A local authority’s actions helped drive a disabled woman to attempt to take her own life, after it imposed an “impossible” two-week deadline upon her as part of a discriminatory social care assessment process.

I’m really concerned about the impact of the rise in employers’ NICs on GP surgeries – I’ve heard from several who say it will be devastating for patient care. Along with other @theGreenParty MPs I’ve written to the Chancellor urging her to rethink the rise.

One of the women in this photo has been on TV expressing her deep disappointment in Starmer.
She will be speaking for many.

PS This isn't a new thought we (MSE) presented a report in 2017 called "Sharper teeth: the need for ombudsman reform" it's here images6.moneysavingexpert.co…
It was well received and discussed in parliament but ultimately no action
The Waspi judgement today throws up real issues about Ombudsmen. What is the point of an Ombudsman when its judgements aren't enforceable. Too few ombudsmen have full statutory powers to enforce decisions (Financial Ombudsman does) . Either fix that or at least ban any that don't from being called ombudsman just call them "dispute resolution".

Promising one thing in Opposition and doing the opposite in government is a betrayal.

Hospitals under extreme pressure, people getting sick with all manner of airborne infections and @scotgovhealth does absolutely nothing. It really doesn't have to be this way. I truly despair of the way the NHS & public health is being destroyed when tools exist to prevent it.

These tweets increasingly feel so disconnected from reality.
It has rings weirdly of the last gasps of the Tory government...
.@Keir_Starmer: Record funding for the NHS, money for trains, buses and potholes, pay rises for 3m people, GB Energy set up. We are only getting started. #PMQs

Love that Keir Starmer sees older women as an unaffordable burden on the state. Women who've slogged all their lives, raised families, and whose pension pots are already on average much less than men's, now they've served their purpose and helped elect him, they can fvck off.
BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer has defended a decision not to compensate women affected by changes to their retirement age - saying doing so would "burden" the taxpayer.

Labour MP Jas Athwal in the commons asks what the government is doing to tackle health inequalities and disparities in the workplace.
Minister could have suggested Athwal starts with the flats he rents with black mould and ant infestations

Having spoken to a number of WASPI women in the last 24 hours, they will neither forget nor forgive those Labour politicians who were happy to pose for photos and pledged support when in opposition, only to betray the promises they made as soon as they entered government.

Can we just take a moment to reflect on this horrifying statistic…
Out of all the people currently in hospital with COVID in Wales, at least 72% of them were admitted for another reason and were infected with Covid SINCE THEY WERE ADMITTED.
Why is nothing done to prevent this?

Labour’s Branch Office Manager in Scotland helpfully confirming, once again, that he holds no sway over Labour in London.
NEW: Scottish Labour leader criticises UK Government's rejection of compensation for WASPI women.
@AnasSarwar says 'I don't think it's the right decision on compensation', and some form of payment could have been offered

2020: He’s not lying, the very idea is insane
2022: He was lying to scum who don’t matter and deserved it, and that was good
2024: He’s lying to everyone to win the election, and that’s smart and savvy
Also 2024: He has an honesty problem
Backbench Labour MPs need to topple him pronto, and replace him with an economic populist; if they want to keep their seats in 2029. Seemingly everyone can see it except for Labour MPs and Starmer’s cheerleaders.
