It's worth asking *how* cuts to non-health related benefits can cause increased receipt of disability benefits. This is covered in the paper. The causal channels discussed are increased takeup by those already meeting the criteria; and worsening health as a result of cuts to other benefits.

Minister misleads MPs as mystery deepens over new £2 billion cuts to disability benefits #DWP #Budget2025 #BenefitCuts www.disabilitynewsservice.com/minister-mis...

Yes I know them, we went to Twitter together.

ECHR – Starmer’s red lines 👇🏾 He comes across as one of the most dishonest and fake politicians of our time - an awful man.

A couple of million people still get their morning news from R4 Today, where the editorial often follows whatever the Mail or Telegraph have their knickers in a twist about that day. And that then feeds as the news for all other BBC radio outlets. 31m people listen to BBC radio a week.

Sick fvcks. I'm to be sacrificed at the altar of stopping the far right and I'm supposed to accept this as it's the sensible progressive thing to do? Nah mate, you can fvck right off with this shit.

Just fvck right off with this shit. Fvck Trump and fvck every single American that voted for the cvnt. No longer our allies and Starmer is still tickling his balls, eager to swallow.

Bought and paid for. Genocide is progressive actually. Get tae fvck you absolute horrific monster.

Interesting and timely @resolutionfoundation.org research showing that redesigning Scottish disability benefits to give claimants a more dignified experience doesn't mean the system becomes more expensive or claims have to rise. www.resolutionfoundation.org/press-releas...

Sad news.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Those NEETs with anxiety ADHD and autism will be forced into the famously holistic environment of the constriction site. Or the famously quiet, underwhelming environment of hospitality where you don't meet hundreds of new ppl every day. Don't/can't take a job? fvck you you're sanctioned.

Blimey.

Streeting always makes me wonder whether we under-diagnose narcissistic psychopaths.

Watchdog’s silence after removing figures that showed social security spending is not ‘spiralling’ #OBR #Budget25 #Treasury www.disabilitynewsservice.com/watchdogs-si...

Starmer. The Tories aren't a bad bunch, actually. 'He' might feel safe to sleep at night under the Tories but millions of others won't be and weren't for 14 fvcking years. What a repulsive piece of shit he is.

just another beautiful day in socially murdering the disabled while simultaneously disabling more and more previously unaffected people like a roaring fucking chute straight down into hell

What a CUNT.

The Great Awakening. The Facebook flag shagging morons in my town have found out that Reform won't just take benefits from the forrins but also from them too. They've gone from 'we're his foot soldiers he won't do this to us,' to 'WTAF I'm going to lose my ESA/UC/PIP, why is he doing this?'

Things you never thought you needed to see. Top tier FPV drone work.

Utter bullshit/lies from the "Centre for Social Justice" via the Express.

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't. 'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't. 'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

For every YouTube channel 'advising' people how to claim benefits there are at least 100 accountant channels telling people the best ways to avoid paying tax. Funny that is never mentioned.

Give Sam a sub. Top bloke and one of my favs to watch through the week.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

“Just three companies – DMG Media, News UK and Reach – control 90% of UK national newspaper circulation, a 20% increase in market concentration since 2014. Newsquest and National World – control 51% of the UK’s 882 local newspapers and local news websites” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

box of cereal is like a quid more than it was six months ago but at least now disabled people can't put their own money towards a car that's nicer than the government thinks they deserve

This is the best overview of what Rachel Reeves is doing to motability I've read. Spoiler alert, it's not good. In fact it's fvcking disgusting.

Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?” Zohran Mamdani: "We're gonna make this a city that doesn't just protect trans kids, but also celebrates and cherishes them."

The OBR says the rise in claims was linked to the cost of living crisis The way disabled people have been vilified over PIP, as if they were trying to play the system, was disgusting & shameful Hacks & commentators that engaged in the grotesque demonisation of disabled people should be ashamed.

£26 billion tax rise announced today in Labour's budget £90 billon, how much tax revenue is lost because of Brexit EVERY Year The reason taxes are going up and spending is being cut is because we can't afford stuff because of Brexit!

So we are clear welfare spending in this country is NOT “out of control”. It’s risen very little in 10+ years. Small increase due to ageing & ill population. But benefits to working age families & children have been cut severely. Over 70% of children in poverty live in working families #Budget2025

Labour are putting in place all of the tools and eliminating fundamental protections that will enable Reform to come in 2029 and govern in an overtly fascist and totalitarian way. No jury trials, digital ID, elimination of the ECHR etc. It feels intentional. This will only end badly.

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. #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/labour-cuts-...

If disability benefits spending is flat, then welfare spending is probably going down open.substack.com/pub/inequali...

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’. It’s Russian.

You and me We used to be together Every day together, always I really feel That I'm losing my best friend I can't believe this could be the end

Durham will scrap full council-tax rebates, forcing 26,000 low-income working-age residents to start paying for the first time | Peter Morris

Billionaires have literally bought entire media empire to convince you that it's dangerously radical to tax billionaires.

TNT Sport cricket commentary is pretty dire. I swear that's Rob Hatch who normally does the cycling. TMS it is.

Next April’s cuts to out-of-work disability benefits are likely to have “devastating” consequences for disabled people’s mental health, and drive many into serious poverty, research into the impact of similar Conservative reforms has warned. #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/labour-cuts-...

Would you look at that. Labour MP who called who £20bn savings off the welfare bill campaigned on a stance he would fight for above inflation rises to benefits. Lying cunt.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

They're all having an "oh captain my captain" moment but for pedophilia

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.
