DWP response to my FOI request re ages of PIP claimants and the proposed new 4 point rule. I've submitted a similar FOI re ESA and LCWRA (age data and the 4 points) - DWP response still awaited on that. #DisabilityBenefits

🔥 Well said these MPs.
This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza.
Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.

It seems like on BlueSky only big accounts who already have 10K followers get any traction. Back to X.

Between 300,000 and 1 million people will be affected - why are more people not signing? 100,000 signatures would force the Government to discuss this petition against the #BenefitsCuts in Parliament.

NO cruel cuts to benefits
The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts that experts say will force disabled people into poverty. Don’t think that’s right? Add your name now.

#Eastenders Elaine has the tape! - knows all about Cindy and Junior. So far, she's only put Cindy on notice that she knows. George thinks Elaine was listening to a "true crime" podcast. 😄 Can't wait for showdown on Xmas Day! @bbceastenders

Wham! make chart history as Last Christmas takes festive number one spot for second time in a row
Andrew Ridgeley told the Official Charts his late bandmate George Michael, who died on Christmas Day in 2016 aged 53, would be "utterly delighted" the song had become a festive classic.

Thread 🧵 I was wondering this morning why Facebook marketplace suddenly decided to recommend to me a 29 bedroom themed fantasy house in Skegness costing nearly £1 million? Did Facebook think I had suddenly won the lottery? Well, the answer, dear reader, becomes curiouser and curiouser/2

People telling me it’s great news for comedians/satirists, but I’m not really sure it is. What more can you say about that man? It’s not like he has hidden depths. There’s always laughter in the dark, but this feels pretty inky.
