Does the recent announcement about strangling the UK's Personal Independence Payment affect Scotland? They have ADP, not PIP.

Often the reports/discussions of "UK" policies should say "in England and Wales" (or just "in England" because Wales has some different systems too).

I don't know about this one.

BBC News - Working class don't want handouts, says Rayner

Nope, they don't want "A Handout".
They want #DisabilityBenfits #PIP #UniversalCredit... AKA: SOCIAL. SECURITY. FUNDS.

VITAL finances to help them navigate a world of #Disability, where #disabled people are vilified and are DEFINITELY NOT treated as EQUALS in ANY Way...

Na kanwie mema z dominem:

1. #setuptools zaczyna normalizować nazwy plików archiw binarych, w zgodzie z PEP 491.
…
n. #PyCXX nagle zaczyna instalować nagłówki w `/usr/include/python*/cxx` zamiast `CXX` (wielkimi literami).

Co ciekawe, problem dotyka zarówno paczek #pip i #installer. Krótko mówiąc, ścieżka instalacji nagłówków używa "nazwy dystrybucji", i wygląda na to, że w obydwu przypadkach nazwa ta pobierana jest z nazwy pliku. Nie wiem, czy to błąd, ale myślę, że zgłoszę, na wszelki wypadek. W installerze nawet jest notatka, wskazująca, że autor nie był pewny, czy używać oryginalnej, czy znormalizowanej nazwy.

Discussions on Python.org · Installing headers from wheel: should the directory be normalized or not?I’d like to discuss the correct behavior for installing headers (as in .h files) from wheels. What prompted me to do this is that the recent change in setuptools where wheel filenames started being normalized, domino-style broke installing pycxx package, as headers started being installed into lowercase cxx directory rather than uppercase CXX as the reverse dependencies expected.

Domino meme:

1. #setuptools starting to finally normalize wheel filenames per PEP 491.
…
n. #PyCXX suddenly installing header files into `/usr/include/python*/cxx` instead of uppercase `CXX`.

Funny enough, it affects both #pip and #installer. Long story short, the include install path uses "distribution name", and in both cases the distribution name is apparently taken from the filename. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I guess i'll file bugs. Installer even has a TODO item to determine whether they should be using original or normalized name.

TrussellCruel cuts to disability support: the Work and Pensions Secretary needs to hear from your MPOur social security system should be there for us all, especially when we need it most. But the UK government has proposed huge cuts to disabled people’s support when they’re already three times more likely to face hunger. A plan to slash payments and rip support from disabled people who most need our collective protection from hunger is cruel and counterproductive. Layla had to stop working due to long-term health conditions and needed to use a food bank when her disability payments were stopped, despite her conditions not changing.

@ChrisMayLA6 Mis-use of a Motability vehicle does not equal benefit fraud.
A claimant can rightfully get #PIP and apply for a Motability car but abuse occurs if the carer or family member does not use the car for the benefit of the claimant. For example, a family member is using the Motability car for commuting every day leaving the claimant without transport.

"Because Pip is a “gateway”, any disabled person who loses the benefit will not only lose that income but other entitlements too, such as free prescriptions & council tax deductions. Most starkly, removing someone’s Pip will mean their unpaid carer losing carer’s allowance – in effect pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once"
