Any MP, or indeed any individual, saying that the welfare spend is "out of control" (or words to that effect) needs to be corrected by us and, ideally, by our so called journalists.

There is a lot of misinformation about the UK social security spending.
The chart below shows Total UK social security spending as a percentage of GDP, 2013/14 to 2030/31 (spending & forecast)
55% goes to pensioners, the remainder covers everything else.

Today MPs will vote on the amended welfare bill.
MPs who choose to walk through the lobby and support this bill are paving the way for at least 150,000 people to be pulled into poverty.
Here are just 3 reasons why they should oppose this bill from @katieschmuecker.bsky.social 🔽

New from me - Labour is gutting "substantial risk" for new UC claimants - the legal safeguard protecting suicidal & vulnerable disabled people from DWP pressure. This is life-and-death so please write to Lords for Tuesday & have it centred in Timms review tinyurl.com/4h8fazur #TakingThePIP
