A DWP leaflet featured one welfare claimant, "Sarah", who said she was "really pleased" a cut to her benefits had encouraged her to improve her CV.
But after a Freedom of Information request by website Welfare Weekly, the DWP said they were not real claimants.
REALLY?
I didn’t lie about my age to join the Labour Party cos I’ve been expelled I didn’t bully Louise Ellman as the Jewish Chronicle claimed. These lies were also fed to Tom Watson from Lee Harpin to discredit me and my CLP and feed a false narrative that many swallowed. Please share

What a rewrite of history this is!
She was the Campaign Manager for Owen Smith! She couldn’t even do that properly, even with ice cream.
This is such poor politics. And definitely is not Leadership. At best it’s vindictive.
It's not wrong to call out Tory racism.
It's not wrong to stand up for civil servants who are bullied.
It's not wrong to demand the PM works full-time.
We can't let the Tories off the hook.
We need to talk about how deeply liberals, even "progressive" ones, hate the left. My grandfather was fired and blacklisted for union organizing. My parents had to leave this country because they opposed the Vietnam war. And yet even I underestimate the depths of the hatred.
I’m proud that over half of elected Labour MPs are women and in recent years that’s extended to half the shadow cabinet.

People have always organised within @UKLabour to promote their views & those of their political allies. It happened in Keir Hardie’s day & ever since. If anyone thinks that this didn’t happen during the New Labour leadership, they’re incredibly naive. It’s politics. The end.
It was great to join you all this afternoon at Birtley Hub to celebrate your award and to look forward to the improvements and a more accessible space. Congratulations!! @BirtleyHub1@TNLComFund@ConnectedVoice_

Exactly right @grahamemorris - Brexit was the issue on the doorstep during GE as well as our NHS.
This week Tories voted not to invest the funds needed for NHS and, well let’s see what happens with their Brexit promises. @BBCRichardMoss@BBCPolitics
What we’re talking about is already happening in other European countries and it’s not being called “crazy” or “far left” - it’s what a civilised society expects
