Hey @mind.org.uk and @autisticsociety.bsky.social - why are you quoted in here as welcoming this? How is this likely to help people with mental health issues, autism or ADHD when it’s clearly about saving money and cutting off people’s benefits?

@mind.org.uk why are you supporting this?
You know the only reason is to cut services

Absolutely monstrous, this is racist, classist, and disablist. Vile National Front level bigotry from the Starmer regime.

Oh look Sue Marsh blocked me because I pointed out she's a sell out. After years of disability activism she took a 70k job (it would be more now) with Maximus
You work for Maximus you sold out

We’ve now got UK politicians making actual policy announcements and plans based on bigoted Social Media rhetoric, rather than experts and evidence.

We’re truly and utterly fucked.

If you've not seen the #waitrose posts ⬇️

Where "volunteering" and work placement schemes are used to exploit chronically ill, disabled and neurodivergent people. It's dire...

All this talk about working people ah? @rachelcdailey.bsky.social

Just @mind.org.uk having a bake-off with the DWP, who regularly impoverish people with mental health issues and drive them to suicide. Cake or death? Or let them eat cake? 🤔

Work should not be a healthcare outcome.

It should be the last step of "recovery" for those who are able to get to that stage and for whom it is a positive step.

Employment and healthcare should not be conflated, ever... And if someone can't work, they can't work.

Semi-regular update on how many jobs there actually are for disabled people in the UK, according to DWP Find a Job

All Jobs: 110,774
Fully Remote: 673
Of which are disability confident: 92
Of which are part-time: 5

BUT 3 of them are in care homes, so TWO WHOLE JOBS

I know you're worried about the level of Keir Starmer's cuntiness.

Digital ID is another measure to make Keir Starmer even more loathsome, making the border between him and a bucket of fascist shit indistinguishable.

Getting rid of Keir Starmer would make for a fairer Britain.
