#everything from like my mum cannot walk xyz distance to she cannot do anything she used to be able to do

so so angry about the rhetoric and discourse being made towards and about disabled people being used by Starmer's Labour. It's exacerbating the divide of worker = good and works not just for their better prospects for the UK, non worker = bad and fraudulent. It isn't just suggesting that there are fraudulent claims, something that is a) already Incredibly low, b) many who have been classed as "fraudulent" are not, have hidden disabilities and have then been reported on a good day, but also enhancing the narrative that there is the entrepreneur or "deserving" who wants to work and the lazy who does not.

Not being able to leave the house and being bedridden is not something anyone Chooses to do. It can have devastating consequences on mental health. The money provided by benefits is barely enough with the cost of living and increasing greed of the landlords.

But of course the expenses of the Lords, some of whom Literally Do Not Turn Up, are the ones that are fine and the people who only just get by are seen as unfit to be able to live.
