Nadia Whittome Instagram – For @leftlionmagazine, I wrote about the Tories’ attacks on benefit claimants.
Shaming people who are disabled or unwell won’t magically make them fit to work. Neither will plunging them into destitution.
We need a welfare system that treats people with dignity.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we don’t need platitudes.
People struggling with mental illness need:
– Well funded NHS services
– A welfare system that doesn’t dehumanise them
– An end to the stigma which the Tory government is perpetuating.
