Timms desperately tries to hide the truth about pension age PIP Get the benefits you're entitled to: help with personal independence payment (PIP), universal credit (UC), employment and support allowance (ESA),disability living allowance (DLA). Claims, assessments, reviews, appeals.

DWP Minister Sir Stephen Timms accused of hiding the fact that pensioners will be subject to new PIP rules from. November 2026 and will lose their benefit if their circumstances change and they fail the four point test on review bit.ly/4mxzo8b

Starmer has today confirmed what I reported a week ago – Labour believe Reform will be their main opponent at the next election.

David Tennant, "Keir Starmer talking at the VE Day commemoration event said: we owe the veterans that can never be fully repaid"

"He could start by giving them back the Winter Fuel Allowance" #HIGNFY

Green deputy launches leadership bid with UK ‘eco-populism’ vision Exclusive: Surprise challenger Zack Polanski says party can learn from success of Nigel Farage and Reform UK

This is a very interesting intervention in the Greens. Polanski is a strong communicator.

Personally I think it would make sense for the Greens to have one leader rather than two - the co-leadership model equates to less than the sum of its parts at the moment

Australia Election 2025: Why did opposition leader Peter Dutton lose? A Trump effect and a lack of a coherent campaign saw opposition leader Peter Dutton lose the election.

The conservative wannabe-Trump opposition leaders in both Canada and Australia lost both their bids to become prime minister - but also their own seats!

To quote ⁦‪Rick Wilson‬⁩: everything Trump touches dies.

Disability cuts; North East worst hit region in Britain Disability benefit cuts will hit the North East hard “entrenching deprivation”

Starmer faces Labour revolt over plan to raid bank accounts of benefit claimants Welfare fraud bill would allow funds to be taken from bank accounts and driving licences to be cancelled

Starmer faces Labour revolt over plan to raid bank accounts of benefit claimants.

This revived Tory Bill must be defeated, assumes that everyone on benefits is a criminal and doesn't deserve any financial privacy.

The plan wasn't in the manifesto. There is no impact assessment.

Socialism is that thing the very rich are scared of because it would tax them out of existence to provide things like Healthcare and Housing for all.

Could all supermarkets and shops in the UK please do this and also indicate the country a product is manufactured in.

People should be given the choice to boycott countries based on cost and values of their businesses and governments.

A Trump appointed judge rules that the @AP White House ban is unconstitutional.

@MartinSLewis is right to mention that energy bills are going up but he doesn't mention the root cause - that we allow the global price of fossil gas to set the price of the energy we make from the wind and sun. If we ‘break the link’ we can lower energy bills.

It's great TV watching these CNBC analysts realize there is no "theory" on TV in real time and they can't even invent one. One just said "They're burning down the house to cook a steak." There's a phone ringing off the hook in the background no one's picking up. It's chaos, I recommend it.

Who knew penguins were part of the global conspiracy ripping off the USA - Trump did obvs...:)

Farage happy to sell out farmers and food standards to placate big American poultry... and Trump

Note: The USA has almost non existent welfare standards in that sector and that's why they chlorinate the meat.

MPs to vote on disability benefit cuts without knowing ‘full impact’ Britain’s economic watchdog may not publish forecast of employment prospects until the end of October

MPs to vote on disability benefit cuts without knowing ‘full impact’.

The same thing happened with the winter fuel payment cut.

Will the alleged savings materialise? The impact on the NHS, GPs, families, people?

Lack of impact assessment is a good reason to vote against the cuts.

They hate Gary Stevenson because they hate anyone who is a threat to their wealth.

They will say anything, any smear, any lie.

These disgusting people need to be taxed so badly they can't even buy a newspaper, nevermind own one.

Telegraph produces chart showing Wealth Tax in red.

They are terrified.

Tax the bastards.

UK govt must reverse benefit cuts for the disabled/poor.

3m families to lose £1,720 a year in real terms.

OBR says people receiving disability benefits generally have limited capability for work. It couldn't corroborate govt claim that work is available.

There are alternatives to the govt policy.

The US is going to test the resolve of Europe and NATO and invade Greenland.

If Europe and NATO bottle it, anything is possible.

‘I can’t sleep, I’m so scared’: disabled people face benefit cuts domino effect Three people tell how knock-on impact of losing Pip on carer’s allowance and other benefits will affect their families

“I can’t sleep, I’m so scared.”

My report in tomorrow’s Guardian on the disability benefit cuts “domino effect”: losing PIP will see unpaid carers lose their benefits too - pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
