1) Removing PIP from seriously ill and disabled people has nothing to do with 'helping people into work'. PIP is not an out of work benefit. It is support to ensure disabled people can meet the considerable costs of being disabled.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

One of the most relentlessly stupid ideas in British politics is that the public just randomly develops certain sentiments. And therefore MPs are duty-bound to act on them. Anti-immigration attitudes, as such, are treated as if they just float up from the ether.

You could of course argue they’re a reaction to the “actual presence” of migrants—but we know by countless pieces of research that hostility is strongest where migrant & refugee presence is minimal, and weakest in the most diverse, cosmopolitan areas.

The truth, of course, is that these sentiments are manufactured. Politicians, journalists, and specific policies—like warehousing people seeking asylum in deprived towns, instead of giving them the right to work—actively produces and amplifies resentment. Decades of headlines and politicians' statements give these manufactured “concerns” shape and urgency.

The insanity of it all is having helped invent the problem, politicians now claim they’re merely responding to the “legitimate concerns” of voters.

The only rational response to this cyclical doom-spiral is to erode the material base (austerity, regional inequality) on which right-wing populist "concern merchants" find fertile ground.

[Mags Campbell @writersblock08]

@speakoutsister He's shown nothing but disrespect for others since the day he became PM and he refuses to accept any criticism. He laughs off people's concerns every time they're brought up. Hard-headed and arrogant to the core.

Today is VE Day - Victory in Europe - marking the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945.

I want to tell you an incredible story that took place much earlier in the war, in June 1940, involving three soldiers from the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
