🧵 Last night, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall suggested some people are "taking the mickey" by claiming benefits instead of working.

Given many on disability benefits have mental health problems, comments like this trivialise the realities of mental illness. It’s deeply disheartening. 1/5

Tonight will be really hard for some people. Please be patient with those with #mentalillness. I struggle too so I know there’ll be far too many people out there also struggling. Check out @samaritans.bsky.social @mindcharity.bsky.social or google ‘helpline near me’ or similar.
