Essential reading (whole thread) - you’d rather be working than on PIP! If you think otherwise, it is because you have never had to have it or help someone apply for it!

So that's me and anyone who thinks everyone on PIP or with disabilities gets loads and it's all so easy is wrong. You can suddenly need it out of nowhere also it could be taken away because somebody is grumpy that day. And my friends that causes anxiety like you would not believe 13/n

Politicians - especially of the right - like to say how they would curtail benefits to balance the books. This is what it's like to be on the receiving end of that rhetoric. Worth reading to the very end
Thought I'd try a little thread about getting ill and all those glorious benefits, worth £20k, we all get.
Now I've never done this or said much about what's up with me but why not, sure it'll make no difference to some but it might others. 1/n

Thank you so very much to everyone who has reposted and donated, it's ever so kind.

I'm not there yet, so if you could possibly help, I'd be really grateful.
The reason I have to do this privately is that the need is urgent, and appointments in the state Health Service are stretching into 2027/2028.

Thank you very much to all those who have reposted and donated so far. I really do appreciate it.
I'm sorry to do this yet again, but I really need help.

I require an urgent colonoscopy, which has to be done privately. That costs money, which I don't have.

If you could possibly see your way clear to reposting or donating, I would be most grateful.

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Do please consider giving this a share. It honestly is a nice little Christmas story, genuinely for readers of 7-70+. And now it's out in English and French, it's great reading practice for learners of either language.

It's brilliant and exciting to see Zohran Mamdani elected.
More leaders like him please, and fewer like Cuomo, Schumer and the rest of the oligarch-pleasing, hope-destroying, election-losing, right-centrist political class.
