Welcome to Britain’s new benefits lie: disabled people are driving BMWs and Mercedes on the taxpayer’s dime.

Racism towards nurses has hit crisis point...
With the constant racist/anti-migrant rhetoric that is coming from the far right, we are not surprised
Please respect those working in the NHS, we do it because we care ❤️
Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.
Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.
What, Michelle?
For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?
For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?
For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients?
For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency?
I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.
Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.
How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?
You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life.
Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.
DEC member charities are responding right now in Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region, providing lifesaving food, water, shelter, medicine and so much more. They are ready to act wherever the needs are greatest, but they urgently need more funds to meet the huge levels of need.
Hey friends! I've just donated to the DEC Middle East Humanitarian Appeal to help provide aid to people affected by the conflict. Can you help? https://t.co/fxvO9sC6TW
It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion.
He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are not heeded.
The reality is that his entire political future is dependent on fomenting confrontation and division. It is by creating a climate of crisis that he has got where he has.
And some of my former Conservative colleagues have argued the Conservatives should be linking up with Reform! Perhaps this shameful episode will open their eyes to his malevolence.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who braved watching #BREATHTAKING, who commented, who shared their own experiences, who chose not to look away.
Here are my reflections on the astonishing public response to the series - available on @ITVX now 💙 https://t.co/5I7Bplqk3V
Britain is in a vicious loop of: council budget cuts -> closure of public sports centres/pools/football -> more sedentary behaviour -> rise in chronic disease -> rise in healthcare costs -> council budget cuts -> repeat. A downwards spiral to poor health.
After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS

Disability Rights UK have issued a statement this afternoon, a response to the Chancellor Jeremy Hunts announcement on proposed benefit changes.
The dangerous language issued deserves a truthful response. Please share. #benefits#JeremyHunt
