off work after a baby is born, mother to feed/sleep, partner to spend time with their new child and support mother. Then both should return to work. If one is staying as 'manager of the house' then cool... 1/2
@Baddiel Maybe he would have if he could get a word in - he barely manages to say 'I do not support or welcome Hama's...' before Piers interrupts him. Piers never wanted him to condemn Hama's, he wanted a shouting match he could use as clickbait.
@piersmorgan How is it ever morally defensible to be directly responsible for the death of babies & children?
Both Hamas and IDF are morally indefensible.
@John_dg7@jessphillips I agree, MPs *should* represent their constituents, not be whipped to vote in line with the party as a whole. Unfortunately though our political system simply doesn't work that way.
Welfare cuts of billions are being planned by the government
The proposals would see many more people compelled to find work despite having a range of physical and mental health conditions https://t.co/dMjUjvTXUH

@RachelRileyRR@piersmorgan The evil of Oct 7 doesn't justify Israel's actions, past or present. There needs to be a ceasefire, water, food and electricity restored, hostages released.
This could have been an actual exchange of viewpoints, but no, a yes or no question 25 times was clearly more important.
@RachelRileyRR@piersmorgan He literally says 'I do not support or welcome Hamas' it's in big letters in a banner at the bottom of the screen too. Are you purposely obtuse?
Destroying Palestine and killing innocent Palestinian children will not undo the heinous crimes of Oct 7...
