The Black Mental Health Manifesto was developed by a passionate group of Black people bringing their personal and professional experiences to fore. 🎥 hear what they have to say about why Black mental health matters 👇🏾 #ProtectBlackMentalHealth
If you asked every single person receiving benefits to give two words to describe their experience of the welfare system, I doubt you'd hear a single mention of "fairness" or "compassion"
People don't choose to be on disability benefits. It's their last resort. Stop blaming people with mental health problems. If the Secretary of State wants a grown-up conversation about this, then he should meet with us. We've sent an invite. 1/3
Deeply saddened by Parliament passing bill to facilitate deportations of people seeking asylum to Rwanda. The harm this could do to people’s mental health & disregard for human rights is beyond comprehension for any of us not facing this kind of threat
“The true sickness in this country can’t be found in a benefits office but in Downing Street. It is a political culture demonising people already suffering, and a rightwing media content to parrot the lies and bigotry it is fed.” Me on Sunak’s “sicknotes” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"True ugliness. It sits in prejudice, digging and clawing its way into our culture until 1 day the nice man who is taking your child’s school photo asks her to hide her hearing aids. This prejudice follows children into adulthood..If only society had the desire to edit that out."

Pleased Liz Kendall wants to end “culture of fear” at JobCentres and talks down use of sanctions. But it’s wrong to say Labour shouldn’t make benefits “more generous.” The consensus among major charities is that benefit rates don’t reflect basic costs. thetimes.co.uk/article/jobcen… (£)
We won't allow mental health to become a new front in the culture wars. Our chief exec @_Sarah_Hughes_ takes on the idea mental health culture has “gone too far”. And talks about the real reasons behind our nation's poor mental health: mind.org.uk/news-campaigns…
Over half of Black children, and 47% of Asian children are living in poverty. Utterly shocking in 2024 Britain, and inexcusable. This is a political choice.

We need to talk about this 😡 When will the UK government start taking mental health seriously? Let’s look at some of the stigmatising language in this statement 👇 (1/5)

Really significant that the Work & Pensions Select Committee has recommended today that benefit rates should be benchmarked against what households need to meet essential costs Here's what I said when I gave evidence to their inquiry on behalf of @NEF

Today's latest homelessness stats make for very grim reading: In England, the number of people rough sleeping rose by 27 per cent between the autumn of 2022 and 2023. In London, there was a 32 per cent increase.
Hugely excited about #Defiance - our new @Channel4 series about British Asian activists’ fightback against NF violence in the 70s & 80s - amazing stories from the frontline of resistance with @RoganProduction @lefthandedfilms @rizwanahmed broadcastnow.co.uk/channel-4/land…
📢 NEW: Building 90k social homes would add £51.2bn to the economy, boost employment AND save the taxpayer money. Plus, it would pay for *itself*. No more excuses. Our research proves the answer to the housing emergency is investing in social housing. ft.com/content/f44bba…
Psychosis is often sensationalised in the media. But Dan supported @bbceastenders to cover a psychosis storyline sensitively, through our media advisory service. In this piece he talks about his experience of psychosis. And why it's so important we all understand it better 👇…

It's not straightforward. Evidence shows that rather than consuming MORE housing, migrants often live in overcrowded homes with poor conditions. Labour shortages since Brexit have also impacted housebuilding.
Absolutely drained after a day of interviews on PIP reform. It’s so bloody infuriating to have to keep explaining: this is NOT an unemployed benefit; it is NOT easy to claim; and disabled people are NOT living the life of Riley on this benefit. Far from it.
I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Disabled people having vouchers instead of cash benefits buys into the idea we are scroungers who can’t be trusted not to spend the cash on fags and booze. When the Tories get their arse handed to them at the election, I’m spending my PIP on fucking champagne.

We are deeply concerned about the Government’s intentions to push through its bill and begin sending people seeking asylum in the UK to #Rwanda. This will put their mental health in danger and risks causing severe and lasting harm. 1/3 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688718…

I love @scope for this kind of thing - calling out the hate rhetoric and the bullshit behind it. You have my full support.
Enough is enough. Disabled people are not the problem. Last week the Prime Minister made a speech about so-called 'sicknote culture'. He also proposed major changes to disability benefits. Today we're launching a petition in response to this full-on assault of disabled people.

Work is not a health outcome, Labour. Coupling access to help with access to work has a long eugenics history. It is peak neoliberalism. Adequately fund mental health services and social services and the benefits bill will shrink.
