McFadden misleads The Telegraph

"Last thing we want to do is assess a snapshot...assess once & that’s the end of it”

Wrong! The WCA is a RIGOUROUS & REPEATED process

"Youngsters mustn't be abandoned on sickness benefits"

Wrong! Only 73,685 under 22s receive sickness benefits (1.6%)

Single parents four times more likely to be homeless

Single-parent families are almost four times as likely to experience homelessness than those with two parents, Shelter has warned

This is PRECISELY why ME has to be universally recognised as a physical illness, so doctors can do justice to the patient in front of them - this letter shows EXACTLY how, by blurring the issue (mind/body blabla), we can do justice neither to a person’s physical nor their mental health.

‚It is an appalling failure of research, fact checking and editorial supervision that an otherwise informative and necessary piece about the experiences people with chronic health conditions has misled readers in such crucial ways and perpetuated these damaging myths.‘

WILL NEW DWP BOSS MCFADDEN BE WORSE THAN KENDALL Last week, Liz Kendall was sacked as secretary of state for work and pensions, and was replaced by Pat McFadden. But will a cabinet enforcer who talks tough on welfare, but has a strong liking for freebies and handouts, be worse news than his predecessor for claimants? In July 2012, just before MPs expenses rules were changed to stop them claiming mortgage interest, McFadden moved out of his own home and rented the house next door. He was able to claim the £625 rent he paid as allowable expenses whilst installing a tenant into the home he owned and charging them £700 a month rent to cover the mortgage. This is the same man who told Sky News last September "It's really important that if money is spent on benefits, it goes to those who are genuinely in need of it, and where there's fraud in the system that we try to root that out." Yet between March and July 2024, McFadden received gifts of football and concert tickets to the value of £5,620. That's more than many claimants get in benefits.

Our new DWP Secretary of State.
Labour = Tories.
Curtesy of benefits and work.
