Trussell Trust has said that @UKLabour welfare cuts wont just push people into poverty, but into the severest form of hardship. When the Tories wanted to cut £20 from welfare @Keir_Starmer attacked them. Now in power he wants to cut £5k to £12k a year from the most vulnerable.

New @mmhpi research warns that government’s planned PIP reforms will have a “catastrophic impact” on people’s finances and mental health, and could drive people out of the workplace.
It says "A system which was already doing a poor job of understanding how mental health problems affect... The planned changes will double down on that failure"

Hi, I'm currently looking into the impact of the PIP cuts on carers for the Big Issue:
I'm interested in speaking to anyone receives PIP *and* Carer's Allowance, and who is potentially at risk from the new "four point rule"

As billions are being spent on new nuclear weapons, while support for disabled people and pensioners is being slashed and so many children are growing up in poverty, let's remember the powerful words of Tony Benn:

I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.

I've launched this petition calling for wealth taxes, not disability support cuts.
I'll present this in Parliament ahead of any vote on these cruel cuts - as part of the campaign we need to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts.

Cutting PIP & disability benefits isn’t just cruel, it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what they’re for.
They aren’t means-tested or linked to employment; they exist to cover the extra daily costs of disability.
Cutting them would be an outright attack on disabled people.

Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing..
• picking up the phone
• leaving the house
• eating healthy
• exercising
• laughing
• doing my hair or makeup
• getting dressed
Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory.
Retweet if you understand

Sometimes we just need a minute to breathe & yet often it feels like if we stop all those balls in the air will come crashing down. Take the minute, take the breath, life is too short not to prioritise our own well-being & mental health! None of us can fill from an empty cup!♥️

Please do not ever minimise a child’s voice in any situation. Parents ARE the experts in their own children and young people - respect that & work with them to keep the best interests of the child / young person at the centre always. #SEND #Autism #ParentCarer
