why are we not seeing leading news story's on AOL , like the one where the labour mp resigns over disability payments
Why does AOL not show leading news story's like the Labour mp who has just resigned over the Disability payments , Is AOL being told not to show the news Article by the UK Government to stop British citizen's from commenting , Is it government censorship ??????????

I would be interested to read that story as I am a disabled 63yr old man who has just gone through the process of being moved onto Universal Credit which I had thought came about because I have recently moved to a ground floor flat from the one I had lived in for eight years, the last five as a virtual prisoner after I broke my hip.
I am an intelligent man but it still took two weeks & a lengthy back & forth with a woman who claimed to be from my local jobcentre, so the conversation got increasingly sarcastic from my end over the few days it took until I noticed that I had a payment made into my account.
From my dealings with this system it is obviously new as the parts I had to access & even communicate through are all marked as beta at the top of the screen. I couldn't get it to verify my identity online & ended up having to go for an interview in person.
Subsequently I have received a phone call from the local council about the credit in. My account for my previous flat & asking me if I wanted it paid into my account or have a cheque sent to me. I got a cheque from my previous power supplier in April when I moved out & didn't get to a bank until the end of August. I ended up emailing a screen shot of my bank statement & my account is now £231 richer because of it. That has been my experience of being a disabled man of 63 dealing with the DWP in 2025 under the Labour Party, who I don't vote for, I don't vote tory or libdem either, never have, never will. Been voting the same way since 1979 when I first voted. I've supported the same party since I was a. Five year old & saw Winnie Ewing win the Hamilton bye election in 1967. First met her & had lunch with her when I was 19 & introduced my children to her more than a decade later, she was arguing politics with my uncle who was manning the stall for the local radio station at the Highland games, my uncle & I were directors at the time. My daughter went on to meet her again in 2014. Don't know if my son has met her before she died but he has been living with the daughter of an MSP who is a member of the same party for the last five years?
