I think somebody should shut down all social media, make us deal with reality instead of made-up bollox

I keep hearing “we want our country back”. Yeah we all do. How’s about being able to buy a home on one wage? Or wages even being liveable? What about same day GP appointments? Or ambulances arriving within minutes? Clean rivers and beaches? I could go on and on. But I’ll tell one thing… it’s not migrants who’ve taken these possibilities away… it’s capitalist greed. Have you noticed we don’t own anything anymore? Almost everything is subscription… films, music, software for your phone or PC. Tell me how this is anything to do with migrants? Look to the people with the power, not to the people with NONE.

There are millions of disabled people across the UK petrified and worried about Labour’s proposed cuts.
On 30th June and 1st July at protests in London & across the UK as a movement we show them who we are; determined, angry & we will resist government cuts

Thank you we appreciate it.
If you get a chance send your MP colleagues my interview with Sky News I did earlier please. I've been speaking out as well as doing my petition.
Thank you

Disabled people’s organisations, including @Dis_PPL_Protest, @TakingThePIP1 & @DisRightsUK, have rightly condemned Labour’s so-called “concessions” on disability benefit cuts.
It’s not a concession to condemn future generations to less support.
I’ll be voting against this Bill.

I’m afraid this is just what I thought would be the case. #killthebill
And i bet assessors will be incentivised in to harsher judgements so more people lose PIP
For God’s sake keep fighting & writing to your MP. Click the link in my bio: takes 2 mins to do

I’ll bet you’re proud, Angie-Bot. You’ve been programmed by a leader who’s turned off the empathy function of his Labots
They’re not Red Tories. They’re Red Reform

Have I got this right? Starmer’s concessions re: pip is
disabled ppl who don’t score 4 points on 1 daily living q won’t get their PIP yanked now, but at their next review?
new claimants will still have to score 4 points?
If so, how is this a concession?

It’s horrendous. This is cruelty beyond what I thought possible from @UKLabour . They have well and truly become Red Reform #WelfareReformBill
My daughter waited 10 months for her decision. I saw what huge fear and immense stress just applying put her through. Now she has the worry that she could lose some, or all of it. I have no more words for this cruelty.

I have today resigned from the Labour party and joined @TheGreenParty 💚
Labour has lost its moral compass and we need a bold, eco-socialist vision to take on the far right.

thank you @DawnButlerBrent #TakingThePIP
I signed this amendment because my gov need to pause.
From my time in the Employment Service, I know the system needs reform. But we must do it with compassion, proper consultation, a full impact assessment and Labour values at it's core.
Let’s take our time and get it right.

Accepting Badenoch’s rescue surely can’t mean anything but humiliation for Starmer?
How can Labour form an alliance with Tories? Instead of being in opposition, they have merged in to one. Both leaders deserve to be ousted and both parties to implode

Let's hope other Labour MPs now have the courage to stand up to Starmer, Reeves and Kendall and refuse to support the cruel, unfair cuts to disability benefits.

The welfare cuts bill will be announced today after 12:30
It looks like they will mostly be focusing on how much money it will save. But it disregards the real human cost and how many will be forced into even deeper poverty #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare #DisabilityRebellion
