This Week in Mentalists – Final Edition
This Week in Mentalists is a series that’s been going for several years now, hosted on various blogs. It’s now time for it to come to an end. As I described a few days ago, this is for a few reasons.

Reblogged from the void: Employment Minister Esther McVey's desperate attempt to mislead the public over the Bedroom Tax hit a new low this week with the woefully distorted reporting of a recent DWP survey. In a breathtakingly dishonest press release, McVey claimed that the public support the Bedroom Tax based on the findings of a recent poll carried out by the DWP.

DWP calls in Rentadoc to harass the sick off-benefit
Reblogged from Vox Political: Perhaps we're jumping the gun with the headline but alarm bells tend to go off when you read that "people on sickness benefits will be required to have regular meetings with healthcare professionals to help them with their barriers to work".
