Labour is choosing to push 50,000 *more* children into poverty — and it is utterly disgraceful.

Cutting disability benefits is a major public health risk, says Centre for Mental Health  - Centre for Mental Health

Headlines calling Britain the “sick man” of the developed world rely on selective data. Yes, disability claims have risen but not as much as claimed. UK’s trend reflects deep systemic issues not collapse. Spending is still within OECD norms. Stop leaking false propaganda, Labour. #WelfareNotWorkfare

DWP is using a sleight of hand in its disability benefit cuts impact assessment: Actual increase in poverty is closer to 400,000, not the 250,000 in the impact assessment.

Quick thread explaining why. 🧵1/7

As relevant now as it was then
A friend sent me this image of her placard, made for demo 14 years ago when Tories were in power.
Sadly still relevant today with a Labour Government.
