It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs.
The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.
Today that deal has been broken by the USA.
The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Oops. @nadhimzahawi has deleted this tweet since joining Reform UK (after being turned down for a Tory peerage!) - he probably wouldn't like it if we kept re-sharing it...

We also know the DSM has been written by predators for generations with the express objective of enabling the abuse of vulnerable people & keeping women & minorities *controlled*.
That it ever helps anyone is an occasional coincidence!🤨

Support from across UK for disabled CEO who turned down #MBE over government ‘demonisation’ of disabled people

One of the things relatives of folk who have died largely as a result of DWP policy often describe is how preoccupied the person was with the DWP. In every case I’ve encountered, this wasn’t delusional. The process is so inhumane it drains the life out of almost everything else.

Disabled people aren't the reason that nondisabled people can't afford a car, I recommend redirecting your complaint to owners of multinational corporations and hedge funds. The current economic model doesn't work for ordinary people, only those at the very top.

Posts from GP trainees soon to qualify with no job to go to are breaking my heart.
They aren’t being fussy, there is just almost nothing available.
They didn’t study and train for 10 years to be in this position.
And it’s at the same time as patients are struggling to get appointments.

🧵 Hi, I'm a PhD student focusing on harm in UK mental health services, & I would like to hear about your experiences of harm in services between 2010-2025. (Mental health services includes NHS, charities, companies, private therapists & other orgs) 1/ tinyurl.com/yt2ydvxx
ALT A University of Lancashire poster, inviting people to participate in research. Have you experienced harm from mental health services? You are invited to take part in this study which is looking to identify & examine overlooked & lesser known forms of harm in UK mental health services. Taking part will involve completing an anonymous online survey, involving questions about your experiences of harm. This will take approximately 15-45 minutes to complete. I am looking for individuals who are aged 18+, AND have experienced harm from mental health services within the UK from 2010 onward, OR are the carer/family member of someone who has experienced harm from mental health services within the UK from 2010 onward. For more information, or to take part, please scan the QR code or go to this web address: https://tinyurl.com/yt2ydvxx Further information including FAQs, Easy Read & downloadable versions of the questionnaire are available on the study website: www.hiddenharms.wordpress.com

The idea that disabled claimants feel ‘entitled’ couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, people claim benefits not because they believe the state owes them — but because they’ve been left with no other way to survive, let alone live.

They want to convince you of the absurd, ludicrous idea that you can't tax wealth, when wealth is the very thing you can tax.
They'll say anything to maintain inequality, their greed and selfishness.

Isn’t it amazing how the feelings towards disabled people as part of the legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games have evaporated under this #Labour Government (I don’t even recognise) 😩

As a disabled person, I do not owe ableists:
• my private medical details
• gratitude
• politeness
• my time
• my attention
• an explanation of why I’m unemployed
• justification of my disabilities
We owe you nothing.

Billions each year are lost to tax avoidance.
Billions go to shareholders, CEOs, whilst employees need in-work benefits #corporatewelfare
Billions are lost to privatisation.
Multimillions go to buy-to-let landlords with no rent controls #corporatewelfare

As a carer I can honestly say that all the hatred and venom aimed at the disabled is shocking, I am feeling very overwhelmed by it now. What a spiteful, hateful country we have become
⚫️ burninglassie 💜 EU 🇪🇺 #StopSIM 🇵🇸 retweeted
Exactly. I'll be honest, until I became too unwell to work at 37, I'd absolutely no idea how important welfare was. People can't, or won't, put themselves in our shoes so it's really important for us all to share our lived experience so they can see how easily it happens.
Beyond shocking. The death of a safe and highly qualified medical profession in the UK, dumbing down in the extreme and a serious threat to all our lives.
☢️ Dear medical students,
Take this advice from your Med Reg:
⭕️ Medicine is a dead career in the UK, and you don’t need to go through this pile of books for 5–6 years and then more than 10 years of postgraduate training.
⭕️ Sign up for any course in healthcare:
➖ Podiatry
➖ Paramedic
➖ Dietitian
➖ Occupational Therapist
➖ Physio
➖Physician Assistant
⭕️ Then, as soon as you finish, hunt for a trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) course.
⭕️ You’ll get paid at Band 7 as a student ACP, better than a qualified doctor.

‘Households across Britain are paying a vast “privatisation premium” to access essential services. According to our estimates, the public have funded almost £200bn in dividends to the shareholders of the privatised water, energy and transport companies’

We need GPs in GP surgeries, we have a huge deficit.
We're putting job advisors into GP surgeries across England & Wales as part of our #PlanforChange to help more sick & disabled people into work.
It's time to stop treating health & work in isolation.
That's why we've announced an extra £167 million investment in #ConnecttoWork
