Has anyone had a formally agreed 'cancellation' of 'managed migration' from Income Related ESA to UC ?
If so, have they said you will get another letter, soon?
Or will you lose ESA when the move ends (March 2026)? whatdotheyknow.com/request/m… @Dis_PPL_Protest @DPACSheffield @DPACne

This is how people on the streets today feel about the Labour party. This can't be what you signed up for @Lola__McEvoy

Let’s be clear: £6bn in disability cuts isn’t a ‘reform.’ It’s state violence. It’s political abandonment. And it would cost lives. Labour knows this—so don’t do it anyway. #DisabilityBenefits

As I told @itvcalendar: someone could need help cutting their food, washing themselves and going to the toilet — and still not qualify for PIP.
That's totally unacceptable.
The Government must drop this horrifying plan and instead tax extreme wealth, not target those in need.

To any wacko heads who believe this story I invite you to go find a goose in a pond and carry it away.
Call me if you live.
Trump: Residents are reporting the migrants are walking off with the town's geese. They've taken the geese and even walking off with their pets. My dog's been taken. My dog's gone.

A few days ago a Reform candidate said autistic people were vegetables.
thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
As usual only the autistic community pushed back.
Given the controversial views of this party & its members should we be worried?

A letter to the new UK government... 👇#generalection2024
ALT Dear new UK government, Congrats on the new job! We know you'll have a lot in your inbox right now. So we thought we'd help with your to-do list. The mental health system is broken. It's daunting, but it's fixable. Here's the first steps you must take: 1 - Raise the standard of mental health hospitals 2 - Reform the outdated mental health act 3 - Fund a network of early support hubs for young people 4 - Fix benefits assessments for disabled people 5 - Support people with mental health problems to thrive at work Mental health services are one of the top 5 things the public wants our new government to spend more money on. So you've got the public's support. It's time to fix the mental health system and save lives.

Things I didn't know about James Timpson
And they’re all good 👍🏼
5 Jul 2024
Timpson’s are well-known for employing ex-offenders to help them back into work. They pay their tax. They value their staff. And then there’s this.
CEO James Timpson (who’s also Chair of the Prison Reform Trust) is the new Prisons Minister. Great appointment

Lady in green, "I had an overwhelming feeling on anxiety and fear about how well the Reform party had done.. I want to hear from Labour and LibDems on how they're going to push back from dangerous anti immigrant right wing rhetoric"
Ben Habib "Reform is not a right wing party"

We’ve got an army of supporters out every day delivering leaflets and knocking on doors. I’ve been right across the region talking to people in towns and cities.
Everywhere its the same. We’re getting support and winning votes from across the political spectrum.
Why? Because people are tired of a two party system that doesn’t represent them. They want a strong independent voice for this region. Someone with experience and a track record.
I spoke to @thehousemag and @siennamarla about why I’m confident of winning on 2nd May’

Major £4bn investment in a new data centre at former Britishvolt site in Cambois announced. 1600 jobs with further 2700 in construction phase. Great work from colleagues at @N_landCouncil and more good news for Blyth.
This year we’ll complete the Ashington to Newcastle line and open the Energy Central Learning Hub. Big projects made possible by collaborating, rather than playing party political games.

I’m hearing people from right across the political spectrum saying they’ll vote for me.
Why? People are saying they’re tired of party politics and they just want someone with a track record who’ll get the job done.
This isn’t a General Election. It’s a local election to find the right person to lead the North East as Mayor. Someone who’ll fight for the North East rather than toeing the line of Party HQ’s in London.
Vote for me, an Independent Mayor who’ll put the people of the North East above petty party politics.
