@leith1076 The majority of disabled people do end up suffering from depression, anxiety or stress because dealing with something 24/7 that causes you pain, discomfort or drastically affects your life in a negative way with barely any respite tends to take a toll mentally. That's not to

This is another example of a Labour voter being deliberately evasive when confronted with the stark reality of Labour's cuts

literally all of right wing politics in the modern era is them getting mad when experts and the learned show their ideological beliefs don't comport with reality, then throwing a massive temper tantrum. An ideology entirely comprised of wilful ignorance and stupidity
"Prison is ineffective at reducing crime and often very harmful." So reads the Women's Justice Board report commissioned by ministers. And what is Labour's reaction? They welcome the "expert judgement" of the Board.

It never ceases to amaze me how much utter bollocks is spoken about disability benefits from 99% of the political and media class. Total ignorance about even the most basic stuff.

Saying Starmer is honest and decent over and over does not make him honest and decent. It just makes you a demonstrable liar.

It's remarkable how Labour got away with criticising the Conservatives for cutting disability benefits for 14 years, got into office and then cut them by a further 50% for no real reason- a policy backed by only 10% of the population according to YouGov.

Politicians keep repeating that "we all know that work is good for mental health". Research shows it can be under specific ideal circumstances in roles that are very competitive. Unfortunately it often worsens it for others and should not be touted as a substitute for treatment

Well there we are. Labour won't do a thing for disabled people.
🚨 NEW: Labour has shelved its manifesto pledge to let workers sue employers over race and disability pay gaps after pressure from businesses [@martinabettt]

Labour has a disability problem. It seems in everything they do, they continally and egregiously exclude disabled people. They are more ableist than the Tories. It's f*cking weird
The government's latest failure... 16.8 million people (25%) are disabled in the UK, but when it came to this govt setting up a Civil Society Council, not one of the 13 members they appointed was disabled. Pathetic. https://t.co/zkP7rwpn6Z

I can’t help but see the British preoccupation with “overdiagnosis” as the flailing of a culture that has given up on the clinical mission of addressing the full spectrum of human distress and disability, because they think they can’t afford to provide the needed care (scarcity),

#DWP So DWP want disabled people into work, yet have a strict screening process in their own department called Fit For Jobs Questionnaire to filter out applicants with health conditions https://t.co/xbUHJX9yNb

Ministers are facing questions over why the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is using a strict screening process to filter out potential recruits with health conditions, while repeatedly comp…

Ministers said Motability changes wouldn’t impact disabled people. @TransportForAll has compiled testimony from disabled people that calls this into question. I’ve written to the Government with 70 organisations raising concerns. Ministers must listen to disabled people.

The UC Health Element Cut was sold as necessary due to welfare cost and economic inactivity "Spiralling out of control". Neither is true. We were told it was to get more disabled into work, yet the OBR reckon it will have almost no impact. It's time to #CanceltheCut
How has this week's forecast affected the outlook for welfare spending? There has been little change, and considering spending as a share of GDP it does not look out of control.

There is no "moral case" for threatening and starving disabled people into jobs they are unable to do, that don't exist and that don't want them.

🚨 Imagine fighting every day just to exist, then some posh podcast prick calls your life a 'half-life' and pretends benefit cuts are moral. 🤡 Fuck right off with that ableist bs. 👀 REALITY: 💥 547k disabled people job-hunting RIGHT NOW 💥 Only 726k vacancies total – most
"There's nothing left-wing or progressive about allowing people to be on benefits and lose the most fruitful, productive, years of their lives to a half-life," says @lewis_goodall. With working-age welfare at £145b a year - is the system failing young people?

"I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to get old." Neil Kinnock on Conservative policies now relevant to Labour. Sickened.
where is the fucking outrage? this is the UC rate for the sickest most severely disabled people who are so ill they cannot work - they CANNOT make up the difference. i warn you, DO NOT get sick, DO NOT become disabled; Starmer's government will starve you.

Back in 1993 the Percentage of GDP spent on working age welfare was 5.5% and we were told it was unsustainable. It is now 4.2% and we are told it is unsustainable. Tale as old as time...

**Disclaimer** The 20 metre rule does not reflect how many conditions actually work. With MS and other fluctuating neurological conditions, it isn’t: “I can walk 20 metres” or “I can’t.” It’s: 20 metres one day. 5 metres the next. Sometimes none at all. Heavy
