Nobody hacked Dan Hodges' account when he said Palestinian children should go to hell. He is just a disgusting racist who thinks little kids should go to hell if they're Palestinian. Toddlers. Babies. Wailing newborns. There are no words to describe this evil.
Has the New Statesman been hacked.

Unlike rich public schoolboy Jeremy Hunt your average young NEET doesn't have the luxury of starting a hare-brained business exporting Oxford Marmalade to Japan which goes bust because Japanese don't eat preserves for breakfast. #bbclaurak

Almost everyone in those groups you list as needing a flu vaccine is NOT eligible for an NHS Covid vaccine @YvetteCooperMP. Covid is just as serious to those groups as flu, so why on earth are we not vaccinated against it?
.@YvetteCooperMP explains why it's important to get the free NHS flu vaccination if you're eligible. The vaccine is offered to people at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from flu. Check your eligibility and book online or through the NHS App: nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vacc…

Jenrick on TV this morning saying the country can’t afford to carry disabled people because it’s broke and welfare will bankrupt us. This was exactly the Nazi narrative of the 1930s

This self-first MP took £12,161 from the tax payer purse for accommodation alone. That's as much as somebody on UC Health gets in one year. He claimed £18,645 in business costs and expenses. In 2024-2025 he claimed a total of £165,302. Now who is the scrounger?
Burnham's first Budget next week and no plans to cut the benefits bill. That's because Labour is the Welfare Party. He should adopt Conservative plans to Get Britain Working by: Rolling out Back To Work prepaid cards Reforming sick notes Introducing face-to-face reassessments Implementing the Get to Work Programme Halving under-25s NIC contributions

Bloody Hell! The nasty comments I've had over this post! Apparently I'm a "Lazy bitch!", "A bad host" etc, etc, etc. Just to clarify: no, I can't make a sandwich myself BECAUSE I'M FUCKING PARALYSED WITH A TYPE OF MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE! #Disability
My sister is coming to lunch tomorrow so I put sandwiches for us on my @Morrisons order for today. One missing "No substitute available." So I did an @AmazonUK @coopuk order. Half the items are "unavailable" including the sandwich! Both shops said the items were in stock. Grrr!

🚨 This is getting seriously dangerous. The @BBC is withdrawing educational material on climate change and migration following accusations of political bias. CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION. It's established science. MIGRATION IS A FACT OF HUMAN HISTORY. Its economic, social and cultural contributions are documented, as are the challenges it can create. Immigration policy is open to debate, but children deserve to understand the evidence, not have political uncomfortable facts filtered out. Political impartiality must never mean treating established evidence as ideology. Education should teach children to examine reality critically, not sanitise it to avoid political controversy. #ClimateChange #Immigration
Good. It was utter madness that the BBC ever thought it was acceptable to publish “educational tools” pushing left-wing political agendas onto schoolchildren in the first place. I wrote to the BBC calling for them to be removed, & I’m glad they’ve listened.

There is a legal case to prosecute members of Boris Johnson’s government for misconduct in public office. There is evidence that they negligently contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands in care homes. I want to know why there is no prosecution ongoing. Why?

Disability News Service has investigated animations circulating on social media that portray PIP claimants as fraudsters. Some have attracted hundreds of thousands of views. Meanwhile, disabled creators are left challenging the same misinformation again and again. PIP is not an unemployment benefit. People can work and receive it. Criticising welfare policy is legitimate. Spreading misleading stereotypes about disabled people is something else entirely. Social media platforms need to take their responsibilities seriously.

Just seen this letter written by the surgeon I saw yesterday. I have no idea how my medical history can be reported so incorrectly. They never read original notes & make up the history as they go. Talk about dangerously incorrect & demonstrating a lack of medical knowledge.

When Disabled people are repeatedly framed as a cost, it affects how society sees us. @Channel4's The Experiment confronts ableism, segregation and the consequences of devaluing Disabled lives. Read a blog on the programme here: disabilityrightsuk.org/news/…

Following the Covid Inquiry's damning verdict on @MattHancock, we've launched a petition to remove him from the Privy Council. His actions led to thousands of avoidable deaths. This is a first symbolic step towards accountability. Sign and share: c.org/RJtgMtQF2f

Hi @andyburnham instead of warring in the middle East, how about you get the RAF to drop flour in Gaza instead? Famine is setting in and you need to pay reparations for aiding genocide.
Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread. We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before. Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.

This is a despicable failure of a government scheme which was such positive policy for working disabled people not so long ago. The longest I ever waited for my application to be approved was three weeks! Problems need to be addressed urgently. I hope it's not too late.
Submitted my Access to Work application yesterday morning. Got a confirmation text, telling me that they will be in touch about my application "within the next 37 weeks" I actually laughed in disbelief, 37 weeks.

The Jeremy Vine formula is so predictable at this point. 1. Find an extreme quote to make people furious about welfare. 2. Immediately follow it up by asking if we should slash benefits. It's not a debate, it's just conditioning the public to agree to cuts. 🔄 @theJeremyVine
