‘We will do everything in our power to protect the most vulnerable’ i.stv.tv/4209vnN

Politics is about choices and now is the time for the UK Government to choose whether disabled lives matter. The @DEScotweets CEO has today responded in an open letter to the Prime Minister, regarding the UK Government's Spring Statement yesterday.

Huge cuts to disability benefits were announced this month. And the government’s own impact assessment confirms just how devastating these changes would be. James Taylor, our executive director, joined Sky News this week to highlight this ⬇️

Was a pleasure to attend the Disability Journalism Forum Conference at Sky Studios in London a few weeks ago, representing both the DJF & The Ability Group in Sport (TAGS)!

How the F will cuts change behaviour when it’s about experiencing disability. What are we supposed to do, not act disabled while still trying to live in a world that isn’t designed for us in any way? How can this be real? How can a Prime Minister say this? WTAF.

It might have been SLB Playoff finals day on Sunday, but I was in Worcester to work the British Wheelchair Basketball Finals alongside Cazzyb and Dylan Cummings. An incredible event and an honour to be part of it. Great to work for Hannah Shaw one last time. 📸: Mansoor Ahmed

❌ Disabled people risk being pushed into poverty by changes to the benefits system designed to support them. ✂ Cuts to disability benefits won’t just reduce income. They’ll take away independence, stability, and dignity. Rose is right. We need a system that lifts people up.

Haven’t seen Adam Pacitti in many years but I hope he realises how much of a positive impact he’s had on me and many others. An incredibly kind and genuine guy. Best of luck in the future. Thank you

So far the government has made it harder for disabled people to live but easier for them to die. Hope you’re all proud of yourselves. #AssistedDyingBill

Just to be clear PIP is not an out of work benefit. It is fundamental to understand the absolute basics when we reform the welfare system

I spent all day yesterday carefully going through 83 pages of data and 38,041 words about how a system that’s supposed to support disabled people in work is systematically failing them. All while the government says it wants more disabled people in work. #AccessToWorkCollective

🚨 Reminder: cuts to disability benefits affect everyone. You might not need disability benefits today. Or tomorrow. But you can become disabled at any time and find yourself in need of a financial safety net.

This is appalling

This also punishes disabled people and people with long term conditions who may not be allowed to drive and less able to use public transport. x.com/Danwhite1972/s…
