On that note, Im off work til the 25th. Dont even think about talking to me about the DWP til then

Well that explains the “1000 pip claims A DAY” headlines The Timms PIP review consultation is up. I won’t be delving into it cos it’s my fucking birthday but quick scan shows it’s as awful as expected You have until 28th May (which btw is only 10 weeks) gov.uk/government/cal…

@40SOAP I will dont worry, not working til the 25th again

Yes, 1,000 disabled people claim DWP PIP a day – but it should be much higher By me for @TheCanaryUK thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

@Jura_sik yep

@RachelCDailey_ Is that the daily fail?

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this is coming out as the DWP is currently working out how to restrict PIP and also move disability unemployment benefits to PIP

DWP’s Pat McFadden couldn’t resist shitting on disabled claimants whilst announcing the Youth Employment Grant, naturally thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

Dua Lipa has called out the media for the way it's reporting on the Epstein Files and completely disregarding the feelings of the victims Via @RachelCDailey_ thecanary.co/global/2026/03…

Screaming crying throwing up

Labour must declare war on poverty and inequality. One step is implementing the socio-economic duty so public bodies consider poverty in everything they do.

Only purpose Louis Theroux's manosphere doc serves is so other men can pat themselves on the back for not being like THAT, then go back to not calling their bros on their shit

coworked with some pals today and one gave me a "great job" sticker for finishing my article

Young people desperately need jobs - but the DWP's latest announcement on job creation has very few practical details By @RachelCDailey_ thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

@missgems I fucking loved that, but also just her fucking playing TIWYCF at his fucking teams stadium

@BlokeOnWheels Are you talking about We Might Regret This? Because thats not the whole series but in s2 she finds out shell lose half her care package for cohabiting

Feeling rather emotional, this morning, I’ve just found out that the BBC commissioned a comedy drama series based on the issues around #RightToLove . Apparently one of the writers has been with her partner for eight years, but they can’t cohabit because of the situation with means tested benefits and joint income rules. Just delighted that this is finally getting somewhat mainstream coverage after I’ve been banging this particular drum for years. It’s already been on the telly, so I will have to catch up on the iPlayer once I’m back in the UK. #DisabilityRights.

The DWP are always banging on about forcing disabled people into work - so why have they made such a pig's ear of Access to Work? By @RachelCDailey_ thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

I was anorexic from when I was 14. During my #IWD speech, I read passages about that experience, which I wrote 20 years ago, whilst recovering from my last major surgery. Sex, relationships & disability remain a taboo, with many disabled women facing the same anguish today.
