This is the DWP the public need to understand. A Kafkaesque system of impossible to understand, contradictory rules which folk often innocently trip up on to which they receive a brutal, excessive response that plunges people into despair and poverty. The DWP needs to fix itself.

2,000+ autistic and learning disabled people are locked away under the Mental Health Act. Detentions are rising. The new Mental Health Bill won’t fix this. Disabled people are demanding real change but the government refuses to meet. Pls support tomorrow: tinyurl.com/jtutdy9a

Dear Cancer Muggles, The existence of causality is not the great comfort you want it to be. “Everything happens for a reason”? Get outta here with that bullshit. Benignly, ThanksCancer

Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing.. • picking up the phone • leaving the house • eating healthy • exercising • laughing • doing my hair or makeup • getting dressed Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory. Retweet if you understand

This was posted on FB, the letter asking how you spend your PIP money, it says nobody on your case will see your answers but you have to put in a username and password so they will know exactly who has answered and offering a £10 gift voucher for doing it, sneaky barstewards

Unpaid Carers save the government £445 MILLION per DAY. Who is going to provide that care for our disabled loved ones and where is the money coming from to pay for it, when the government strip us of Carer's Allowance? @leicesterliz what's your plan?

Right, back to pasting more signatures that have come in overnight into our open letter💜🙌. We have over 500 now!!! I am now hoping we can double this in the next week as that’s going to be even more useful for refusing ‘its in their interests’ arguments sites.google.com/view/openle…
