“What a massive arsehole” - commentators at the Biggest Arsehole Championships

[Billy Carpenter @billycarpy]

Not proud, but I once got creative and registered a team of 20-year-olds in a U10s tournament. Other coaches kept saying "you can't use them" and "they have beards" and "I think that's Myles Lewis-Skelly." But whatever happened behind the scenes, the game is won on the pitch.

Helen, stop. Read this.

Right now, someone on PIP is reading your timeline. They've seen eleven posts in three weeks calling their support "morally wrong." "Unaffordable." "Unfair." A "lifestyle choice."

They didn't choose their condition. They didn't choose to need help. They filled in a 42-page form describing the worst moments of their life.

They attended an assessment where a stranger asked them to prove they can't function. They waited months for a decision. They were told yes, you qualify, you ARE that unwell.

And now the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary the person who wants to run the department that assessed them posts every single day that their existence on the system is "morally wrong."

How does that feel? To the person with depression who already believes they're a burden. To the person with anxiety who already believes they don't deserve help.

To the person who already thought about ending it and decided to ask for support instead.

Your words have weight, Helen. You're not a random account with 40 followers. You're the Shadow Secretary of State.

When YOU say PIP is "morally wrong," the person reading it doesn't hear "the system needs reform." They hear "YOU are the problem. YOU are the cost. YOU are what's wrong."

Eleven times. In three weeks. Every day another post telling vulnerable people they're a burden on the country.

If one person reading your timeline today decides they're too ashamed to claim what they're entitled to that's on you.

If one person decides the stigma is too much and stops asking for help that's on you.

If one person in crisis sees "morally wrong" and believes it about themselves that's on you.

Words from the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary aren't tweets. They're signals. To 4 million PIP claimants.

That the person who wants to control their support thinks their existence in the system is morally wrong.

Please stop. Reform the system if you want. Publish a policy if you have one. But stop telling vulnerable people, every single day, that needing help is a moral failing.

It isn't policy. It's cruelty with a blue tick.

if you have a disability or are living with depression and these posts are making things harder you are not the problem.

You are not a burden. You are not "morally wrong." You needed help. You asked for it. That took courage.

And if you're reading this and you're angry tell Helen. Reply to her. Let her see the people behind the numbers she posts every day.

@charles_watts I’m ok with holding out for a top 3 forward, I would’ve kept Martinelli, think he’ll get better and we loved him but I like Eze at left wing too, agree that other signings are brilliant and we shouldn’t let failing on vini take the shine off, we’ll get him in Jan Mourinho effect

“No matter what the universe has in store, it cannot take away from the fact that you were born. You’ll have some joy and some pain, and all the other experiences that make up what it’s like to be a tiny part of a grand cosmos. No matter what happens next, you were here. And even when any record of our individual lives is lost to the ages, that won’t detract from the fact that we were. We lived. We were part of the enormity. All the great and terrible parts of being alive, the shocking sublime beauty and heartbreak, the monotony, the interior thoughts, the shared pain and pleasure. It really happened. All of it. On this little world that orbits a yellow star out in the great vastness. And that alone is cause for celebration.”

What is remarkable about this letter is not merely the resignation itself, but the extraordinary political miscalculation that underpins it. At a moment when the Labour Party possesses one of the strongest parliamentary mandates in modern British political history, there are those within its own ranks seemingly prepared to weaken the Government from within rather than recognise the scale of the challenges inherited after fourteen years of Conservative decline.

To suggest that the Prime Minister should now prepare an “orderly transition” barely into government is not an act of strategic wisdom. It is an act of impatience and political self indulgence. Governments are not rebuilt overnight, economies are not repaired by rhetoric, and public services shattered over a decade do not recover within months.

The contradictions within the letter are striking. It speaks of transformational programmes, of meaningful work undertaken in Government, of efforts to tackle hatred and division, yet then abruptly pivots into a demand that the very leadership overseeing those policies should effectively step aside. One cannot simultaneously claim to believe in collective responsibility whilst publicly detonating confidence in the administration one serves within.

Most damaging of all is the timing. At a period where the political right, Reform, hostile media networks, and increasingly aggressive populist movements are seeking to fracture progressive politics across Britain, internal grandstanding of this nature only serves their interests. The electorate does not reward parties that appear consumed by internal ego and permanent instability. History has shown this repeatedly.

The public delivered Labour a mandate to govern, not to descend into another era of factional warfare and theatrical resignations. The country requires seriousness, endurance, and discipline. Those who cannot uphold collective responsibility during difficult periods perhaps misunderstand entirely what government is supposed to demand of them.
