"Why were figures on deaths and serious harm withheld until after the benefit cuts vote? Why have IPR recommendations dating back to 2020 remained unpublished? Are systemic risks ever proactively monitored — or only examined after tragedies emerge?"

Canary · New DWP guidance on claimant deaths is an exercise in self-preservationThe DWP guidance arrived suspiciously soon after MPs voted to cut disability‑related Universal Credit payments. For shame.

Stanisław #Kostulski z #Razem:

Państwowa Inspekcja Pracy zamyka swój oddział w Grudziądzu. Teraz od prawa do lewa wśród lokalnych posłów i działaczy jest płacz i zgrzytanie zębami, ale w głosowaniu nad budżetem 10 miesięcy temu tylko @razem głosowała za uratowaniem budżetu #PIP. Wiarygodność.

I’ve been playing around with Python a bit this morning. My knowledge of Python is minimal.

At work, I primarily code in Ruby on Rails. Everybody likes to shit on Ruby on Rails for being “old tech”.

But let me tell you: Bundler absolutely beats the SHIT out of pip for dependency resolution and ease of use, hands down. There is no contest.

I am amazed that modern coding is primarily based on JavaScript and Python, two languages with toolchains that are LEGENDARY TRASHFIRES. I swear, using various 8-bit embedded C toolchains fifteen years ago was less esoteric and frustrating than dealing with this bullshit.

Surprised to see a #Python package on #pip called deutschland. Apparently, there is a #Deutschland API (#Germany API), which facilitates standardized access to various #public services of the #German government.

I wasn't even aware of the many public interfaces that the government and public services provide.

Kudos!

The proposed #UKGov #PIP Law actually appears to be unlawful!

‘The legal opinion says: “there can be no doubt that the reforms are regressive in #HumanRights terms. Therefore, in accordance with the principle of non-retrogression, they are presumed to be prohibited under #UNCRPD, #ICESCR and #UNCRC. Accordingly, the burden falls on the Government to show that despite the regressive nature of the reforms, they are complying with their obligations under the Treaties.”’

EquityWelfare reforms breach international law, says new expert legal opinionNew expert legal opinion says the government’s welfare reforms “result in very serious breaches” of international human rights law and constitute “human rights violations for disabled people” and describes the proposals as “aggressive measures”, “regressive” and “prohibited”.

Today I was looking at the latest mwmbl source code changes. There I saw that @daoud changed pip for uv. uv is ''an extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust'''.

github.com/astral-sh/uv

Certainly sth worth to have a look at.

Continued thread

Not consulting with #Disabled organisations and charities on #PIP eligibility rule changes is the key reason #Labour #welfare legislation was so poor that their own MPs rebelled in huge numbers against it.

#Starmer gutted the bill at the last minute because his own MPs could not support something that they knew was unworkable, unethical and would lead to the financial penury and deaths of their constituents.

Poor legislation is proposed when beancounters at the Treasury simply don’t consult.

Would you have thought that before putting out a Green Paper proposing massive changes to #PIP eligibility rules, #Labour would have consulted the key stakeholders? Organisations and charities supporting the #disabled. Especially as these so called #WelfareReforms were not in their 2024 manifesto?

Well you would be wrong. My friend has just received this FOI request back from the DWP…
