Good news - DWP has finally published UC Health data, splitting out those who have migrated over from legacy benefits (ESA).
What does the data tell us?
ESA migration accounts for most of the rise in UC Health claims over the past year - but new claims explain more of the rise since the pandemic.

Comparison, whether it's with others or a past version of yourself, is about the most destructive thing you can do to yourself.
And yes,it's all about your mental capacity and mental energy. It's never about your actual abilities. This guy is spot on. Stop being hard on yourself.
And NEVER compare

If it’s hard for you, then it’s hard. That’s enough reason to take it seriously.

This doesn't sound like casual racism or racism of the time, the more I see, the more it appears to be targeted, deliberate racism at individuals, when, even though he was in his teens, he would have know was wrong and deliberately said to be hurtful.

"Another argued that giving people labels such as anxiety or depression "over-medicalises life and emotional difficulties", and that this was taking resources away from people with severe needs."
Fine, then give me access to therapy to help me deal with that shit. No? Drugs then, please!

Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists
The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs
That's an extra £3 billion a year
Why?
Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

So trans kids are banned from
- receiving appropriate healthcare
- using the right toilets at school
- (context-specific) having their name and pronouns respected
- playing sport
- joining the Girl Guides
It’s all deliberate. The ghouls at Sex Matters think they can *force* trans kids to be cis.

No Whamageddon this year. It's all about #Whamadise.
Instead of avoiding Last Christmas, every time you hear it you put a small amount towards your favourite charity, then donate the total after Christmas. Very much in the spirit of George Michael who gave a lot of money to good causes 🥰

When I asked Nigel Farage's spokesman last week, he flatly denied that his boss had ever racially abused anyone.
Now Farage is only saying he never did so in a "hurtful way".
Does he think there's a non-hurtful way to racially abuse someone?
