In 2017, the @DWP ignored an extensive UN investigation that found the sanctioning regime to be an "inhuman" breach of human rights.

Now it turns out since 2020, they've tried hiding evidence that disabled people are going hungry on their watch.

bigissue.com/news/social-ju… The welfare system is inadequate, punitive, and unfit for purpose. What makes it worse is the @DWP being overseen by odious individuals like @theresecoffey, who get a kick out of abusing poor and vulnerable people.

The DWP should be abolished, its functions folded into HMRC.

There is a reasonable chance I'll be named on an energy account from the very end of November.

So I won't even receive the stupid yet compulsory £200 loan, yet will still be expected to pay it back from 2023.

@RishiSunak's School of Economics, for complete idiots. I'm literally going to be paying £40py to the government (and where does it go?) for support I never received or asked for, and this will be on top of the energy bill that is now 54% higher.

Reminder to others that in the event of civil unrest, I'm in that mob.

LGB Allance makes their hatred for bi people very clear frequently. So why include us in their name? Because the minute they don't, they have to admit it's not about a sexuality vs gender distinction at all, but about hate.

Bisexuality is the thorn in their side. They incorrectly define bisexuality deliberately, speak over bisexual people frequently, and it's all because they cannot stand that bisexuality inherently contradicts their core values - but they NEED our 'B' for any of their hatred to make sense to the people they target.

my all-time favourite fictional women Vanessa Ives, Penny Dreadful

She has demons to contend with, and thinks little of herself or her appearance, but is always there for everyone no matter what she's going through. She sees the best in people, and strives to take their pain for herself.

Do you know what I did after I tried telling people in my family that I felt suicidal and they dismissed it, literally laughing it off in disbelief?

I tried committing suicide. I'd do so three more times. I now live with the constant anxiety that those thoughts could come back. If the courage you've found to admit to people that life isn't preferable, or better that you need some help, is then met by dismissal or denial, it is something that can turn a crisis into a tragedy.

Any institution or TV presenter that facilitates this, needs tearing down.
