Anita Bellows DWP says “200,000” people on health benefits want to work right now” That figure is extrapolated from a survey of 3000 people with a 21% response rate. The number saying they could work now with the right support was 171. Extrapolating “200,000” from 171? Bollox.

NEW: Tens of thousands of disabled households could face a “triple hit” of benefit cuts due to the impact on Carer’s Allowance DWP figures show 95,000 unpaid carers stand to lose PIP - and for some the impact could be even worse By me, for the Big Issue bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

❗ NEWS: The Shadow Chancellor has signalled support for more cuts to the social security system. 9.3 MILLION people are already facing hunger and hardship. This would only push more people to the doors of food banks.

The DWP doesn't know how many of the 95,000 care for someone who scored under four points in each daily living category But around half of all daily living claimants are exposed to the four-point rule, so tens of thousands of households are likely at risk of this “triple hit”

Huge thanks to Disability Action Haringey and Disability Action in Islington for their financial support for the work of DNS. I'm massively grateful to them, and of course to all the DPOs and others who have supported DNS over the last 16 years. Disability Action Haringey Disability Action In Islington

Thanks LBC for publishing my article reflecting on Shadow Chancellor's speech calling for 'bolder reform' of welfare (usually = more cuts). There’s nothing fiscally prudent about deepening hunger & hardship, driving up the costs these create in our public services and economy.

DWP hides truth from coroner on exactly what happened in lead-up to Jodey Whiting’s suicide disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-hides-trut… via Disability News Service

This is brilliant from Disability Rights UK. I would go one step further and demand a public inquiry into the years of #DWP deaths, including Jodey Whiting's. The hundreds (probably thousands) of disabled people who have died deserve justice: x.com/DisRightsUK/st…

I just don't understand how Department for Work and Pensions gets away with hiding information from coroners, and even misleading them. How can this keep happening? #DWP #JodeyWhiting #ErrolGraham #PhilippaDay disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-hides-trut…

À Calais, 46 personnes en exil ont disparu, sans que l’on retrouve leurs corps, depuis 2020. Et ce, dans le silence total des autorités. C’est une terrible enquête de Maïa Courtois, M@ël, Simon Mauvieux et Valentina Camu à lire & voir dans Mediapart mediapart.fr/journal/france…

L'administration Trump & le dictateur Bukele ont plié face à la justice. En avril, la Cour suprême (unanime) avait enjoint de faciliter le retour de l’homme expédié par « erreur administrative» dans les geôles sinistres du Salvador. Aujourd'hui, il est revenu aux Etats-Unis :

In these days of cheap clothes and toys, is child poverty really up? thetimes.com/comment/column…

Good on Turn2us - Tackling Financial Insecurity Together for putting together a guide for journalists reporting on the benefits system. With the PIP vote coming up, there’s no excuse for the media to use inaccurate or stigmatising language.

Be clear, this WFP change is not a U-turn. That would have been to give it to all pensioners (which will happen) but not take it back from some. So this is perhaps a J turn at best. But the principle of universal benefits has been lost. As it was with child benefit. Sad.

Totally agree with this. Can someone tell me why somebody earning £34.000 or £35,000 should be treating differently, when one rents his house and the other owns it? Universal benefits are not only cheaper but recognises that circumstances are different for different people.

Salgado's work raises some important questions as to whether photos of people who are suffering should ever be described as 'beautiful'.

I am on twitter and bluesky. On Bluesky hardly anybody speaks about disability benefit cuts.
