People living with life-limiting illnesses that will only get worse shouldn’t have to be put through repeated benefits reassessments. They add stress and paperwork at a time when people are already dealing with so much. It has to stop. 🛑 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Still reeling from brilliant @praxisprojects.bsky.social mass lobby yesterday. Final numbers tbc but 80+ MPs met with campaigners from across the country! Brilliant speakers Olivia Blake, Hannah Spencer, @zoejardiniere.bsky.social and RCN. I feel optimistic about what we can achieve.
