My book #UnderstandingMentalDistress is out now. It’s about the harmful impacts of neoliberal reform in #mentalhealth services. A huge thanks to the service users & workers who so generously shared their experiences with me https://t.co/qqjsPGfA6u 👇

[Policy Press @policypress]

“Putting both workers and service users at its heart, in this volume @richmoth makes a compelling case that structural and ideological forces continue to limit the possibility of genuine #MentalHealth care … Highly recommended.” @HSpandler.

Disability benefits cuts on the front page of every national paper. They all say Starmer has caved—which he has. But we’re nowhere near safety until this dangerous bill—unconsulted, with no impact analysis—that will impoverish 100,000s is binned. Still #TakingThePIP

Editorial from this week’s @bmj.com.

By Kate Pickett and David Taylor Robinson.

A wealth tax in the UK could raise £60bn a year to tackle widening inequalities.

🚨 Clinicians:

The government plans to cut billions from disability benefits.

We’re already seeing the consequences — patients in anguish, carers pushed to the edge.

Please sign + share this open letter. Our voices carry real weight — let’s use them.

The most effective thing you can right now to fight the disability cuts is:
1. Make an appointment to meet your MP face to face, ideally with a couple of friends and tell them how these cuts will harm you.
2. Attend this protest on the 1st April, 12 noon.

Loss of key protection is ‘nightmarish’ demonstration of green paper’s bureaucratic violence, say activists

To UK Government disabled people are prepared to take you on and resist you

Join @Dis_PPL_Protest organise an action in your area for Wednesday 26th March Day of Spring Statement

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Life costs more if you are disabled. Making it harder to qualify for PIP won’t make those costs go away, it will just push more disabled people into poverty, not jobs.
Don’t punish disabled people.
