'Jeremy Corbyn came closer than ever to declaring a new left electoral coalition or political party on Saturday. ....a new formation would be set up before..English local elections in May 2026....the left outside Labour “will want to be part of and support” it' socialistworker.co.uk/news/corbyn-...

Yes!

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social please make it so, we are politically homeless and every day more desperate

Labour MP John McDonnell says that the Government's cuts to disability benefits will cause "immense suffering" and "loss of life".

The prime minister’s vital commitment to improved living standards for all would be shattered if disabled people are left behind. Children in a household where someone has a disability already have a higher risk of poverty and further cuts would only make life harder for many of these families...

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?

Expert weighs in on Streeting's mental health 'overdiagnosis' claims - because his degree in history makes him such an expert on diagnosing mental health. www.thenational.scot/news/2501434...

Cuts to health-related benefit spending are expected - but history tells us that rushed cuts should be avoided. Reforming the system carefully for long-term gains is more important than securing short-term savings.

Anything other than this is a betrayal not only of the poorest in Britain, but of those who voted Labour in the last election. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Today Kendall says she wants to turn jobcentres from places of ‘distrust and punishment’ into ones that help people. If every disability organisation, health body & the Citizens Advice Bureau says these plans will worsen trust—there’s a solution. Pause. Listen. Consult.

Cutting benefits will push more people into poverty and worsen people's physical and mental health, according to Clare Moriarty, CEO of @citizensadvice.bsky.social and a former civil servant #benefitcuts #disability

We’ve united with Scope, @disrightsuk.bsky.social @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social and @turn2us.bsky.social against cuts to disability benefits. Together, we’ve published an open letter urging the govt to safeguard them. Read the full letter on Scope’s website. buff.ly/FhxKY7U #Disability

Starmer urged to introduce wealth tax instead of cutting disability benefits – UK politics live

Urgent: don't cut disability benefits. It is wrong to balance the books by taking from the people who are least able to pay Sign the petition: r.ippl.es/benefit-cuts/

If only….. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

1/2 My view on potential welfare cuts: If a government drives people who are unwell into exploitative and insecure work, the illness doesn’t go away. We'll see more people on waiting lists, visiting food banks, & pushed into services that are past breaking point. www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Our pollinators here in the UK are dropping rapidly. This partly due to how much pesticide we use. France has banned pesticides from towns & cities & many other European nations are trying to do the same. Join me and tell the UK government to do likewise & protect our pollinators: act.gp/41dxd0E

Keir Starmer could face biggest rebellion over disability benefit freeze Dozens of MPs have been going into No10 and say they believe they are taken aback by the scale of the backlash, especially from 2024s. One v loyal MP says it will be “much worse” than winter fuel

We're in your corner 💙 This week, we wrote to Rachel Reeves. And our CEO, Sarah Hughes, met with the minister in charge of disability benefits to raise our concerns. 1/2

No one prepares you for how much mobility issues & disability fucks with your self perception of worth in other peoples lives. What I can do for the people I care about has greatly changed, and I feel useless so much.

John is being too polite - Headline should have been "DWP refuses to apologise for lying ..." DWP refuses to apologise after using ‘deeply irresponsible’ figure to exaggerate benefit claimant rise www.disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-refuses-... via @johnpringdns

The latest NHS England planning guidance sets out instructions, targets and priorities for health leaders. We’ve learned that the guidance sets out no further plans to tackle the long mental health waiting lists.

🧵 Last night, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall suggested some people are "taking the mickey" by claiming benefits instead of working. Given many on disability benefits have mental health problems, comments like this trivialise the realities of mental illness. It’s deeply disheartening. 1/5

Speaking on BBC’s Today programme this morning, Wes Streeting described the state of mental health as “dire”
