Women who haven’t come forward for cervical screening will be offered self-sampling kits. As part of the 10 Year Health Plan, we’re tackling the barriers that keep some women away from potentially lifesaving screenings. Learn more: gov.uk/government/new…

I’m sorry, the DWP announcing “don’t worry, the benefits u-turn means only 150,000 people will be pushed into poverty now!” is just insane. Cruel, incompetent ghouls who shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath let alone a system sick people rely on to live.

Let me be clear: this is actively traumatic for disabled people. We’re treated as economic bodies—worth less if we can’t work—and not even consulted. It’s retraumatising after years of this, worse because it’s Labour, and worse still because of the scale of cuts. #TakingThePIP

All the Labour MPs are doomscrolling, I hear. It was a travesty in parliament earlier with near silence and almost no murmurs of support. This is unheard of. Please, if you have any spoons left, tweet or retweet. #TakingThePIP

‘One option is to keep a freeze on tax thresholds in place for longer. The policy (from Conservatives) was due to end in April 2028. If Reeves extended it until the end of the parliament, it could bring in nearly £7bn’ Do this: far better than #TakingThePIP or £££ from #Welfare

This. A diagnosis, copious evidence from a variety of different doctors & professionals & seemingly a core assumption that ‘most people are trying it on’ rather than ‘how can we best enable this person to have the funds they need to just to live AND to have a bit of dignity?’

Dr Jay Watts If dwp is more embedded into healthcare noone will trust HCPs & feel every interaction is a work capability assessment. It could mean people leave conditions and deteriorate.

SEVERE CONDITION CRITERIA The Green Paper is diminished, but please lobby against the ‘severe condition criteria’—a hugely dangerous and discriminatory change to UC health rules that would drastically increase new claimants’ financial and psychological precarity. #TakingThePIP

Disabled person: Explains how PIP works, the assessments, and how difficult it is. Abled person: “Nah that’s bullshit” This is the real issue. No matter what we say, no matter how often we tell them the facts, they will never listen or believe us.

This is so, so important Louise Jones MP - please please listen to the voices of the people living in terror of these potentially life-ending changes. Increase in suicidality & people feeling unworthy & invalidated. Please don’t be one of those #TakingThePIP #DisabilityBenefits
