London, UK. 31st October 2016. The Mental Health Resistance Network and Disabled People Against Cuts arrive to protest at the national office of mental health charity Mind in Stratford. Mind failed to mention the effects of welfare reform, sanctions, or benefit-related deaths in its latest five-year strategy and has dropped its support for the long-running court case aimed at forcing the government to make WCA safer for people with mental health conditions. The protesters condemn the secondment of Mind's policy and campaigns manager Tom Pollard to work as a senior policy adviser to the DWP which starts tomorrow and demand the resignation of Mind’s chief executive, Paul Farmer, who came out to speak and argue with the protesters.
