Wow Torsten, that wad the opposite of what you said when you tried to fuck over disabled people earlier this year.

Defeated (kicking and screaming) on the two-child cap he voted for, defeated (partially) on disability cuts bill he sponsored, & a key player in the budget that extends Tory policies of "fiscal drag" @torstenbell.bsky.social will you meet with communities you represent on Saturday & explain?

Serwotka doubling down on "transphobes must be welcome here". Also we did NOT agree an interim steering committee of officers. There were objections from the floor and no vote was taken!! Serwotka continues to be unelected and self-appointed! morningstaronline.co.uk/article/stak...

Whoa, pegging tax, not fair at all.

DWP in bed with mental health charities makes me sick. I saw a 10 week singing for wellbeing courses recently and wanted to go. Until I read the blurb stating someone would be there to help with work searching...

This impacts around 150k people. Importantly - confidential equality data including protected characteristics, including trans people's identities, were breached in June. Members of this union and Prospect Union were told today, almost 4 months later. The Information Commissioner's Office .. [1/3]

Although Limmy is the only one I watch fairly regularly. None of this political debate-bro stuff can compete with a 50yo Scotsman watching old Cilla Black programs from the '80s and '90s. Seriously.

Dafydd Williams, Senedd candidate has questioned whether Torsten Bell, Swansea West MP is fit for office. Mr Bell called members of the Disabled People against cuts (DPAC) “keyboard warriors”. In Mr Bell’s constituency, 90% of PIP claimants are at risk of losing support. #PlaidCymru #PartyOfWales

The Labour plan is to do what the Tories did but worse.

Swansea West MP Torsten Bell seems reluctant to hear our concerns, say Swansea Disabled People Against Cuts (Swansea DPAC) @dpac-cymru.bsky.social @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social #DPAC #Disability #Wales (Letter to editor, Western Mail, 4 October 2025. Plain text: docs.google.com/document/d/1...)

I'm glad the left candidate won the Green leadership election but I do get weird vibes from him. He strikes me as a moral vacuum who is posing left for purely opportunist reasons. So hope you all keep him accountable.

what an absolute shitshow

hot take maybe but it’s good that it’s called the department of war because it is a department of war.

@mikekanemp.bsky.social Good morning Mike Kane, You lied to disabled people. You told me personally that the cuts will help disabled people. With a straight face. I am forming the Queer Party (queerparty.co.uk). And I will be standing in the next General Election against you as a Queer Party MP.

DPAC Cymru is calling for the UK government’s PIP review to be led by disabled people, not politicians. 📣 The UK Government has broken promises - and our trust. It’s time for real accountability. ✍️ Add your name: bit.ly/independent-pip-review

#WelfareNotWarfare 📢Join DPAC to protest against Labour policies killing disabled people outside Labour Party conference in Liverpool 📢29/09/2025 at 12pm. We will assemble near the Wheel of Liverpool on Keel Wharf L3 4FN. 📢 We encourage those who can to bring a mask

RE: Your Party and trans rights. Lots to be frustrated about at the Swansea meeting but at least there was instant applause for trans rights and not a single voice against. It's about the only clear thing the 100 people in the room united on.

Stephen Timms MP promised co-production. What did he have in mind? Just 10 people. #TimmsReview #DPAC #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare #Disability #Wales #Cymru @disrebellion.bsky.social @dpac-cymru.bsky.social @swanseadpac.bsky.social @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social @blacktriangleuk.bsky.social

It seems I'm not the only one who does not consider my home being shaken by jets flying terrifyingly low a Treat

I wrote this yesterday, but today the threat to PIP is even more pressing. Stephen Timms promised parliament that the review into the PIP benefit would be "co-produced" by disabled people and their organisations. The last I heard, he meant he would talk to 12 people. Today, he said he means 10(!)

So Labour is considering overruling the Supreme Court to protect car loan companies but not to protect trans people’s human rights. Starmer WANTS to harm trans people, the Supreme Court misjudgment is just a fig-leaf for his transphobia.
