We’ve moved from ‘social security’ to ‘welfare’; from minimum entitlements to food banks; and now reducing child poverty is rebadged as a ‘benefit street’ budget. What have we become?

This👇is my own MP, @marykfoymp.bsky.social. Hard to disagree…and kudos for using the term ‘social security’, not the loaded ‘welfare’.

You need to acknowledge it's a societal crisis caused by unfettered greed and capitalism #r4today.

Andrew Neil a lickspittle to any rich rightwing paymaster he can find, spewing his hatred for the poor. Despicable.

The UK's major political parties have all truly swallowed Morrissey's "the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy' line #r4today. Shame on all of you.

Some of us are young enough to remember #r4today when those who used to be called Directors of Social Services would have been in the vanguard of the opposition to measures which further eroded social security benefits for sick & disabled people.

Absolutely tragic. How many more families and loved ones will have to read the words 'care coordinator did not meet her as planned' before something is done about so called 'mental health services' @sussexpartnership.bsky.social ?
