A prominent Labour MP told me this morning that our activism is one of the reasons Labour are considering U-turning on a couple of benefit policies. Don’t buy the spin from the three Labour Party stooge accounts claiming the media made it all up—pressure is our best friend.

IF they want to and succeed in putting all health-related benefits on PIP in 2028, then the 4 points in one component rule becomes even more significant—disproportionately impacting those whose conditions are less condensed but just as severe, like many with mental illness.

[Andrew Fisher @FisherAndrew79]

From the Green Paper:

"for new claims the rate of the UC health element will be reduced by £47pw (from £97pw in 2024/2025 to £50pw in 2026/2027)"

A £2,500 cut per year for disabled people on Universal Credit

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

Banning under 22s from getting Universal Credit health premiums is ageist, ableist and actively harmful to young people.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

The 4 points in one PIP component rule is a calculated tactic to reduce mental health and neurodivergent claimants. I see so many with high needs who don’t hit 4 in one area—so they get nothing. This must be challenged under the Equality Act, and it absolutely will be.

Resolution Foundation warns changes to rules for PIP disability benefit could cost up to 1.2m people between £4,200 and £6,300 a year….

Right here buddy

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is beyond catastrophic. Winter has arrived, affecting a devastated population left homeless, ill, wounded, malnourished, and heavily traumatized. How have 2.3 million people - half of them children - slipped out of the int'l community's concern??
The UNSC must urgently act to halt the genocide in Gaza. If political obstacles like the US veto persist, it's about time for the General Assembly to advance the Uniting for Peace resolution.

Rensa with her placard at the Parliament vigil Canadian assisted dying was for terminal illness now unmet social needs eg homelessness
UK wait for wheelchair accessible social housing is 47 years

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

There was a chance to make a program not framing 'benefits as burden, but about the 2 million waiting for mental health support, the 750,000 on gynaecology wait lists, and the 500,000 waiting for social care assessments or services. This is the real crisis breaking Britain.

[Paula Peters @paulapeters2]

People in mental distress will see the NHS as a place of coercion and pressure and disengage with services altogether. That’s what the government wants

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

The new film from Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit - GAZA, a feature doc exposing war crimes through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers.

The film western media could never make.

Plse share.

it is an incredibly heartfelt, emotional and harrowing testimony that still manages to relay some very important points that i really think people should watch

[Goth elton john @razbertron]

i have watched this whole testimony, what professor fong put so emotionally yet eloquently here about learning lessons from covid like we did ww2 is so important to see.
