Not only is it nasty but also disingenuous 🤬
Media ramping it up without bothering to check facts
The latest trope is Free Cars
People give up their mobility component & pay a deposit. The cars are then re-sold after 3 years
It pays for itself

Day 461 of Lab Govt & 732 of #GazaGenocide‌
#ToriesGone461 days but their democidal nasty behaviour not changed
👇🏼MP reminds of Peter Lilly making similar speech in 1992 “I have a list” about disabled, long term sick “scroungers”.

Extensive building of social housing would depress the rental market. Many renters are waiting on housing lists for a decade or more.
This would free up properties for those wishing to buy and stop the bonkers property prices.
Ban the selling of social housing until then

Jerry Foley 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇮🇪 @foleyjerry.bsky.social · 7h

Thank You and Good Morning Sedley 👋

Yes, Govt must get on with the Building of Social Housing NOW. Unfreeze Housing Benefit in November's Budget, & introduce Rent Caps on unscrupulous Landlords!

Thatcher's Legacy is a Nation of Landlords, not Homeowners!

So much for “Christian values”:

Rev. David Black stood in silent prayer outside a Chicago ICE facility.

ICE agents fired pepper balls from the rooftop — one struck him in the head.

They didn’t just attack immigrants.
They attacked a minister mid-prayer.

LHAs cover around 50-60% of market rents. The exploitation of private renters is scandalous.
Build more social housing NOW, Labour.

Housing Benefit is failing to cover the true cost of Private Rent, & it’s forcing People across 🇬🇧 into Poverty, Ill Health & Homelessness.

Please Email/RT your MP: unfreeze Housing Benefit to prevent Homelessness!
Thanks 👇

Good Morning dear Sedley 🙏🌹
Yeh #ToriesGone460 but they still haven’t found a way back as there is a drip drip move to join/jump ahead of Reform in terms of racism & fascism. I mean BadEnoch planning to recruite a Gestapo army to deport “illegal” refugees.
I think they will merge.

Absolutely!

Leaning into REFORM will not win over any new support for Tory or Labour & will alienate their Voter Base!

Richard is spot on
2010 saw the slashing of benefits for disabled people

Nazi Germany had a name for it, the 'untermensch'. Useless eaters
