Plans to cut disability benefits will devastate lives including mine. This isn’t “reform”, it’s cruelty and economic madness. If allowed to happen it will be a national scandal. Why we must #StopDisabilityCuts peternicholls.me.uk/2025/03/disabi… Includes points to bring up with your MP:

"Liam Byrne, the chair of the business select committee, warned that government policies were helping make the bottom 40% of households worse off." Let that sink in. Labour is making the poorest 40% of households worse off. Well done @Keir_Starmer. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Let me add: I’ve had this over 20 years now. I’ve had to appeal (and won) EVERY SINGLE benefit assessment except one. incapacity benefit, then esa; DLA then PIP. Even when nothing changes, they remove it. “He’s coping”. YES COZ I GET THE FUCKING WELFARE SUPPORT.

Cannot emphasise how bad this is. Our costs for electrification are dire entirely because we only do it in boom and bust bursts. If you have to train a workforce of 1000s every time you want to do a project it’s always going to lead to cost blowouts as they start from scratch!

Some disturbing things I’ve learned from the ableist trolls I’ve been fighting with these last few days: • hate speech against disabled people is becoming normalised and tolerated • ableists are offended when disabled people fight back - they think we shouldn’t be not seen or…

⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

Hard to think of one image which captures the cowardice, authoritarianism and banality of the Starmer regime, but I think this is a contender

We are watching a Holocaust being inflicted on the Palestinian people by Israel, with the full consent and enthusiastic support of our Labour government. Starmer, Lammy and their cronies are directly responsible for mass murder. Oceans of blood are on their hands.

Bunch of morally corrupt, ableist, privileged, Democidal wankers. Society has failed in the very basic principles of protecting the most vulnerable.

Ableism is why people think it’s ok to shame disabled folks for relying on food delivery services Why they tell us to “just microwave” something Why they say we would be “cured” if we ate better That we don’t “deserve” restaurant quality food They don’t want us to survive

When workers threaten to withhold their labour, it’s “how selfish!!!!!” “sack the whole lot of them!!!” “so greedy!!!” But when billionaires ‘threaten’ to leave the country, the government kowtows to their every demand 😂

The retirement age should be lower. As a rule we all work too many hours for too many years.

“Why are people so mean these days??” So there’s this virus that damages the parts of the brain responsible for empathy and self-control,

the fact the Universal credit bill had its first and second debate and then was passed through the Lords in less time than how often people get uc (every 4-5 weeks) is a fucking travesty

UK Life expectancy is lower today than it was 13 years ago. The increases in life expectancy our elders enjoyed have halted. The government should be reducing the age of retirement not increasing it.

I remember that day. We heard news reports that a suicide bomber had been shot dead on the tube. As the day went on the details got murkier and murkier. I remember thinking: surely they can't have just executed some random member of the public?

Over 1000 Palestinians have now been killed while seeking food at Gaza aid centres. Countless are dying from famine caused by Israel’s aid blockade since March. How many more atrocities must Israel commit before our government stops arms sales and imposes sanctions?

UK govt to review state pension age (SPA). SPA rising to 67 in 2026-28. Further rises likely. Rich retire whenever they want. Others work till bones ache. Life on low wage and low pension. Many won't live long enough to get pension. It is euthanasia. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

This government is just constantly pressing “Accept All Cookies” on the nation’s collective data.
