The hardest work l've ever done wasn't paid. It was staying alive when I was at my lowest. It was caring for someone I loved. It was surviving when survival felt impossible. Work takes many forms. #DWP #Benefits #InvisibleWork #Work

TW DWP Blight? A new low today. Starmer’s attack on benefit claimants is vile and deeply ableist. Framing vulnerable folk as fraudsters stokes stigma and endangers lives. It increases hate and worthlessness. Stop weaponising poverty and disability for political theatre. #benefits #dwp #welfare
Keir Starmer uses the Mail on Sunday front page to declare ‘war’ on Britain’s most vulnerable. This is a grotesque display of ableism and class warfare. Demonising benefit claimants won’t solve inequality—it weaponises poverty and punishes disabled people. #ShameOnStarmer

Disability benefits need at least doubling, not cutting, if Labour wants more people back in work any time soon - because NHS is not there for us and we're having to self fund and treat ourselves. www.bigissue.com/news/soc…. #DWP #Benefits #UKLabour
Disability benefits cuts will be 'devastating' and 'increase poverty', Labour told

Disability benefits cuts will be 'devastating' and 'increase poverty', Labour told

Labour has pledged to slash to cut the disability benefits bill, even after a High Court ruling found a consultation to be unlawful.

The decision of the Department for Work and Pensions to publish figures showing the total cost to the economy of disabled people who cannot work has been described as a “chilling” echo of the “useless eaters” propaganda of 1930s Germany. #DWP

TW Suicide | #DWP Does the persecution of benefits claimants know no bounds? I often hear from assessors who are repeatedly pressured to IGNORE suicidal ideation in claimants due to the drive to reduce the % in the support group. This is the DANGEROUS reality coroners have attested to.
The image is a screenshot of a headline and article excerpt from The Telegraph. The headline reads:

“Claim suicidal thoughts for benefits: job centre staff show extent of UK’s worklessness crisis.”

Below the headline, the subheading states:

“Whistleblowers call out the system that rewards assessors who wave through cases without proper consideration.”

The byline credits Ethan Croft, Sunday Political Correspondent, with the article published on 30 November 2024 at 3:54 PM GMT. The text begins:

“Benefits assessors have blown the whistle on major holes in the welfare system helping to fuel Britain’s worklessness crisis.”

It frustrates me that so many political types fixate on UBI, but largely ignore the urgent immiserating horror of the #DWP #sanctions regime. We should focus on giving cash to those who *need it*, without the absurd hoops they’re made to jump thru (35 hrs a week doing job applications, FFS!).
