My colleague can’t walk anymore from sciatica. The PIP assessor said to him can you get in your car? He said if I crawled and dragged my legs behind me yes.
The assessor: ‘but you still CAN get to your car…’
PIP is not an unemployment benefit or a substitute for work. It funds disability related support, equipment and transport, providing dignity and independence and often enabling employment. People have inherent value. It should not depend upon their usefulness to an employer.
More benefits bashing 🐂💩 ....You don't need to be unemployed to receive #PIP. Ms Mogg knows this yet still continues to push these lies. #PIP has nothing to do with not having a job, she should ask David Cameron who used to claim it when it was still #DLA for his disabled Son
£20 to £30 bn of taxpayer's money is paying bank's every year in interest on Quantitative Easing
We are the only country doing this
Journalists are silent
Deliberately removing billions from taxpayer's, then cutting budgets, NHS, Schools, social care, disabled
#ThisMorning
Most UK media loves to smear disabled people, anyone who needs welfare, framing the safety net as an outrage to the taxpayer. But the owners of most UK media aren't UK taxpayers, they're resident offshore. If they were UK taxpayers, the UK wouldn't have such a tax shortfall, hmm?
hey @Channel4 pls unannounce it x
so sick of this shit, this isn’t a warranted debate, it’s pandering to people’s ignorance and furthering this ridiculous rhetoric that goes against every bit of reliable research
It's almost as if stripping local authorities of their role in providing not-for-profit care homes and forcing families to hand over £70,000 a year to private equity firms hasn't worked out all that well
Scotland just lost 600 hectares of an ancient forest that has stood since the ice sheets melted 9,000 years ago. The Cairngorms wildfire is still burning after 12 days.
Yes, this is happening right now.
So why does Angela continue to support #welfare cuts for those who are too #sick or #disabled to work? She supports those who provide the caring but not those who need the care? It doesn't make sense no matter how it's spun ....it's wrong to #vilify those who are unable to work!
THIS. IS. HUGE. Nature Scot's own scientific advisors say they cannot conclude the hunt would avoid harming the internationally protected gannet colony. And they have recommended the board REFUSE the licence.
🚨 BREAKING:
Australia takes a step toward international justice and domestic law:
"Every Australian dual national who served in the IDF in the GENOCIDE in Gaza since October 7, 2023, must be investigated as a war criminal and prosecuted."
Over 30% of the "welfare bill" subsidises slave wages to help big corp profiteer.
As brought in by Tory Universal Credit.
Furthermore the MOD has spent over a decade spunking billions up the wall with 0 return or accountability.
Fuck off Jimbo Dimwit.
Awful news out of Amboseli. The Kenya Wildlife Service confirmed 15 elephants died from cyanide poisoning after ingesting toxic pesticides from nearby tomato farms.
