Brilliant news that @EllenClifford1 has won her Work Capability Assessment court case against @DWPgovuk .
The court ruled the DWP consultation, that would lead to billions being cut from disability benefits, was unlawful.

X has increasingly become a platform that pushes disinformation and hate about marginalised groups, including migrants and refugees.
It is for this reason that we’ve decided to leave. Please follow us on Bluesky instead: bsky.app/profile/praxisproje…

morally this is disgraceful. politically its so stupid. labour have tried time and time again to outmanoeuvre the right(er) wing on immigration and have always failed! reform and the tories will just tack harder right and more extreme! this will come to undo them!

It's awful to see these threats from the Labour government. Sanctions should not be used as a tool to threaten people when we have seen too many deaths as a result of benefits being cut.

I’m sorry, but fuck JK Rowling.
Every year the names of women who have died at the hands of men are read out in parliament.
Rowling’s vile & unnecessary post only perpetuates animosity towards the trans community, contributing to the very violence that threatens their lives.

I think @AOC’s argument about transgender bathroom bans is…pretty much perfect

NEW: The DWP has admitted it launched a consultation on disability benefit cuts – that it framed as helping disabled people into work – despite having made no estimate of how many disabled people would actually find work as a result
By me, for @BigIssue: bigissue.com/news/social-jus…

The ONLY way to stop people taking dangerous journeys is to let them take safe ones.
Most people fleeing for their lives have no safe way to claim asylum in the UK - that's why people are arriving by small boats.

The govt says Fraud & Error in the welfare system costs nearly £10bn a year, so they'll employ 3,180 new staff to tackle it.
Inconvenient stats:
There were 873,221 overpayments in 2023/24.
686,756 caused by offical error. That's 79%

PIP fraud is at 0.2%. It’s slightly higher for Universal Credit but still v. low.
Labour is posturing they’ll ‘flush out’ big gangs.
What they’ll actually do is terrify claimants into not spending money on basic things—food, a coffee out—with deadly and demeaning consequences.

In the past, DWP software has wrongly flagged more than 200,000 people for suspected fraud.
Giving them more powers to monitor our bank accounts will further erode our civil liberties. We co-wrote to @leicesterliz to stop these policy proposals.
