Please right to your MP about the cuts to disability benefits, a form is available here:
Umming and ahhing about whether a #FediForum ticket is a wise investment for me atm.
Once the #PIP cuts hit I'll be trying to live in £375 a month unless I can find a new client and the spoons to actually do the work for them.

"Impact assessments of the #welfare reforms ... showed an additional 250,000 people being pushed into relative poverty as a result of the cuts to the personal independence payment and incapacity benefit."
"A single person losing #PIP daily living and LCWRA could lose £818 per month – 58% of their income"

If I hear the words ‘difficult choices’ from #Labour #Starmer #Reeves #Rayner et al today in regards to cuts to #PIP etc I shall fucking scream. #Austerity #Disability #Carer
Amazing how the difficult choices always fal on those already struggling.
Na kanwie mema z dominem:
1. #setuptools zaczyna normalizować nazwy plików archiw binarych, w zgodzie z PEP 491.
…
n. #PyCXX nagle zaczyna instalować nagłówki w `/usr/include/python*/cxx` zamiast `CXX` (wielkimi literami).
Co ciekawe, problem dotyka zarówno paczek #pip i #installer. Krótko mówiąc, ścieżka instalacji nagłówków używa "nazwy dystrybucji", i wygląda na to, że w obydwu przypadkach nazwa ta pobierana jest z nazwy pliku. Nie wiem, czy to błąd, ale myślę, że zgłoszę, na wszelki wypadek. W installerze nawet jest notatka, wskazująca, że autor nie był pewny, czy używać oryginalnej, czy znormalizowanej nazwy.
Domino meme:
1. #setuptools starting to finally normalize wheel filenames per PEP 491.
…
n. #PyCXX suddenly installing header files into `/usr/include/python*/cxx` instead of uppercase `CXX`.
Funny enough, it affects both #pip and #installer. Long story short, the include install path uses "distribution name", and in both cases the distribution name is apparently taken from the filename. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I guess i'll file bugs. Installer even has a TODO item to determine whether they should be using original or normalized name.
Cruel cuts to disability support: the Prime Minister needs to hear from your MP | Trussell

@ChrisMayLA6 Mis-use of a Motability vehicle does not equal benefit fraud.
A claimant can rightfully get #PIP and apply for a Motability car but abuse occurs if the carer or family member does not use the car for the benefit of the claimant. For example, a family member is using the Motability car for commuting every day leaving the claimant without transport.
"Because Pip is a “gateway”, any disabled person who loses the benefit will not only lose that income but other entitlements too, such as free prescriptions & council tax deductions. Most starkly, removing someone’s Pip will mean their unpaid carer losing carer’s allowance – in effect pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once"

The comments in this piece regarding the latest #PIP points scoring system cover almost word for word the conversation I had with my disabled self employed friend last week.
The technocratic inhumane nature of #Starmer and #Reeves is no different to #Sunak.
Social care is going to completely implode. Who do they will pick up the pieces of 1st female chancellor’s actions?
Women.
'There has been no explanation as to how #Pip has been empowering support for those people with disabilities," said Robert Buckland on today's #BBCLauraK
Well, it has brought me a wheelchair, warm clothing, and fuel payment
It’s not just that their policies are wrong and cruel. UK Labour remain completely tone deaf and seem gleefully unrepentant.

“Reeves was also pressed over having accepted free tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter concert with a family member, despite the row over Starmer’s acceptance of “freebies” last year.
She said it had not been possible to pay for the tickets offered as hospitality and she had accepted them because it was difficult to sit in general seating because of her security needs.
“Look, I took those tickets to go with a member of my family,” she said. “I thought that was the right thing to do from a security perspective.”
