These policies, where they aren't just reiterating ones which already exist in a differently worded form, are just plain idiotic.
They show not only a complete disregard for people's lives, or basic humanity, but also reality. 1/

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

The government's language of “work-limiting conditions”, Ryan writes, 'is a rebranding of distress, where, say, Parkinson’s is not a painful illness that affects human beings but an obstacle that prevents arms from stacking shelves for shareholders.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#Exeter's Labour MP @steveracemp.bsky.social has signed a letter about the 'hard choices' on welfare reform.

Huge win for the climate! The Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields are ruled unlawful and consent quashed.

Amazing victory for @stopcambo.bsky.social and @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social and so pleased that my win on Horse Hill contributed to this.
