For those cheering for cuts to disability benefits, remember, you could become disabled tomorrow. Your child could become disabled, your partner could at any time. No one chooses to be disabled or chronically ill, it just happens. #DisabilityBenefits

Breaking:
Bibby Stockholm Barge to close.
(Send it to Docklands, moor it up and let all the Tory MPs left, and the few Reform MPS use it as London flats. They all claimed it to be luxury, after all ...)
It’s quite chilling to realise that we were completely abandoned in 2020 - by a government that was - as Matt Hancock said to the Covid Inquiry - just worried about buying enough body bags. They were preparing for mass death while reassuring everyone it was going to be ok…
