The government has forgotten that disability benefits are a good thing. They help disabled people to live full, happy lives. We should be proud as a country of having a system in place that provides disabled people with a safety net, not demonising those who need to use it.
Making mental health talking and other therapies easily and speedily accessible to all who need it, so many can recover and restart their lives is great, and once done you can look at those who aren't working who could be. Taking away vital support from people when they have…
I’ve struggled with my mental health all my life. I’m disappointed by the PM’s comments about mental health and work. It belittles individual’s personal pain by saying mental health is everyday challenges and worries. It won’t help anyone get or keep work. independent.co.uk/news/uk/mel-st…
We’ve just had World’s Funniest Crab Joke competition, held by the Crab Museum in Margate to celebrate International Crab Day. Here’s the winning joke. Why did the crab cross the road? It didn’t. It used the sidewalk. 🦀 😊

Britain is sicker and poorer than it used to be. Sunak’s response? Attack disabled people. @DrFrancesRyan theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The government is intent on creating a hostile environment for disabled people. Work is a key opportunity out of reach of far too many disabled people. But the government scraps its own employment programme. Another kick in the teeth for disabled people. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Now the government quietly scraps the Work and Health employment scheme to help disabled people into work - as government seeks to crack down on disability benefits. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

I can’t quite decide whether I’d want a glass coffin or not. Remains to be seen.
Essential read: ‘The crisis in the social care system is leaving unpaid carers not only overworked, but picking up every broken piece of a system that just doesn’t work. It is simply not fair’ bylinetimes.com/2024/04/18/neg…
It costs significantly more to live as a disabled person Many rely on personal independence payment funding to preserve their dignity & live independently. It is pernicious to consider changing benefits for those struggling by expecting them to cover costs they have no choice in.
The government’s ongoing onslaught on disabled people is hard to watch with the PM taking aim at people who are long-term sick in a cruel speech demonizing people with ‘sick notes’. All at a time when people struggle to access mental health support. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Jack is 21 with complex disabilities, left languishing in hospital, with no freedom, failed by a system and waiting for a suitable home. Broken promises by govt. Families fighting for loved ones. Individuals locked away. This scanythat shames us all. bbc.com/news/articles/…
Good old fashioned journalism by @guardian means @DWPgovuk will look at this case with some urgency. Perhaps, it should have listened more carefully to charities who have been warning about these injustices with the benefits system for years? theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
I think is @JohnJCrace is a talented writer and political commentator. I wish he didn’t use the term brain dead in such a casual manner in this article. There's a lot of other phrases that could make the point he wants to make just as well. theguardian.com/global/2024/ap…

@RichardKSense @SamanthaRenke Exactly!! Its these benefits that have allowed me to work for 30+ years. And this morning I struggled to get out of bed because I thought what’s the point? It still isn’t good enough for these f**kers in power.
@RichardKSense Thank you for saying this Richard and you are absolutely right.
@RichardKSense And the idea of needing receipts to reclaim costs. Just for a moment, consider the cost of processing that. But it's always better to spend the money on administration than the job itself.
