Jeez. This is awful. @richardburgon.bsky.social asked the Gov’t why people will no longer get PIP who need help to go to the toilet, cut up food or wash themselves.
The response is appalling.
It claims these disabled people just need "small interventions or the addition of aids or appliances”

Horrific reports from Gaza: more health workers, ambulances, hospitals attacked as they try to save survivors.
We all must demand that hospitals and medics not be targeted.

Labour Governments’ policy to loosen the bureaucracy around planning applications for new homes, is resulting in precious green belt land (such as the area known as Spondon Wood - see photo) being re-categorised as grey belt in order for controversial applications to be approved. Shameful 😡

I really am beginning to despair about the state of politics & politicians. Listening to the tit-for-tat jibes & jeers across the HoC floor is so frustrating.

Yes, there’s a lot of worry & anxiety in the UK but just take a moment or two to think of those poor innocent children & adults - people just like us - who are now living in fear of more air strikes.

Snr school form teachers, who have - & show - zero interest in the welfare of the children in their form group, should not be teachers. Do they not realise the impact this lack of care can have on young lives?

Billionaires don't like disability benefits, they don't get them.
They don't like pensions, they don't need them.
They don't like Universal Healthcare, they want those massive profits from killing you.
Don't let them take these things, it is very bad for you.

I’m getting really disillusioned with Labour. I really thought they would be the best choice to turn things round & get this country back to where it needs to be. Their strap line “for the many, not the few” seems to have disappeared.

Attended a charity event, today. People were spending £85 on a bottle of champagne. Yes, I know 🍾 isn’t cheap but what an utter waste of money. How much more money could the charity have benefitted from if people drank something cheaper & donated the difference?

Tice is a tax dodging conman, the only thing that interests him is how much wealth he could bleed from Scotland to stuff in his and his mates of shore accounts. He is an enemy of Scotland. ReformUK will increase poverty in Scotland.

People on benefits are already in deep poverty. The Labour Party should exist to help them to have better lives. Instead it’s determined to make their suffering worse.

Victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal victim offered compensation after death.
The slow process of compensation is utterly shameful and adding to pain. People are being bounced into accepting lower amounts.
No one has been charged or prosecuted for this long running scandal.
