When Paul Nowak became TUC general secretary, I called him a compromised melt who would stick by Starmer at the cost of everyone else. I was called anti-trade union, classist, stupid, etc. Nowak is now calling for PIP to be slashed to the bone. dpac.uk.net/2026/05/dpac-res…

DPAC response to TUC statement on PIP today - DPAC

We are disappointed with the TUC statement on PIP today calling for reform on PIP by linking it with work.

HERE is the spirit of Dubai in one act. My daughter has a severely disabled teacher who gives her extra lessons at weekends. He’s wheelchair bound. Today we expected him to cancel. Yet he’s taking a special vehicle across town to get to her. 😍 That’s how we are. 🇦🇪

Hi @campbellclaret - you’re listed as a supporter of @cleanupbritain on their website. Do you support their increasingly right wing agenda, including them campaigning to force people on Universal Credit to work for no pay?
