Job coaches sent to mental health wards is clearly obscene but it’s the natural end point of an agenda that equates health with productivity. If you believe humans are only valuable when they earn a wage, the NHS is a tool - not to help patients - but to get them back to work.

Horrific. To be in a mental health hospital, as I’ve been many times as both a professional and a patient, means you’re very, very ill. A job coach visiting implies the patient hasn’t been ‘doing life right,’ adding to trauma and stress. This is dangerous: tinyurl.com/4jyx98uz

Is this what The Labour Party means when it vows to 'save' the NHS? Private firms delivering core NHS services for shareholder profit? Some people may not care that healthcare for entire populations is being outsourced to private equity. I do. I'm horrified. Ends/

“DWP pen pushers evangelising about some mythical cure-all miracle called ‘work’. This is both infantilising and victimising. The DWP remain a threat to our lives and this only gives them more weapons to assault us with.” - Recovery in the Bin spelling it out 🎯🙏for the fab Disability News Service 💜

More than the Maccabi fans, the real culprits of this week have been the media. A media that would tell us the sky was red if it were in Israel's interests. The biggest engine of disinformation on the planet, exponentially greater than Trump and Putin put together.

Sky News This should be an educational experience for everyone. You can see here how you are being lied to. This is disinformation from @skynews and other media outlets. They are bending reality and the truth. Don't let them get away with it.

Incapacity benefit is just £62.85 per week for those under retirement age and £77.70 for those over it. The attendance allowance for the Lords is up to £361 *per day*. Which is unsustainable? Lords call for overhaul of 'unsustainable' incapacity benefits theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Cutting £5bn from PIP will mean LESS disabled people will be able to work. Many people use PIP to help cover extra costs associated with work – like transport and assistance. This is not a 'brave' choice by Labour. 'Brave' would be bringing in a wealth tax. #DisabilityBenefits

When this government says disabled people ought to work, we ask: Where are the jobs? The level-access commuter trains? The accessible homes? The carers to dress me at 6am? (Right, Brexit made them leave.) The reduction in wait times for Access to Work, Wheelchair Services?

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.
