Britain has seen a notable rise in the number of individuals claiming long-term sickness benefits, according to the latest data from the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) over 2.5 million people are now classified as economically inactive due to long-term illness, a record high.
Job hunting and running a business share a common struggle; despite effort, visibility, and determination, opportunities remain scarce. The case of Joe Emery highlights the reality that many people face: endless applications, countless rejections, and a system that seems blind to the human toll of unemployment. Businesses, particularly disabled entrepreneurs, mirror this struggle, working tirelessly yet seeing minimal returns.
Claimants are not inferior. They are individuals navigating hardship through no fault of their own. The people who work within the DWP and Universal Credit should be trained and reminded that respect is non-negotiable. Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, especially when they’re asking for help, not handouts.
Job hunting can be an emotional rollercoaster. For many applicants, it’s not just about career advancement, it’s about survival, stability, and dignity. Yet far too often, candidates are left in the dark, ignored for months or indefinitely “ghosted” after investing time, energy, and hope into their application. The silence can be deafening, and detrimental to mental health.
Raynaud’s disease (also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon or syndrome) is a circulatory condition that affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes. When exposed to cold temperatures or stress, the small blood vessels in the extremities constrict excessively, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, colour changes, and functional limitations.
Dropshipping is a business model that allows entrepreneurs to sell products online without holding inventory. Instead of stocking goods, the store sells the product, and then passes the sales order to a third-party supplier who ships the product directly to the customer. This model has a low barrier to entry, minimal upfront investment, and is perfect for people wanting to start an eCommerce business from home.
There has never been a more empowering time to start a business from scratch, especially if you are long-term unemployed, disabled, or seeking independence from a system that doesn’t always serve you. With government policy actively encouraging people to return to work, including those who face barriers due to disability or health, starting your own business can be a powerful, self-directed solution. You gain not only control over your income and routine but also protection from benefit sanctions, while still receiving financial support as you build your dream from the ground up.
Enhancing a business before an acquisition isn’t about putting on a temporary show. It’s about building a company that truly runs better, looks sharper, and feels more solid to the outside world. These improvements not only attract buyers but also make the current business more profitable and easier to manage. For owners, it means stepping into negotiations with confidence, knowing their business is worth every penny and possibly more.
While reforming PIP to make it more compassionate and efficient is a valid goal, the current welfare vote signals a dangerous turn toward conditionality and restriction. The proposed “two-tier” approach risks further marginalising vulnerable people and failing to address the diverse spectrum of disability and illness in the UK. Without meaningful consultation, real investment, and a focus on dignity and independence, the government may not be reforming welfare, but dismantling it.
While ordinary citizens face austerity, rising living costs, and funding cuts, Members of Parliament continue to enjoy generous salaries, expenses, and perks, often without meaningful public oversight. Why do those in power operate by a different rulebook, and who holds them accountable?
