⚠️Today's stats reveal that the number of renters facing homelessness continues to rise. ⚠️ Even when S21 evictions are abolished, renters could still face insecurity. We need longer protection, more notice, and financial support if we’re evicted for reasons beyond our control📢

In the housing field I work with conscientious and moral colleagues. I have seen many in recent weeks leaving X for understandable reasons. Currently I will remain on X so those in need can contact me. I will also be setting up an account on bluesky and exploring other outlets

I have made the move to bluesky: @lewis-sjl.bsky.social I will keep this account open so you can still reach me here but will only be active on bluesky as my personal views and morals no longer align with this platform

Consultation for NHS change is open. It would be great to see more social prescribers for a holistic approach on matters that detrimentally impact health such as housing, education and accessibility. If you have 15 mins > change.nhs.uk/en-GB/projects…

As a disabled person working full time and claiming PIP for aids and equipment enabling me to work attacks on PIP under the guise of tackling unemployment doesn’t make sense. - cut NHS wait times - reform ADHD assessment - improve housing and accessibility Before touching PIP

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and will cost lives.

4 points in daily living activities is for care and supervision. Adult social services do not have the means to support an influx of PIP applicants applying for care. PIP would therefore need to be increased to pay for private carers. Costs are more than they wish to save

Around a million people will lose maybe £5,000 a year from these 'reforms'. The gainers will receive a pittance. This was not in Labour's manifesto. It is not the change people voted for. It is immoral.

I’m surprised that out of all the MP’s I emailed regarding changes to PIP the only response I have received is from the Tory shadow work and pensions secretary Helen Whately MP. I never thought I’d see the day Tory MP’s respond on disability matters before Labour

Our advice lines at DR UK have been overrun with people getting in contact, frightened about the benefits cuts news. As Government policies protect the pockets of the rich, they seek to plunge more Disabled people into poverty and despair.

This LBC article shows Rachel Reeves has no comprehension PIP is not an unemployment benefit, and the effects this will have on working disabled people 🤦‍♀️ also I’m a solicitor in full time employment not a child with pocket money apple.news/AKyuDHWzeQEyXX…

I am attending Disability Rights UK mass lobby event today against The Labour Party proposed cuts to disability benefits. My opposition is PIP is not an unemployment benefit, 4 point rule will exclude those needing equipment and the causes of disability and unemployment need to be addressed
