i want to break down some disability stats because i see a lot of people balking at the idea that there are 16 million disabled people in the UK (only 3.6 million of those on PIP, and only 37% of those claimants on the highest amount of £737 a month) let’s have a 🧵 shall we?

No cases of cervical cancer have been reported in those who have received the HPV vaccine at school in my home country Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 None Not one ! It's an amazing anti cancer vaccine HHS Secretary RFK Jr is against the vaccine.

It is currently essentially impossible for some sub specialities of cardiology to be clinical academics due to the impact of GIM training. Let that sink in - by design, without foresight, it’s not possible to be a clinical academic cardiologist. 🫠

New Money and Mental Health research warns that government’s planned PIP reforms will have a “catastrophic impact” on people’s finances and mental health, and could drive people out of the workplace. It says "A system which was already doing a poor job of understanding how mental health

Just to be clear PIP is not an out of work benefit. It is fundamental to understand the absolute basics when we reform the welfare system

Can we stop talking about £5bn a year spending cut. People on benefits spend their money straight away and very locally. It’s £5bn a year being taken off local shops and businesses. It’s £5bn a year less supporting local jobs. It will close shops and businesses and cut jobs.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

PIP makes it possible for disabled people to come closer to enjoying a normal life: eating, dressing, meeting with friends, going to work. Every PIP pound is spent locally, those pounds are spent, lots of taxes are paid. The PIP cuts are inhuman. They are also economic stupidity.

The Government say that 150,000 unpaid carers will lose Carers Allowance as a result of the proposed cuts in their Welfare Bill. What the heck are we doing here? In what world is this the right thing to do? Liberal Democrats will be voting against these appalling cuts.

There is a difference between what someone with opportunity is given and someone without can achieve. Many buildings don't even have doors wide enough for wheelchairs or provision of parking spaces. #DisabilityBenefits #NotInMyName

The Guardian has now confirmed that if an existing claimaint loses their PIP on reassessment, which happens regularly due to assessor error, they will then become a 'new claimant' and therefore subject to the 4-point rule. So, no one is so-called protected. Kill the bill.

Labour MP Rachel Maskell is asking MPs to sign a new *reasoned amendment* to block the welfare reform bill Maskell's new amendment rejects the bill because: — No consultation with disabled groups — OBR will not analyse impact of reforms until late 2025 — Employment funding will

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi… This is a powerful read and clearly sets out why women will be put at risk should these changes to social security go ahead. It is chilling.

Anybody who says "genuinely disabled people have nothing to worry about" has clearly never interacted with the DWP or been through an "assessment"

Regular update on how many jobs there are for disabled people, according to DWP Find a Job All Jobs: 110,705 Fully Remote (formerly "home working"): 651 + Disability confident: 70 + part time: 11 But 2 of the "home working" jobs are in care homes, so its actually 9 NINE

Thank you for all the suggestions for attracting more hot men to the National Trust. My favourite so far was getting Hot Priest to come and hide out in some of our priest holes. If anyone knows Andrew Scott please can you raise the idea with him - just casually.
