This, from a DWP press release yesterday (gov.uk/government/news/almos…), is outrageous In two short paragraphs it peddles multiple falsehoods about the current system that will be used to justify upcoming cuts & changes Here's what MPs & journalists should be challenging... 🧵
Text from a DWP press release: In the current dysfunctional system, a person is placed in binary categories of either “fit for work” or “not fit for work” through the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) – an assessment the government has said it will either reform or replace, so it no longer drives people who want to work to a life on benefits. Through this process, those not fit for work are told they have Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (LCWRA) – meaning they won’t receive employment support or further engagement from the system at any point following their assessment – effectively abandoning and locking them out of work indefinitely.

Are sickness benefits out of control? A £13 Billion increase between 2019 & 2024. A lot? I asked the Bank Of England how much £52 billion is worth in 2024 they tell me it's worth (to the nearest billion) £65 billion. So what we are seeing here is the impact of inflation

Mike Davis was born on this day in 1946. “At the end of the day, the best measure of the humanity of any society is the life and happiness of its children. We live in a rich society with poor children, and that should be intolerable.”

No politicians They build walls, we plant seeds. Change doesn’t start at the top. It grows from us.

Have they lost the plot? In Feb I received 4 letters from 4 companies telling me my bills were going up. No young person paying crazy rents or on zero hours or with a sick family member woke up this morning grateful Keir Starmer is increasing defence spending.

Stephen Kapos, an 87 year old Holocaust survivor, resident of Camden, has been called in for an interview by @metpoliceuk about pro-palestine protests. The lengths the British establishment will go to to defend their role in genocide! Solidarity Stephen: u r the best of us & Camden is proud of u ✊

The police dragging in Stephen Kapos, an 87 year old Holocaust survivor, is a new low even for the institutionally racist Met. And the rounding up of many of the leaders of the anti war movement is pure intimidation. It won’t work.

As we get closer to the anniversary of Sarah Everards murder, and the Clapham Common vigil, I'm reviving this fantastic piece by @Aviah_Sarah_Day arguing applying the notion of "white privilege" to dead women is ridiculous. novaramedia.com/2021/09/23/w…

We Must Stop Comparing Sabina Nessa’s Murder With Sarah Everard’s | Aviah Day

'Why no protests for Sabina?' many have asked in the wake of her killing. The answer is more complex than white privilege, writes Aviah Day.

Definitely assault, also possibly affray and there is also a case to made for using joint enterprise against the other members of this gang.

Violence first, questions later. This Swansea Police officer's going to struggle to justify his use of force, as the woman was walking away when he attacked. And calling a police officer a piece of shit isn't a public order offence, so the arrest probably isn't even lawful.
