JuneSim63<p>"Meanwhile, the government has no difficulty announcing a £13.4 billion increase in military spending. Is this meant to make disabled people on the verge of destitution feel safer?

Jen<p>You know what might actually help some of us work? A council-run trades service.</p><p>I need a weekly cleaner who will actually turn up. I need a plasterer without the ringing round trying to get quotes. I need a decorator without the searching and trying to get recommendations. I need someone I can call to change lightbulbs I can't safely reach and hook the curtain back on its rings.</p><p>I'd happily pay the going rate for the work if it got rid of the headaches.</p><p><a href="https://geekdom.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a> <a href="https://geekdom.social/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> <a href="https://geekdom.social/tags/BenefitCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BenefitCuts</span></a></p>

JuneSim63<p>"..what is the point of the Labour party?</p><p>Well, the point, it seems, is to be as not-Labour as possible, and that purpose was fashioned in a battle against those on the left of the party, rather than its desire to be the canny custodian of leftwing politics once in power.
