Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

Robert Jenrick's terrible plan for the DWP is already happening under Labour No matter what Reform might say, Jenrick's proposals for the DWP are a lukewarm reheating of Labour's already terrible policies

Why did Starmer's disabled brother die poor? Starmer is unashamedly exploiting his brother's death for self-rehabilitation, but the year he reportedly died “in poverty” Starmer made 152K

Starmer's claiming his disabled brother died in poverty, and that's why he wants to "fix the system that failed him"... by making it even worse for disabled poor people

But Starmer's a millionaire, so why did his brother die poor?

The media circus around Epstein is erasing the experiences of victims and survivors The media circus around Epstein is focused on political gossip and erases the horrific experiences of the women and girls who were abused

BREAKING: ex-prince Andrew arrested BREAKING - disgraced former prince Andrew Windsor has been arrested on 'suspicion of misconduct in public office'

BREAKING: Andrew has been arrested.

It's believed the rapist child trafficking royal has been arrested for passing on state secrets, not the aforementioned raping and child trafficking.

Zia Yusuf gets his arse handed to him on Newsnight over Equality Act Zia Yusuf couldn't explain exactly why Reform want to rip up the Equality Act - because that would involve saying the quiet part out loud

Nigel Farage appoints a bunch of Tories to his imaginary Reform shadow cabinet Reform aren't the official opposition to Labour, and as such cannot name a 'shadow cabinet' - but racist ol Nige just loves a photo op

Nigel Farage appoints a bunch of Tories to his imaginary Reform shadow cabinet

As the racist party are not the official opposition, they don't get to name a shadow cabinet. But why would the facts stop Farage?

There's literally always a tweet

DWP slammed by MPs for demonising claimants as 'fraudsters' A committee of MPs has laid into the DWP over its propaganda around benefit fraud - when it's the department that's the problem

A committee of MPs has laid into the DWP over its propaganda around benefit fraud - when it's the department that's the problem

This is the most lukewarm take ever but I actually feel really sorry for the people mourning the ai model update. It's really sad that they felt they had to create this friend/ loved one instead of being able to have a real human connection

Obsessed with the positions on doubles luge, theres no way that was invented on purpose

DWP forced to admit 1 in 5 privately contracted benefit assessors aren't safeguard trained Labour need to stop blaming the Tories and face up to the fact that they're using the DWP to make disabled people's lives worse

DWP forced to admit 1 in 5 privately contracted benefit assessors aren’t safeguard trained

Labour is still trying to blame the Tories for DWP failures, but they've made life even worse for disabled claimants in the last 18 months

a photo from the florence and the machine gig. on stage you can just say make out florence a white woman with long ginger hair dressed in a long black dress. On the screens above the stage is florence close up with her arms held up. All around the stage are crowds and crowds on people

If youre a single woman this is your sign (or maybe permission) to go to the concert, restaurant, cinema or even that dream holiday by yourself.

Did my first solo gig yesterday. Always dreamed of seeing Florence live and I got a last minute ticket. Fucking magical.

BBC demonises homeless man who had to sleep on trains A homeless man who slept on trains for shelter portrayed as a “fare dodger” by the BBC. The real scandal here is a system punishing poverty

A homeless man who slept on trains was portrayed as a “fare dodger” by the BBC. But the real story should how much the state utterly fails poor people

DWP says WCA will still be going strong in 2031, despite previously saying otherwise DWP figures reveal the Work Capability Assessment won’t disappear after all, despite pledges to abolish it. So what changed — and why?

The DWP shared figures that show the WCA will still be going strong in 2031 - despite previously claiming it'll be abolished by 2029. This once again shows how much of a farce the Timms Review is
