The Commission on Social Security (@CommSocSec) has published detailed proposals for a new Additional Costs Disability Payment, designed to replace PIP. It offers a constructive workable alternative to a system that is currently deeply flawed. Report 👇 commissiononsocialsecurity.org.uk/s/ACDP-proposa…

A fight broke out on the train to Paddington just now… And honestly I am just so impressed with two men Two random men, who didn’t know each other, who worked together to de-escalate and diffuse the situation until the transport police could board Absolute legends.

Israel killed Daniela today in Qanarit, South Lebanon. Not a fighter. Just a young Christian woman.

@thomasgodfreyuk Total lies! You can only get PIP if you need a lot of personal care or you can't walk more than a few metres. If it's so easy to get, how come no journalist has claimed it?

@thomasgodfreyuk A woman was sexually assaulted on her way home. Now she has severe agoraphobia and can’t answer the door. She worked 22 years. Diagnosed by a GP, psychologist, and assessed by the DWP. This is how much she gets. £29.20 a week THAT'S IT!

@thomasgodfreyuk Hi Tom, I’m a welfare benefits advisor. I’ve written hundreds of PIP forms for severely disabled people. You cannot get PIP for anxiety alone. The threshold is too high. Why don’t you reach out to actual professionals who work in this area to get your facts before you print?

@HackedOffHugh United in their loathing of the poor, vulnerable, and disabled.

All still suckling at the teat.

YES America, this is how your allies around the world feel about you. He perfectly sums up how most of us now see Donald Trump, his entire administration, and the GOP. The Americans who voted for this guy are going to see the consequences of that vote for years to come. America has lost enormous standing in the international community, and the damage is still being done. You turned on Canadians who once looked at Americans as our brothers and sisters. You abandoned allies while cozying up to people and governments that would have been considered unthinkable not long ago. Your new best friends seem to be Russia, whose weapons were killing American allies and whose actions were condemned by the very people now making excuses for them and Israel who you seem to be a colony of. Somehow North Korea gets treated with more respect than long-time democratic partners and allies. You allowed Elon Musk, an immigrant himself who according to his own brother started working while being illegals with deed money from their apartheid father and what has Elon who takes credit for other people's inventions and hard work do? He decides to start race wars in other democratic countries to help drive hostility toward immigrants and child protection social media bans. You put a man back in the White House who is literally in the Epstein files as much as Epstein himself, who is a con artist, a liar, a grifter, and a convicted felon that also appears to be not only dumb but sundowning in front of your very own eyes. Your military is being led by a former Fox News personality drunk, your administration is constantly surrounded by scandal, and it seems like every week another controversy emerges involving people at the highest levels of government. The world watched as a European leader whose country is under attack was publicly humiliated over not wearing a suit, rather then helping you were weirdly turned against the good guys and cheering for Russia. Then we watched UFC fights become White House entertainment. You cannot make this stuff up. You attack minorities while cheering on billionaires who are picking your pockets clean. But hey, as long as you're "owning the libs," who cares about corruption, lobbying, influence peddling, conflicts of interest, human rights or creeping authoritarianism? The saddest part is that many of you still convince yourselves that you're the good guys and that America is the greatest country on Earth. You're not the good guys. And right now, you're not even remotely an example for anyone. What America has become is a lesson for the rest of the world: democracies should never be so vulnerable to extreme wealth, foreign influence, disinformation, corruption and personality cults. Maybe criminal background checks should be mandatory for the highest office in the land. Maybe basic competency standards should matter. The Trump name and the MAGA movement will be talked about for generations. Not as a success story, but as a warning. It may take generations to repair the damage done to America's institutions, alliances, reputation, and credibility. And your media is doing you a massive disservice. Too many journalists have stopped asking hard questions, stopped holding power accountable, stopped fact-checking, and stopped telling people uncomfortable truths. The rest of the world is watching. And what we're seeing isn't American greatness. It's American decline and by our vantage point it appears to have fallen, you have a corrupt Supreme Court and every branch and level of your government has been infiltrated.

@anonymous_julie @tiffy201 Thank you for her link. She's a very powerful orator and bang on point 👏

@reece_dinsdale Stirring stuff. I got goosebumps listening to those powerful lyrics and the video hits hard. Does anyone have a link to it on YouTube coz I won't use TicToc?

Before you start shouting and rioting, it’s probably best that you understand what you’re shouting and rioting about. Know your enemy. 👇

@MarinaPurkiss Ditto! 🙏🤞✊👍

Erm…yes please!!!

@BotFinderUK @DaddyCoffee73 Shadow of his former self, that's all he is now. Another Reform Reject! 😂😂

Ladies and gentlemen, the shadow MP for Makerfield

So we arrested Maduro over a warrant, but Netanyahu is wanted in 124 countries and we’ve had him in the White House 6 times? Make this make sense.

@annaturley Just to remind some folk, Labour's own figures show that their welfare cuts will push 50,000 to 100,000 children into poverty, and Wes Streeting was privatising the NHS over the last two years.

Labour ministers have refused to release a “briefing pack” which would reveal the thoughts of civil servants on repeated calls for an inquiry into hundreds, and probably thousands, of benefit-related deaths. #BenefitDeaths #DWP disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-hides-secr…
