Last time I checked, no Russian oligarch's wife had ever paid £170,000 for a game of tennis with Jeremy Corbyn

The DWP is facing a 'Disability Rebellion' - and it's starting online Disability Rebellion is a brand new inclusive online group gearing up to take on Labour's brutal disability benefit cuts www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

The DWP have responded to my FOI request. Their figures indicate that 87% of clamants currently receiving PIP daily living at the standard rate, and 13% of claimants receiving enhanced rate, are likely to lose their entitlement if the score 4 changes go ahead. www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/pers...

DWP PIP cuts under fire as Labour MP goes rogue and launches huge petition Richard Burgon has launched a petition that's already hit over 40,000 signatures, opposing DWP PIP and Universal Credit cuts - and calling for a wealth tax www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

THE CANARY: DWP PIP cuts could affect a shocking 1.3 million, revealing the brutal reality behind Labour's assurances. FOI exposes the truth of a government agenda veiled in lies and cruelty against the most vulnerable. - by Steve Topple

#PIP The toxic DWP are sending out a vile survey asking disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money They have no legal right to ask & you have no legal obligation to fill it in!

#PIP The vile DWP are sending out a toxic survey on how disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money DWP have no legal right to ask this information & you have no legal obligation to respond to this survey Or you can send a letter of opposition about the proposed changes (cuts to pip)

The DWP PIP survey on how people spend their money is being sent out. Here's what's in it. For once the rumours are actually true: the DWP survey on how people spend their PIP is arriving in the post. In short: tell them to Fuck Off. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

The WASPI women have smashed their crowdfunder to take the DWP to court The WASPI campaign has got the DWP further in its sights, thanks to the generosity of the public. We're here for this. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Watchdog raises concern over DWP plan to deduct benefit overpayments. Govt wants 24/7 access to benefit claimants bank accounts, remove money without agreement or court order, right to appeal. Banks will charge fees. People could be left without money to pay for essentials.

DWP horror as true scale of PIP cuts is revealed via an FOI The DWP had said PIP cuts will only affect 300,000 people. That was already a lie - and now, an FOI has exposed the horrific truth www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Imagine thinking buskers are the problem in an area with an M&M superstore.

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

"Reform UK in talks with ex-PM Liz Truss" "The ex-premier gave advice on how to engineer a major overhaul of the state." LOLZ. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u...

🚨 Since July last year, household energy bills have increased by almost £300 – the amount Labour promised to cut them by during the election. 😳 You'd expect Scottish Labour MSPs would be demanding action from their party’s UK Energy Minister? But not a single meeting has been held.

You can imagine the conversation at Reform Party HQ. "Let's poach the Tories' brightest and best talent!" "Well - none of them are interested, Nigel." "Well OK let's ask LIZ TRUSS to join us... instead, then. "

I wonder which of these Human rights does Farage not want us to have?!

Why Labour’s presumption on Brexit is wrong!

UK median wage, £29,628. Net pay, £24,852; barely enough to survive. Top 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Bottom 50% less than 5%. Can't revive economy without boosting purchasing power of the bottom 50%. Workers need higher share of GDP. Progressive taxation.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

2025: Nigel Farage, "We've never ever ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free" 2012: Nigel Farage, "We need to think about healthcare very very differently. We're going to have to move to an insurance based system of healthcare" And don't forget he got it wrong on Brexit too

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
