Disabled people are being hurt, harmed and killed by the Department for Work and Pensions at a scale that overshadows every other scandal in British society in recent decades, MPs have been told. #DWP #DWPdeaths disabilitynewsservice.com/dw…

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?

There is very little rate of increase, given 3/4s of the increase are people #migrated' from #legacybenefits like ESA, IS. They had to make a claim for universal Credit, and that was counted as a 'new claim, even though it wasn't. There has been no 'massive rise'.

Supreme Court ruling ‘opens the door to reduced scrutiny’ and ‘warehousing’ of disabled people disabilitynewsservice.com/su… via @johnpringdns

Disabled people’s organisations have strongly condemned last week’s ruling by the Supreme Court, which they say has “dismantled” the system that protected service-users who are unable to consent to restrictions placed on their liberty. disabilitynewsservice.com/su…

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review. They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆. Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit. Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends. And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

🇬🇧 Every British river. 🌊🇬🇧 Has a name older than English. Older than Rome. You still say it. The Thames. The Romans wrote it as Tamesis. But the name they wrote was already old when they arrived. A pre-Celtic name passed to the Celts, passed to Rome, passed to us. The name has changed only in the shape of the sound. The Severn. The Welsh called her Sabrina. A river goddess in the Brittonic tongue. And the Severn still carries her name today. 🏞️ The Trent. The Celts called it Trisanton. A name meaning the trespasser. The river that bursts its banks. And it still bursts its banks. The Avon. The word means river. The Britons called every river the Avon. The English kept the name. The Tyne. A Brittonic name meaning the flowing one. The Dee. A name meaning the goddess, the holy one. The Britons named her sacred and the English left her sacred. The Anglo-Saxons came. They renamed villages. They renamed hills. They renamed almost everything they could. But they did not rename the rivers. The rivers were too holy. The names were too rooted. And so the Brittonic words stayed in English mouths. The Britons did not vanish. Their words did not vanish. Their descendants became the British. And the British still name the river the same way. Every time. 🇬🇧 British people speak a language older than English. Every day. Without noticing. The Britons named the water. The British still call it the same. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The river names are not relics. The villages changed names. The rivers kept theirs. Help us pass our history downstream. 👇🙏 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Here in Canada it’s quicker than a MRI. And don’t worry about signing the Organ Donor paperwork. It come’s with the deal. 2 for the price of one! They will even provide a body guard so your family can’t try to persuade you to live. So progressive. A “no brainer” Dawn French.

If a man's testosterone dropped to menopausal levels overnight...He'd be hospitalized. But when a woman loses her progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, has a sluggish thyroid & insulin resistance? She's told to go vegan, do more cardio & take magnesium. Meanwhile, her metabolism tanks, joints ache, and brain fog sets in. This isn't wellness. It's medical gaslighting.

We're seeing worrying variation in who treats patients, across different NHS trusts. In some areas, patients can be confident they will be treated by a doctor or nurse when needed. But in others it may be a less qualified member of staff. This kind of unsafe care is not acceptable and must end immediately. swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news…

Psychiatry has caused a lot of delays and damage in the field of #MECFS. A lot of work needs to be done to undo harm from theories such as patients excessively resting, being afraid to exercise, or perpetuating their illness. Dr Nina Muirhead, interview in The Times (2020)

When patients consistently feel the need to self-diagnose, it’s a signal that the system isn’t adequately recognizing or organizing their illness. We shouldn’t force a behavior due to an unmet need, then focus on the behavior without addressing the trigger. That’s old hat.

Dr William Weir on how the influence of Simon Wessely and his colleagues created an overriding tendency among doctors to insist that #MECFS is a psychological disorder. Clip from @hope4mefibroni Collaboration for Change 2026

#MECFS patients and advocates not only had to fight flawed research and harmful treatments, they also had to deal with attempts to discredit them, like a PACE author calling an MP “unbecoming” and accusing MPs of defamation and libellous comments for scrutinising his work.

They are all talking about the middle class because none of them know how the working class live. Working class boomers didnt go to University. This is a generation war amongst the middle class who all feel entitled to granny's bank account.
