Badenoch says "the best way out of poverty is to work". There are currently already 2.5 applicants actively seeking work, for every job vacancy in the UK. Where are those jobs going to come from?

This is a major flaw in the system. If someone is medically diagnosed with a lifelong /or deteriorating condition a vast amount of money is wasted in a programme of reassessments. There needs to be a shift to acceptance of lifelong being just that and if someone is identified at needing the highest level of support then that being confirmed forever. The stress of unnecessary reassessment also complicates people's lives - the fear of losing the needed support etc Disabled people with lifelong conditions facing ‘unnecessary’ Pip reassessments ‘Pointless’ reviews are wasting public money and ‘significantly harming’ the mental health of claimants, charity says theguardian.com/politics/202…

I am begging people to understand the reason you pay so much tax is because the richest pay so little. The combined tax dodged by the richest 1% is more than the tax contribution of the bottom 70%. If they paid their tax, you wouldn't have to pay any.

The number of people on sickness and disability benefits were not previously hidden. It’s just the media and government hadn’t whipped the public up into a frenzy yet to distract from more pressing issues. Such as tax arrangements of some of the world’s largest AI and tech firms.

Just a reminder that Helen and the Conservative Party is currently being investigated by the UK statistics watchdog for making misleading claims about welfare and social security spending. 🙂 disabilitynewsservice.com/uk…

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000 migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

All this talk of benefit cuts never focuses on the fact that before you cut so called "disability benefits" there needs to be huge investment in making our society accessible & inclusive. Can't work if the workplaces aren't accessible, or transport, or housing etc.

Disabled children don't stop being disabled at 16, however, nearly a quarter of young people on child DLA failed the assessment for PIP By @RachelCDailey_ thecanary.co/uk/2026/06/16/d…

When did it become a "thing" for MPs to hate disabled people? This woman is absolutely obsessed with making the lives of the most vulnerable and poorest people in the community even harder. All while receiving her massive MPs salary and expenses. It's obscene, @Helen_Whately.

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'. Please RT this until this until he no longer is. Thank you

Hundreds of thousands of disabled people with lifelong conditions are repeatedly being put through pointless PIP benefit reassessments, contrary to official guidance, wasting public money and “significantly harming” their mental and physical health . theguardian.com/politics/202…

The Guardian has now identified multiple carers who begged the DWP to stop payments they weren’t entitled to — only to be ignored, then threatened with overpayment debts and penalties. These are people grieving, working, or trying to rebuild their lives.

It would be nice, wouldn't it, to go online, open up a paper or turn on the TV for one day in the UK, and not see some talking head attack #disabled people for needing #SocialSecurity that is their basic human right, and demanding cuts. It would be a decent society to wake up in.

A text from NHSNoReply telling me that from 22 June my GP Practice is going fully digital & all services must be accessed this way. It says signing up to OneLogin makes it all easier 😡 Where is the Equalities Impact Assessment ⁉️ Patients being #ExcludedByDesign. 1/

Did you know that many people working in supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda still qualify for Universal Credit because their wages aren’t high enough to cover the cost of living? That’s not a welfare problem. That’s a low-pay economy. Taxpayers end up subsidising low wages while working people are told to work harder. Britain doesn’t have a benefits culture problem. It has a wage problem.

There are currently around 705k job vacancies in the UK. There are ALREADY around 1.81 million who are unemployed and actively looking for work. Politicians of every party are endlessly saying disability benefits must be cut to force disabled into work. What jobs will they do?

Welfare breakdown: 50% pensions 40% people IN work & that will go up when they force people into any job 10% unemployed or sick or disabled Seems they have decided the 10% must be punished instead of forcing companies to pay a decent wage so the 40% don't have to claim anything

Many MPs are loudly demanding cuts to the benefits budget to fund defence. Have any of these advocates suggested cutting MPs’ own generous expenses, subsidies, pensions, perks & benefits first? Or is austerity only for everyone else?

When one of the most respected referees in world football is refused entry by the host nation, because they don't like his home country, the correct response of the other referees should be to boycott the tournament unless he is allowed to do his job. Sadly, that won't happen.
