Ferndale LTN consultation report now available as it’s becoming permanent a thread 🧵 #FerndaleLTN #ILoveMyLTN moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/documents/s139…

@AcreLaneLabour @Lambethgp Irfan Mohammed, Phillip Normal, Jack Hopkins. Your councillors all disgraced due to islamaphobia, domestic abuse/coercion allegations, sexual assault. Get your own candidate selection in order fools

The @Lambethgp Greens are very quiet right now. If this is who they’re selecting in one of their most winnable seats, it tells you everything about their judgement. Withdraw the candidate.

@LambethLabour @clairekholland @ZackPolanski @Lambethgp Oh but dont forget your ex councillors Phillip Normal, Jack Hopkins and Irfan Mohammed in recent years- put your own house in order before you criticise others.

.@ZackPolanski You and @Lambethgp have selected this candidate to represent the Green Party in Lambeth. These racist views do not represent Lambeth. This is not who we are. Are you going to withdraw Saiqa Ali as a candidate and condemn her views?

I voted Labour from the first time I could vote until 2019. I was already lost to them that's just a fact. But, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon? Then removing our right to jury trial and now blocking our right to protest. I hope Labour get anhiallated. Done for. Killed off. Gone forever.

@MikScarlet Have you ever thought of medical cannabis for pain relief? I know a number of people who its working for various painful conditions- maybe worth seeing if it would work for you - oils and gummies give long lasting relief without a lot of side effects- good luck

Yep, today is cancelled. My twisting in bed has inflamed my trapped nerves so much I'm on planet agony. Cue painkillers & chocolate.

@ThePOTSPostman I have psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis too and my hands are like this every morning! Try get a referral to orthopaedic/rheumatology for further tests - inflammatory arthritis normally causes stiffness lasting about an hour in the mornings

Every single morning when I wake up my hands hurt so bad. Mostly in my knuckles it seems. Last about an hour or so but they feel so stiff and it’s hard to close them. This has been going on for like a month now and I have no idea what it’s from.

Nearly 50% of Tesco’s workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year. Who is robbing the tax payer twice?

@NiallHarbison Bee from Hungary found abandoned on the street, having been used for puppies- sweetest girl

My 2 rescue dogs in their Sunday best today. Hank and Chance. Wouldn’t it be cool if everybody who had a rescue shared them in this thread to show the world that rescue dogs are the best option. Shelters and rescues all around the world full of great dogs. Go for it👇

@DiaryofaSickGrl Id recommend a robot vacuum, you can schedule it to clean multiple times daily, theres even one that mops as well. Great if you have pets - mine is in my kitchen And gets put into my living room/bedroom when i go for Dog walks as there’s a step. I use the bigger vacuum much less

a.co/d/7Ct340B We bought this one a year ago based on recommendations here and it’s not that strong and has to be emptied often even though I don’t really find it that lightweight. It’s not cordless. We have 3 dogs and I have EDS so it’s kind of a catch 22 to need a strong but light vacuum 😬

Recommendations for a light weight vacuum that’s also good at vacuuming up dog hair?

@CassandraCentre Its why i ditched just eat and deliveroo - their customer service sucks unless you embarrass them on social media.

Just Eat has given us a full refund and a £30 voucher which our client will receive. It’s such a shame customers have to resort to social media in order to get resolution. Companies should ditch chat bots and go back to human beings answering complaints!

@g__j As you post photos of them blocking pavements and bike racks! Selfish parking

How our team got in despite the tube strikes And no - they're not blocking the pavements!

@AcreLaneLabour @DavidBridson @SarbazBarznji @LambethLabour Delivering what exactly? Leaflets?

Massive session on the doors today 💪 From Ballater Rd to Raeburn St, Branksome Rd, Winterwell Rd & Haycroft Rd - spoke with nearly 100 residents about how we’re delivering for Brixton. Refuelled at Sam’s Café ☕️ and rounded it off with a well-earned pint at the Hope & Anchor 🍻

In just over 5 hours, more than 80,000 people have signed up to help build a new kind of political party. We believe in democracy — and the establishment are running scared. We’re offering people something very precious: hope. Sign up at yourparty.uk.

@dieworkwear To be fair Derek, Lee is a very low value Racist, so i would be surprised if he paid properly for the quality.

I believe this jacket is from Dobell, a company that produces their tailoring in Turkey. I'll show you some telltale signs of quality and where you can buy a tailored jacket made in Britain. 🧵

@belliver11 @BellRibeiroAddy Ooh the poor vulnerable millionaires- wont anyone think of them! 🤦‍♀️

Bell, you say we shouldn’t “rule out taxes on the wealthy” but where have you been? The top 1% already pay 29% of all income tax. The top 10% pay 60%. That’s not under-taxation that’s a system already leaning heavily on a small number of people. And now, those people are leaving. UK is projected to lose 500,000+ millionaires by 2028. Over 17,000 have already gone. That’s less revenue for the NHS, schools, disability support, and social care all because your party would rather stoke envy than build a fair economy Your rhetoric pits one vulnerable group against another. It’s not justice. It’s class war and working families will be left to foot the bill. #LabourHypocrisy @BellRibeiroAddy @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer

Pitting disabled people against children in poverty suggests the government has failed to learn the lessons from last week's u-turn. Voters will not forgive us if we fail to support those who need it most whilst ruling out taxes on the wealthy. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

🚨PLEASE SHARE WIDELY🚨 Today, MPs will vote on cutting £3,000 a year from 750,000 low-income sick and disabled people deemed too ill to work. That’s a £2 BILLION cut. This has had hardly any media coverage. And the Government snuck out the Impact Assessment only last night.

“Huge swathes” of severely disabled people will be hit by the upcoming Universal Credit cuts, contrary to government claims they will be protected. My exclusive in tomorrow’s Guardian: theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

A recent FOI revealed the most at risk health conditions likely to lose PIP. But what this thread reveals are real-life examples of people who lose it. benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/most-at-r…

Dear Labour MP. If you are going to be voting for or against changes to #disabilitybenefits that could devastate the lives of an estimated million-plus people, I’d like to think three minutes of your time is a fair exchange. It has been reported that 100 Labour MPs have signed a letter about their concerns regarding the disability benefit cuts, in particular the cut in amount for new claimants to LCWRA (aka: health element) of Universal Credit. This worries me, because this part of the cuts is, in many ways, one of the least important, not least because changes to eligibility rules will mean that, from 2028, very few will be able to claim it anyway. The benefit system for the disabled and long-term sick is ridiculously complicated, and I ask you to spend just three minutes of your time reading this post, which explains why the eligibility changes to PIP are far more worrying than the cut in amount paid through LCWRA UC. I’ll start with Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The changes to eligibility for PIP will mean that an estimated 87% of people who currently claim the lower rate of the Daily Living Element will no longer be able to claim it from their first reassessment after November 2026. These figures come from the DWP itself. This is a cut to our income of approximately £300 a month. This means that people who can’t cook a meal from scratch, can’t wash certain parts of their body, can’t use the toilet without assistance, and can’t cut up the food on their plate will most likely be shut out of PIP. And any illness or disability that effects us in that way most likely means there are many other issues of a similar nature which affect our daily routine – they just aren’t on the form. However, what comes next is the real killer (literally). Many people who claim PIP also claim the health element of Universal Credit. But under the new proposals, the Work Capability Assessment to decide whether or not we qualify for that element of UC is being scrapped in 2028. Instead, people will need to have the Daily Living Element of PIP in order to claim it – but, because of the changes to eligibility most people will no longer be able to claim that element of PIP, and therefore won’t be able to claim the health element of UC. In other words, the government is making PIP much harder to get, and then using it to decide if people can claim the LCWRA element of Universal Credit. It’s like playing a game with loaded dice. Disabled people don’t stand a chance. And perhaps the most bizarre thing is that the mobility element of PIP won’t act as a passport to UC in the same way. So, even if we can only walk one metre, we still won’t be classed as disabled enough to claim the LCRWA/health element of UC. So, after losing PIP of £300 a month, we will also lose £400+ a month through our inability to claim the health element of UC. That’s £700+ a month we have lost. The change to the amount of health element of UC that some of you are concerned about is going to be unimportant for most people because they won’t be able to claim it anyway. And we’re talking of 1.3 MILLION people. What’s more, various members of the government keep repeating the lie that these changes will get disabled people into work. THIS IS NOT TRUE. PIP is NOT an out-of-work benefit. It is money to compensate us for the extra expenditure that our disabilities cost us. If we lose PIP, we lose our independence. If we lose our independence we CAN’T work at all. Many use their PIP to ALLOW them to work. And the knock-on effects could be severe. If people lose money, they can’t afford to eat well, thus making their conditions worse. Poverty is going to cause even more mental health issues than there already are. All of this puts extra strain on the NHS and councils. It is a false economy to cut disability benefits in this way. The change to PIP is not only shutting people out of that benefit, but also out of the health element of UC. It’s a double blow. One blow we might be able to deal with, but the second will, quite literally, be a killer. That’s approximately £8400 a year many of us are losing, or, to put it another way, it’s 28 times the amount that pensioners are losing because of the changes to Winter Fuel Allowance. We fully understand how ridiculously complicated the disability benefits system is (and I haven’t even mentioned carer’s allowance that some people will also lose), but it’s ESSENTIAL that you know the basics of it as outlined above before you vote. Over the course of two days, every Labour MP on X will be tagged/mentioned in a post containing the above explainer. It has been a long process putting that list of close to 400 X handles together, but if just one of you has read the above and now understands the system better, and why the disabled community is so frightened, then it has, of course, been worth it. If nothing else, please don’t get taken in by the lies that this will get people back into work. That will not happen. Even if people DO get to do some part-time work, it won’t make up for all the money they are losing. The only effect the cuts will have is the destruction of peoples lives due to a condition or illness that they have no control over.
