Fun fact: he is claiming to be unable to afford less than I, out of my part time salary and Universal Credit, have had to pay for private medical treatment this year.

If I can afford 2k, you can afford 2k.

One of my enduring memories is having a number of automatic firearms pointed at me at point-blank range on a rainy November night, running down the street and ducking behind a car in nothing but a gown while neighbours across the road shouted "hahaha Benefits Street!!!"
Do we or do we not live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

If you can't afford £2000 a year despite having assets of over £2m, maybe you should cut down on Starbucks. Or just end yourself.

Since I was first diagnoised in 2010, I've had (on average) approximately one assessment every 8-10 months.
"more face-to-face meetings for determining disability benefits"

Reeves wants to do MORE catastrophically costly and cruel ATOS nonsense. Its been proven to be inhumane and not make any savings, the UN called it ideologically driven harm.

politics of cruelty. and of cultivating memes about marginalised people (they’re all living it up with sports cars!’) and then ‘responding’ to those memes. with cruelty
Rachel Reeves has removed Audi, BMW, Mercedes from the motability scheme because disabled people aren’t allowed nice things ignoring the better resale values and the fact cars like the Audi A1 and BMW 1-series are hardly limos www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/con...
UK's Motability scheme no longer includes premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes | Autocar
Announcement comes just weeks after chancellor Rachel Reeves vowed to axe luxury models from the programme

All it has taken to get the DWP to investigate my missing national insurance credits (which should've been made automatically because I was getting IB-ESA and then UC) is:

4 emails from my MP
6 emails, two phonecalls and one visit from me.
2 emails from HMRC
An email and a phonecall from the PHSO

DWP have emailed my MP.

They're only /just/ starting to investigate the issue that he reported to them in --JULY--. After telling me over the phone in July that they were already investigating.

Remember when I literally said she was going to use the two child cap as a trade, so MPs would let her cut benefits like she's always truly wanted?
Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at welfare cuts.

Why do govts not cut corporate welfare?

Subsidies for auto, steel, oil, gas, biomass, internet, shipbuilding and others, without any equity stake.

Profiteering by energy, water, phone, house builders, care home, dental care companies.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at more welfare cuts after previous rebellion - but authority on shaky ground
The government's earlier efforts to reform welfare and save £5bn ended in an inglorious failure.

I know a thing or two about research methodology and... This kind of sucks.
The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

I remember when I had covid and had to be hospitalised for my abscess at the same time.

I did a PCR test a day or two before (before abscess) and it came back ~inconclusive~. I did one a few hours before I ended up in A&E. and then A&E did one.

The A&E one came back neg, mine was pos

funny how if we - whether we be trans, disabled, whatever - had said this, we'd have been called rabid conspiracy theorists
Here's Kemi Badenoch, at the time the Minister for Women and Equalities, claiming there's a need to top load anti-trans figures into positions of power in Equality and Health.

Even by her admission, they wouldn't have been able to commisson the Cass Review without having done this.
