@pollytoynbee.bsky.social Do you realise that the health element of UC is being cut in half for new claims from April 2026? Or that Macfadden has stated he decides the future of PIP not the unrepresentative 'Review'? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist - this isn't about representing the people of Gorton and Denton, it's about using this place as a platform for their careers.

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social this is what the @theguardian.com permissive attitude to ableist language leads to. This is grossly offensive to autistic people like myself.

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social Why are the IFS and Resolution Foundation seen as independent when both operate through the lens of orthodox anti-social (neo/classical liberal) economics? Sure they are not aligned with party's, they cling to household budget fallacy, oppose pro-social economics.

@rjpartington.bsky.social in your article on the reverse right to buy in Brighton, you use the terms social and affordable housing interchangeably when they are not the same, the latter defined in law as 80% market rent, the former (council or PRP owned) around 50%, politicians do this to obfuscate!

@theguardian.com in your reporting of the 'record' high numbers of UC claiments dont you think you should point out that the DWP is fast tracking legacy benefit claiments onto UC, hence the numbers on UC going up, and point out in the reduction in legacy benefit numbers.
