DWP employee resigns, claims forced out for sharing political posts on personal Facebook.

Michelle Cochrane, a 45-year-old DWP employee, claims she was forced to resign after sharing political posts on her personal Facebook account. Cochrane, who worked in pensions, shared posts expressing views on immigration and public finances that differed from the government's stance. She faced a disciplinary meeting in August and felt pressured to resign, believing her dismissal was inevitable. Cochrane argues that other colleagues shared political posts without repercussions, highlighting what she sees as unfair treatment.
