8 years ago I was "invited" to a mandatory #PIP assessment after returning the 80-page @DWPgovuk questionnaire with a post-it note saying "As I'm not a salamander my legs haven't grown back." This is what happened next...

Look at this chart 👇 Many if not most of the children on DLA will go onto PIP. Around half of children who get DLA become NEETs. There’s a clear path from child DLA to PIP to a lifetime on benefits. We must change this.

I stress again that the PIP criteria is online for everybody to see. People are being manipulated by headlines and dodgy data. You do not get it for just having anxiety, you need to credibly prove whatever your condition tangibly impacts your ability to look after yourself.

About 20 years ago I signed up for the Great South Run. Wondered if I could do 10 miles in the chair. 2 decades and 36 marathons later, it's wild to look back. A few quid raised; a few people, so I'm told, inspired. As the great philosopher wrote, "That'll do, pig. That'll do."

Oh look, the overly-simplified, "it's obvious, innit", solution to a complex situation don't actually work. Whoulda thunk it?

Because there are fewer South Asian and Muslim last names, compared to British ones, they appear more frequently, thus skewing the top 10. Stop with the divisive misinformation you loopy old Fascist.

A shocking Daily Mail report demonstrates the vast scale of demographic change our country is suffering. In 1996, Smith, Jones and Williams were the most common surnames for newborns - Taylor, Brown, Davies, Evans, Thomas, Johnson and Wilson finished the top ten. Now? The top ten surnames among newborns are Smith, Khan, Ahmed, Ali, Jones, Hussain, Singh, Williams, Patel and Kaur. Our country is changing in ways the British people do not want, and we voted against. Again and again. Mass immigration has transformed our society. It’s already happened, and the scale is intensifying. Demographic security matters, and there is one political party willing to fight for it. Restore Britain.

If we were all to send Danny Tommo an @RNLI Christmas card simply containing "LOL", it would make a lot of money for a brilliant charity and be hilarious at the same time. Cards can be purchased here shop.rnli.org/collections/ch… Please spread the word.
