PIP Review
the minister has announced the co chairs of the review which is meant to be coproduced
why is it that neither of them are primarily based in a disabled people's organisation
what kind of coproduction will this be?
@johnpringdns

Minister announces Clenton Farquharson as co-chair of steering group of PIP review
why not someone from a disabled people's organisation rather than someone associated with a government social care organisation which has achieved what exactly??

Strike! Strike! Strike! - We Are the University

Strike! Strike! Strike! - We Are the University
But We’re Treated Like We’re Disposable

During PMQs Nigel Farage stood up to announce that he’s going on “strike”. The overblown man-baby doesn’t like the fact that all the other MPs keep criticising him, poor chap. Unfortunately, in order for a strike to work, you’d have to do work that anybody would miss in the first place
Farage declares that he's "on strike" at PMQs - not that he ever does his bloody job anyway
Farage to go home and take his toys with him as nobody will ask him a question at PMQs - will now boil his piss from the gallery instead

this really does point the way out of our political mess, by bringing us back to democracy
