Government - and the public - need to grasp that Carer's Allowance, Universal Credit, PIP and legacy benefits are now woefully inadequate. They are not enough to live on with modern costs, especially for disabled people facing huge additional expenses.

The far right seem to be getting worse. So full of hate, constantly spewing bile on here. What on earth makes these people so downright vile...so completely lacking in human kindness or empathy?

This is Reform and Farage
"You're a drain on the economy, love. Unless you're a millionaire you can fuck off."

Britain has core, structural economic problems, but they are not immigrants, disabled people or the cost of welfare.

So if you tell anyone, you should get a job, yes, you are an idiot. If you don't like being called an idiot, don't say stupid things!
UK unemployment stats say there are 2.5 people for every vacancy. But factor in people already in work applying, phantom jobs, withdrawn vacancies and duplicate adverts, and the real competition is closer to 10 people chasing every genuine job. That's the labour market.

This year has been a barrage of attacks on my wife and family. These reform thugs are out of control. It's not civil war, it is continuous abuse - attack after attack on the defenceless from all sides - mentally, verbally, politically and physically.

And weeks later, what is Farage and Reform saying about disabled people and cutting PIP?

For info, these were self-confessed Reform UK supporters - and proud of it.

My wife also faced another attack, although to our amazement, that does seem to be an unrelated incident.

Two weeks before this, our home was broken into and we had windows broken and excrement sent to us and posted by hand. They also killed a cat, which they thought was ours.

Finally over. I've been busy with a criminal prosecution against someone who was on X making false assertions about disabilities and PIP. It unfolded into very sinister depths, revealing multiple attacks on people with disabilities. Thankfully, they are in prison now.

Benefit scroungers are the largely mythic folk devils the right roll out of the closet when people get bored with scapegoating migrants. Our benefit system is far from generous, most people on them live very frugal lives, but they are an easy target for the hate merchants like Lowe, Jenrick & Farage.

Reform want to cut all your benefits. Sick, old, disabled and out of work. You won’t be getting help from Reform. No free NHS either. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☕️🫖🫵

Once you've deported everyone who isn't a white Brit and forced millions of disabled people into poverty, who do you target next?

If you support cuts in disability payments - remember in the future you might be disabled through ill health or an accident. You will have no money coming in and most probably lose your home.

Remember, the likes of Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe didn’t make Britain racist - they just made the racists feel comfortable enough to show their faces in public.

Someone on £90,000 a year thinks they would be better off on benefits … This misinformation is wild .

do people realise that you can become disabled at any point? happened to me 10 years ago on a random day. Do you realise how heartbreaking it is to see a major political party with millions of voters literally not care if you live or die simply because you can’t work? fuck reform
