If anyone wants to truly understand what the benefits system is like in this country, I recommend watching ‘I, Daniel Blake’. It’s available in full here: dai.ly/x8jhefw. Don’t bother with #Dispatches.

Last night’s @C4Dispatches programme was bitterly disappointing 📺 This was a chance to challenge the negative rhetoric on disability benefits. But instead, it felt like another hit job on ill and disabled people 🧵

The hardest work l've ever done wasn't paid. It was staying alive when I was at my lowest. It was caring for someone I loved. It was surviving when survival felt impossible. Work takes many forms. #DWP #Benefits #InvisibleWork #Work
