Being disabled, or living in a household where someone is disabled, is one of the strongest predictors of poverty in the UK—yet Labour has chosen to cut £5bn from disability benefits, stripping support from 1 million people

The Tories brought back malnutrition with such effectiveness that that they managed to resurrect Victorian diseases such as childhood rickets, scurvy and tuberculosis.

It is funny and sad all at the same time
it's great for "wired but tired" sensations and spikes of (nor)adrenalin - although you can spend the first few days totally unable to stay awake thanks to hyperinsomnia

Apparently you can't edit your own posts yet? Not even to change the privacy setting. Hmm...
Now I'm here I have no idea what to post. I guess I'm just going to follow and retweet/repost.
