Anyone who remembers the brutal WRAG cuts of April 2017 under the last govt will know why this research is important. Please share it with MPs + peers so ministers know the grim consequences of cutting out-of-work benefits for disabled people.

I'm pleased by the reaction of Bluesky people about the immigration proposals. Now I expect the same people to defend benefit and disability benefit claimants when the government is using the same rethorics towards them, using incorrect data and inappropriate language. See the similarities

Just imagining how much of a cvnt McFadden is going to be to the sick/disabled/NEETs if Mahmood is anything to go by.
Because it's definitely incoming. Not sure many of us have much juice left after earlier this year.
A Labour Govt actively instilling fear in every minority they can.

I don't expect the bluesky mods to enforce their TOS against government accounts.
But they are the ones who decided to make the social media site where all the autistic people hang out.
"Say what the rules actually are, then apply them like you said you would" is a bare minimum for this crowd.

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”
