All the lies told by the #punchdownmedia and certain #MPs, like @Helen_Whately about people getting PIP for minor conditions. This is the reality. It isn't easy to make a claim for PIP and get an award. The assessment companies making the decisions make it so difficult that people with terminal diagnosis go without any support, using their precious, limited, time left to fight the mistakes made by these private companies. It costs the government tens of millions of pounds for these sorts of mistakes. Not to mention the devastation it causes to the claimants and their families. Isn't it time these profit driven companies were kicked out of the DWP decision making process? #ChallengeTheNarrative

#journalists ahead of the #budget a plea to remember 🚨Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is NOT an out of work benefit 🚨 Please challenge guests who assume it is. You can work AND claim PIP. #Budget2026

The BBC have not reported this from Bell's Report. Please RT this until they do inform the public of this. "Anti-Jewish attitudes are typically less prevalent and have remained more stable, whereas anti-Israel sentiments are more prevalent and have been increasing' Thank you.

Joe. Who do you think your disabled constituents will vote for? That's about 1/4 people. With your majority 🤔🤭😁 @JoePJRobertson

If I was Prime Minister , if I was Burnham , watching European cities ablaze . . . I’d instigate a ‘wealth tax’ at about 9.01am tomorrow morning . Just saying . Or should we just ‘eat cake’ ?

Shameful framing from @SkyNews. Why compare 180,000 armed forces personnel with 430,000 young people claiming PIP? PIP isn’t unemployment benefit. Disability isn’t a choice. Disabled young people aren’t responsible for Britain’s defence budget. Stop portraying them as a burden

On 19 July 2024, I published two posts on my X account in which I made allegations about Mr Mothin Ali being involved in the Harehills riots. I have accepted these were incorrect and I have jointly made a statement in open Court in order to apologise to Mr Ali and correct the record which is below. archive.org/details/JSIOC-MA…

The Brexit vote was largely delivered by legions of 'Little Englanders,' many of them elderly. Remain was popular with most Scots, with those in Northern Ireland, most people in our major cities, & most of the young. Even if we eventually rejoin we will never get a deal as good as we once had. Their insularity, xenophobia & ignorance have impoverished this country & robbed us of our EU-wide rights. They should feel deeply ashamed for saddling us all with a chocolate tea set, of course many will not & still cling to the old nonsense.

Nimbus Disability’s Trustpilot currently sits at 1.3/5, with 98% 1-star reviews. One reviewer says: “After waiting 14 days for a reply the tickets had of course gone.” This is why making #Nimbus a compulsory gateway deserves serious challenge #disability trustpilot.com/review/www.ni…

Disablism in the media feeds hostility and hate crime against Disabled people. It's got to stop. This National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we're launching Disability Media Action. #NationalHCAW

It raises the question of what Whately is actually trying to achieve here. Remember, we're comparing the income of someone on the National Living Wage with a hypothetical claimant who has significant disabilities, substantial daily living and mobility needs, is unable to work and requires financial assistance with housing. Someone who may already face considerable physical, emotional and financial challenges simply navigating everyday life. Whatley is basically saying that if you're unfortunate enough to live with a serious disability, and unable to work through circumstances entirely beyond your control, you shouldn't be entitled to a decent, dignified life. On top of this, she's saying that the appropriate response to millions of people earning too little isn't to improve their living standards, but to reduce support for those facing even greater challenges. Why is the benchmark for fairness always how little we can give the most vulnerable, rather than how much better we could make life for everyone?

This analysis applies to BOTH sides of the House. The Times focused on Labour's political risk. The Conservative shadow cabinet should check their own seats. The last three weeks from the Conservative frontbench: Helen Whately (Shadow W&P Secretary): FOURTEEN posts targeting disabled people. "Morally wrong." "Lifestyle choice." "Free cars for ADHD." "Definition of disability expanded too far." Andrew Griffith (Shadow Chancellor): "The term disability is in danger of losing all meaning." "A two-tier economy: hard-working taxpayers vs handouts." Joe Robertson (Shadow W&P Minister): Copy-pasting Whately's framing. "This can't go on." Mims Davies: 280 words listing problems, zero solutions, tagging Whately and Griffith for reinforcement. Kemi Badenoch: Housing benefit cuts "won't make people homeless." Five frontbench voices. Same week. Same target. Same "tough decisions" language. Same zero published policy documents. Now apply the Times' own analysis to THEIR seats. Whately's Faversham and Mid Kent: roughly 8,000-10,000 PIP claimants. Her majority: 12,648. Comfortable. For now. But the 100,000 people who saw the pushback thread included constituents. Griffith's Arundel and South Downs: PIP claimants vs majority worth checking. The Shadow Chancellor who called disability "losing meaning" has disabled constituents who vote. The political peril isn't one-sided. Every MP attacking PIP has PIP claimants in their constituency. Every "morally wrong" post is read by the people it describes. Who vote. For the person saying it. builduk.club

This woman will be one of the reasons that the @Conservatives don't see power again for a long time. @Helen_Whately has a hyper fixation on benefits. Its usually disability benefits, #lying through her teeth and misrepresenting facts. Using one offs & extreme, usually justified, cases to create fabrications Instead of suggesting solutions, she pushes #hate & #blame Now she's going after #kids. She talks a lot about #morals but I don't see the morality in going after the disabled & children using a carefully manufactured narrative to push an agenda #ChallengeTheNarrative #hatespeech #ADHDHelen

It's incredibly self destructive for a country to target disabled people for persecution. It literally rips up the fabric of society and family and community. It's especially dangerous during the season after a mass disabling event.

Helen, stop. Read this. Right now, someone on PIP is reading your timeline. They've seen eleven posts in three weeks calling their support "morally wrong." "Unaffordable." "Unfair." A "lifestyle choice." They didn't choose their condition. They didn't choose to need help. They filled in a 42-page form describing the worst moments of their life. They attended an assessment where a stranger asked them to prove they can't function. They waited months for a decision. They were told yes, you qualify, you ARE that unwell. And now the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary the person who wants to run the department that assessed them posts every single day that their existence on the system is "morally wrong." How does that feel? To the person with depression who already believes they're a burden. To the person with anxiety who already believes they don't deserve help. To the person who already thought about ending it and decided to ask for support instead. Your words have weight, Helen. You're not a random account with 40 followers. You're the Shadow Secretary of State. When YOU say PIP is "morally wrong," the person reading it doesn't hear "the system needs reform." They hear "YOU are the problem. YOU are the cost. YOU are what's wrong." Eleven times. In three weeks. Every day another post telling vulnerable people they're a burden on the country. If one person reading your timeline today decides they're too ashamed to claim what they're entitled to that's on you. If one person decides the stigma is too much and stops asking for help that's on you. If one person in crisis sees "morally wrong" and believes it about themselves that's on you. Words from the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary aren't tweets. They're signals. To 4 million PIP claimants. That the person who wants to control their support thinks their existence in the system is morally wrong. Please stop. Reform the system if you want. Publish a policy if you have one. But stop telling vulnerable people, every single day, that needing help is a moral failing. It isn't policy. It's cruelty with a blue tick. if you have a disability or are living with depression and these posts are making things harder you are not the problem. You are not a burden. You are not "morally wrong." You needed help. You asked for it. That took courage. Samaritans: 116 123. Free. 24 hours. Every day. And if you're reading this and you're angry tell Helen. Reply to her. Let her see the people behind the numbers she posts every day.
