Neurodivergent people don't need a third off rail fares. What they need is a government that doesn't try and offer a token gesture that actually fuels the fire of the misconception that all people who get a neurodivergent "label" do it to receive financial benefits.
Shocks me that a country like ours has become one that attacks disabled & vulnerable in society openly. They told you immigrants were the problem now it’s the sick & disabled! When will they look at the real problem. The rich telling you it’s everyone else fault! #UK #Disability
This is so much better than attacking the sick and disabled in the country like @Conservatives @Helen_Whately and other horrible people do on a daily basis.
Interesting, they are all coming out now, but when access was granted to benefit claimants' accounts, it was okay! #Benefit #corrupt

🚨 Major new Resolution Foundation report out today 🚨
PIP reform that better matches payments to costs and needs could save money while working better for claimants.

ALT Lindsay Judge, Research Director the Resolution Foundation, said: “PIP is a vital benefit for disabled people that enables them to participate in society and live fuller and more active lives. But the current system is failing on several fronts – claimants don’t trust it, awards don’t fully reflect the nature of disability today, and spending is rising unsustainably. “As well as continuing to provide cash awards to help with ongoing additional costs, a reformed PIP system should focus on supporting disabled people to participate in society. A system more attuned to people’s needs would also mean that around one-in-six current PIP recipients who don’t face significant limitations or additional costs because of their disability would no longer qualify for cash support. “There is no perfect system of disability support, but one that better reflects the fact that people often have multiple and fluctuating conditions must target greater support and engagement where it’s needed, and a

PIP recipients report a huge variety of conditions, and most have multiple conditions.
While three-in-ten (31 per cent) report having depression, just 2 per cent of all PIP recipients report depression as their only condition.
Only one per cent (or less) report having only anxiety or ADHD.

Let's be honest.
A lot of young people have stopped believing they'll ever own their own home.
That's what happens when rents are high, house prices are high, and saving for a deposit feels impossible.
My Labour government is stepping in to help.
With Your First Home, first-time buyers will be able to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%.
Because hard work and saving should count for something.
And because the dream of owning your own home shouldn't belong only to those with help from the bank of Mum and Dad.
First they told you it was the illegal immigrants fault now they are telling you it’s the sick and disabled fault! Don’t fall for it, the country is in the mess due to 14 years of failed conservative governments! #Labour #Conservatives #Disabled #UK

It’s estimated that one in five women in the UK will experience a miscarriage in their lifetime.
But if you lose a pregnancy before 24 weeks, there is currently no legal right to bereavement leave.
I don’t think that’s right.
Losing a pregnancy can be devastating. You and your partner shouldn’t have to worry about going straight back to work.
So we’re changing the law.
From April, women and their partners will be entitled to two weeks off after any pregnancy loss.
And we’re making wider changes, with new rights to time off when you lose someone you love.
When you’re grieving, you deserve the time and space to do that.

Tax payers are sick of paying the huge salaries and inflated expenses of useless, vindictive MPs like Helen Whately, that's for sure...
Millions are living on benefits instead of paying their own way. And taxpayers are tired of footing the bill.
@Conservatives will bring back common sense 👇
