We shouldn’t cut support for disabled people - we should tax the ultra-wealthy instead. Over 65,000 people have signed my petition for wealth taxes, not cuts - as part of our campaign to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts. Sign here 👇 change.org/p/tax-wealth-d…

#TakingThePIP TakingThePIP Phab UK Not a usual post for me, especially since becoming a ceo for Phab but everyone is so concerned about these cuts we all need to get active. Hopefully see you there.

The new UC proposals treat illness like it’s temporary, linear, and neatly resolved. But chronic pain, psychosis, and neuroimmune illness don’t heal on cue. This isn’t a system that misunderstands disability. It’s one that’s designed to exclude it. #WelfareNotWarfare

The Birmingham binworkers are understandably on strike because 150 of them will lose £8,000 a year. However, the cuts to disability benefit could mean 900,000 disabled people losing an even bigger £9,000-10,700 a year. #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP citizensadvice.org.uk/policy/publica…

ScouseDogMum 🐾 Erin Ekins (she/her) My MP, Lee Pitcher MP, is holding a public meeting next week on the proposed PIP cuts. It is my intention to attend, if my health allows. I’ll take along a copy of my 22 page consultation response so I can refer to it. #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePip #DisabilityBenefits

The Government claims their cuts, plunging at least 350,000 Disabled people into poverty, will help us 'get into work' But what about the deeply inaccessible nature of employment for those who can work, as it stands? Mikey from DR UK writes for Big Issue bigissue.com/opinion/labour…

Disabled public figures behind a new campaign to persuade the government to back down on its “inhumane and catastrophic” plans to cut billions of pounds from disability benefits say they are overwhelmed by the response since its launch. disabilitynewsservice.com/overwhelming-r…

We were elected to put our arm around the country - not to impose the deepest cuts since George Osborne. These swingeing cuts won’t create jobs - they’ll create poverty. It’s time to pause: withdraw the cuts and work with disabled people to redesign the welfare system.

DWP's Liz Kendall to face Labour MPs at PLP meeting as govt braces for benefits revolt. “The PLP has a declining number of true believers. She’ll be met by a mix of distant silence, lots of searching questions, and a sense of bewilderment.” mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

'The deep dissatisfaction among Labour MPs with the direction and performance of the govt, has created a febrile atmosphere... More than any other issue, parliamentary discontent has crystallised over the govt’s £5bn of welfare cuts.' theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
