CW: UK politics, social security / benefit payments, mh--, semi-suicide threat, but also stubborn enough to live just to spite the wannabe-tories
... ok so these fuckers really ARE trying to kill us.

I'm so close to the fucking edge this year.
I got a 1 kg bag of tapioca pearls for boba tea to make cheaper at home so I can still have a treat. Saw the price tag and was like "hmmm. *Do* I want / deserve an easy sweet treat I can add nutrient powder to as needed and sip for hydration?"
I got it in the end, but everyone deserves nice things. Yes, even the people you hate. Even the asshole down the street. Maybe if they got nice things and felt nicer, they might be kinder to people around them, idfk.#UK #UKpol #pol #politics #UK_politics #UKpolitics #DWP #PIP #UC #UniversalCredit #disability #disabled #DisabledSocial #disabilities #MassDisablingEvent #LongCovid #MECFS #LearningDifficulty #LearningDisability #SpLDiff #SpecificLearningDifficulty #money #cash #currency #policy #PolicyAnalysis #spending #budget #economy #equality #inequality #benefits #BenefitsCuts #BenefitsClaimants #illness #ChronicHealth #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness

The support with childcare costs for those on Universal Credit at least used to be on the basis of you have to pay for the childcare and claim a share of it back. If that is still the case you still need to be able to afford to pay the fees up front and only get paid back for a percentage of it in about a month's time.
