Apologies for not being on for a while.But I wanted to share this. @areyoflight #DisabilityRebellion shared this article on FB, I read it & was so disgusted even from the Telegraph.Reported to IPSO for inaccuracy & discrimination.T.W for gross scapegoating.

Paying welfare for staying at home is not a kindness. It is trapping millions in miserable dependency

Done enough for today 🫠.Will they listen especially the big wigs eg Kendall, Timms, Reeves, 🤔 .Who knows 🤷.Several comments made to Liz’s speech inc IPPR & DWP .She is delusional if she thinks these cuts will get people working or save the welfare state.#disabilityrebellion

Not all disabled people can work .We’re not all the same either 🤦🏼.This is gives off “look some people with the right support get into work, so the rest of you can do it too” all while cutting billions from welfare including tightening PIP which has nothing to do with work .🙄.
When people get the right support, people who want to work get the opportunity to work. Our welfare reforms will unleash the potential of people in every corner of the land
