We can't accept this. And neither should you. Ask your MP to vote against devastating benefit cuts in Parliament before it's too late ⬇️ campaigns.scope.org.uk/page/172856/ac…

Anne Greensmith 💙 Also, currently being overlooked, are incapacitated & disabled students not only losing LCWRA and/or PIP but also DSA support through Student Finance England, and support provided by Disability Support teams in Universities, or Business Schools.

It's always worth reminding yourself that parliaments and government buildings and the WHO headquarters and billionaires all quietly got themselves clean air systems while publicly denying the need for clean air.

All of these examples can be found on the Disability Benefits Consortium website along with a briefing which starts by saying they "oppose all cuts to disability benefits, including PIP, the UC ‘health element’ and contributory disability benefits." disabilitybenefitsconsortium.com/dbc-reports/

Not only can working from home make you happier, for many disabled people it allows them to remain in the workforce It gives them autonomy & independence. Flexibility to attend doctors appts & care for health It’s a crucial accommodation & removing it will harm disabled lives

As a society, as a country, we can't afford this style of government. #TakingThePIP is another "let the bodies pile high" policy. This will sacrifice at least 1/4 million disabled people and their children to poverty. It will save no money — poverty costs. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

🧵 NEW: APPG on Poverty and Inequality's response to the Pathways to Work Green Paper reveals SHOCKING evidence - disabled households face £1,067 extra costs monthly (67% of income) yet government plans devastating cuts that will push 400,000 into poverty. Thread👇#TakingThePIP

🎯 68% of PIP appeals are overturned in favor of disabled people - proving the system already wrongly denies support. Now they want to make it even harder to qualify. This isn't reform, it's institutionalized discrimination. #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePip

Disability benefit cuts will harm hundreds of thousands, MPs warn: 'A disaster on every front' 'it's very clear that if this goes ahead, the wider cost to society will be bigger than any money they save' bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

Financial considerations certainly come into the introduction of Assisted Dying. Blair McDougall MP argues that with the current proposed legislation, amendments would be necessary to protect the most vulnerable from financial incentives undermining their need for care & equality

Today, we handed in over 100,000 petition signatures to 10 Downing Street 📋 It’s a clear message to the government: the cost of cuts is catastrophic ✂️

Can an MP please read out all the organisations that have condemned the #DisabilityCuts during Wednesday’s first debate? I know it’ll take 20 minutes – it’s every single DDPO, charity, and health organisation – but still…

At Department for Work and Pensions event on the Pathways to Work Green Paper but walked out in solidarity with our friends DPAC Northern Ireland They refuse to listen to feedback about the proposals to cut PIP & Universal Credit for disabled people which will have such an impact in NI (1/3)

“If you become disabled before next April, you'll get £13.85 a day to pay for someone to help. If you become disabled on May 1, you'll get £7.14 a day. What was insufficient will become farcical” fleetstreetfox mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

The cruelty towards disabled people comes across as very deliberate, savoured, not a side effect of policy. If you make someone's life unliveable, you're hoping that they won't live. If you do it to a whole demographic, it's institutional violence. Call it what it is: hate crime.

If you excluded disabled people from consultation by accident, you could maybe plead "indirect discrimination". If you refuse to consult, make documents and events inaccessible, don't listen, and refuse to carry out impact assessments, you are discriminating directly, by design.

"While the government looks forward to immediate cost savings that might arise from their welfare proposals, the long term implications will inevitably outweigh these savings, with increased economic, social, community, and health costs."
