Let's talk about duty. Disabled people do not have a duty to work unsuitable jobs. Let's get that clear. The government *does* have a duty to not dehumanise the million disabled people who want to work but are denied the chance. It’s a duty the government is failing on 🧵 1/7
Headline from the Guardian: Disabled people must work from home to do 'their duty', says UK minister. People with mobility and mental health problems should work from home or lose benefits under new policy.

Important. Pls spread word 100,000s of people, mostly women age 66+ who took were off work for childcare between 1978 & 2010, are due to get HMRC letter that may be worth £10,000s due to underpaid state pensions. It isn't a scam DON'T bin the letter. See moneysavingexpert.com/news/2…
Getting the state pension? Don't bin an HMRC letter that may be worth £10,000s – it's NOT a scam

Getting the state pension? Don't bin an HMRC letter that may be worth £10,000s – it's NOT a scam

If you're getting the state pension and receive a letter from HM Revenue and Customs in the post, DON'T bin it. It's not a scam, and it could help you boost your pension by £10,000s.

Oh I’m trending. I’d therefore like to take this opportunity to tell politicians to stop privatising the NHS. You have no mandate to do so.

Replying to @daniel_brooker @UnofficialOA
When your children have no teachers to teach them and your schools are falling apart, perhaps then you’ll understand. There isn’t a striking teacher I know who wants to strike. We’re doing it because our children,parents and schools deserve better and this government won’t listen

If a UK Prime Minister boasting to parliament about his Government’s assault on British liberties - restricting our right to protest, robbing millions of workers of their democratic right to strike & stripping back human rights doesn’t terrify you it damn well should

This generation of children are being let down. This Government needs to invest in our children’s education. And Gillian Keegan needs to be the voice for that. #DoYourJobGill #SaveOurSchools

This is make or break for parliamentary democracy. Sunak’s Government is using secondary legislation to overturn a parliamentary vote. It’s unprecedented & being done to restrict the publics right to protest. @UKLabour can STOP IT by backing @GreenJennyJones motion. Will they?

“What is the point of Parliament if a Minister can just ignore the outcome of debates and votes by imposing draconian laws on the public?” @GreenJennyJones This is a make-or-break moment for parliamentary democracy - where is the outrage from UK media?
