Across the political Right, the narrative is that disability benefits (primarily Personal Independence Payments; PIPs) are too easy to get & are often paid to the 'undeserving'... however, in reality nearly half of applicants are rejected, rising to over two thirds for endometriosis (a gendered dimension I'll leave you to ponder), but with high rates of rejections over-turned on appeal (often with the same evidence).
@ChrisMayLA6 when my father had Parkinson's, he regularly had to fill in a 13-page questionnaire which would then be "lost," requiring him to obtain and fill in another one. The cruelty is the point.
The best punishment for #ToryScum would be for them to live under their own cruel and spiteful regime, but we all know that will never happen.
As expected after an embarrassing time at the polls, the Tories were back to take it out on disabled people this week. The human wet wipe, the DWP’s Mel Stride, has been gurning in the press again about how his “plan is working”. #ToryDemocide #ToryScum
Starmer welcomes #FarRight Tory defector Natalie Elphicke to Labour
“And the reason that she’s given for joining the Labour Party is very, very important because I think she speaks for very many Tory voters,” Starmer said.
“In saying that the Tory party has changed, it’s left the centre ground. [WOT?!] But equally the Labour Party has changed and we are pretty clearly the party of the national interest, of country first, party second.”
“After 14 years, the chances are you are going to have a change of government, but you don’t give up on that basis. You fight against it, try to minimise losses and hope something turns up. Who knows what crises might occur during the next three or four months?”
"oh but my local tory councillor is a lovely person doing great work in the community..." doesn't matter. they're still part of a party that has completely and utterly shagged this country for the last 14 years, a party that welcomes racists, islamophobes, tax dodgers, sexual predators with open arms, gave you #brexit, #austerity, systematically dismantled the #nhs... if your local councillor is such a stand-up person, ask yourself why... #LocalElections#toryScum#neverKissedATory
checked in on an old collaborator from a past multimedia life - before i saw what an utterly vile little egomaniac he was at the time and severed all contact. turns out he ran as local tory councillor last year because "they reflect his values". yup, figures. he might be a successful businessman, but he's still an utter cunt #toryScum
New government statistics have confirmed what millions of people already knew. Specifically, this was that cases of long Covid across the UK are rampant and ever on the rise – now up to two million people. #ToryScum
I despise them with every atom and moment of my being. Billionaires and Millionaires blaming the poor for their own poverty, telling the disabled and ill that they're lazy and unproductive while these utter cunts buy new yachts, invest in art works and rent out their third home. I have no other hate like the hate I have for Tories
Jeremy Warner, assistant editor of the torygraph is now whingeing about the state of Post-Brexit UK he helped to create. What a fkng bellend:
"Nothing seems to work, there are long waiting lists for almost every public service, there’s not enough housing to go around, and at a loss for solutions, our public discourse has degenerated into the demeaning bile of culture wars irrelevance."
Created by tax payers money now for sale and bargaining by private capitalists worldwide: the #ToryScum is getting rich from asset stripping the nation‼️‼️
