Solidarity with disabled people today. I'm deeply concerned about the impact of legalising of assisted suicide, and shocked that this bill can pass whilst nothing is done about the crisis in social care and palliative care #AssistUsToLive End Social Care Disgrace

Our Labour Government must build a National Care Service. We've seen Green Papers, White Papers, visions, consultations - now we need real action. Social care can't be a lottery - it must be free at the point of use, funded fairly, with the wealthiest paying their share.

I will be voting against this. For my constituents and as a matter of conscience. And many other Labour MPs will do so too if the goverment doesn’t think again and drop these cuts.

#DisabilityBenefits It’s important that disabled people try to arrange a constituency meeting to share personal stories of how disability benefit cuts will impact upon you. MPs are collating stories Guidelines for protesting MPs dpac.uk.net/2025/04/guidel…

‘The whole policy is wrong’: rebellion among Labour MPs grows over £5bn benefits cut to people with disabilities. The policy is cruel. Tax the rich. Fuel the rebellion. Insist on seeing your MP face to face. Tell him/her to vote against the bill. theguardian.com/society/2025/a…

I've called on the Government to withdraw its proposed disability support cuts. These changes will impact 3 million families - some losing £12,000 a year. We know this will lead to destitution. No cuts are needed - tax the super-rich instead. theguardian.com/society/2025/a…
