Angela Rayner says that Labour MPs who rebel against the Welfare Bill will lose the whip There are 403 Labour MPs Any Labour MP who votes for withdrawing PIP support from the disabled as outlined in this welfare bill is an absolute disgrace And even worse than every

TW++ DWP Think folk are totally not realising how bad the ‘severe condition’ criteria for UC Health are. If you look at the criteria plus the estimate only 200,000 out of 1.9 million currently in LCWRA, it’s pretty much only people dying soon or with no functioning from birth.

New Impact Assessment: “No one will lose PIP without reassessment by a trained healthcare professional.” Sounds reassuring but we’ve seen the data. DWP “health profs” ARE NOT neutral. Their judgements are shaped by targets, pressure, and poor understanding of many disabilities.

Ministers are secretly considering means-testing PIP, DWP admits, despite pledge in green paper #DWP #PIP #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP disabilitynewsservice.com/ministers-are-…

Reposting this one again in the light of Angela Rayner’s words in Parliament yesterday. On today’s Hall of Shame is Angela Rayner, who refused to rule out punishing Labour MPs who vote against disability benefits cuts. In Parliament yesterday, she defended the government’s to

Some actual facts: • France has 25% of their population classed as disabled. • 30% of the Spanish population is disabled. • 30% of the German population is disabled. • In the U.K. its 24%. • The European average is 27%. euronews.com/health/2024/04… consilium.europa.eu/en/infographic…

Labour ministers are considering whether to start means-testing personal independence payment, which is likely to cut billions of pounds a year more from benefits spending, new information secured from #DWP has revealed. #WelfareNotWarfare #PIP disabilitynewsservice.com/ministers-are-…

If enough Labour MPs rebel & vote against the #DisabilityBenefits cuts & are suspended, they could lose their majority for all future votes.

'We disagree on this point' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy tells #BBCBreakfast only a 'handful' of Labour MPs have spoken to her about government plans to cut disability benefits, after Labour MP Vicky Foxcroft resigned as a whip over the issue

Somewhat strange to hear Nick Robinson haranguing an NHS Consultant for being on “over £100,000” and claiming to channel the feelings of ordinary people. His salary in 2024 was between £345,000 - £349,000. For presenting radio programs. Which never saved anyone’s life?

But if a disabled person needs time to rest we’re lazy. Imagine a job getting dressed up to watch a race 🫠

This Assisted Dying Amendment was just voted down: Amendment to mean someone substantially motivated by feelings of being a burden, a mental disorder, a disability, financial considerations, lack of access to treatment, or suicidal ideation – would not qualify for assisted dying

I’ve been making my way through the Welfare Reform Bill and this on the gov.uk website is genuinely disgusting. Receiving a decent disability benefits rate “encourages sickness”, does it? Funny, I thought it just enabled severely ill and disabled people to eat.

PIP is not a luxury. It's a lifeline. In Westminster Hall this week, I shared moving stories from Torbay residents and urged ministers to stop confusing PIP with employment support. Cutting it would hit the most vulnerable. You can watch my speech on this by going to:

The irony of #Israel protesting that Iran’s bombing of a hospital is immoral! Shall we list the hospitals bombed in #Gaza for you #Netanyahu?

Trying to escape his neighbours?

#r4today #DisabilityBenefits #TakingThePIP BBC News 20/6/25 They should’ve ripped Lisa Nandy to bits with quotes When she said they were “protecting people who will never be able to work” The interviewer should’ve said “That’s a lie, you’re taking PIP from pensioners!”

Going to govt re #DisabilityBenefits Image: wheelchair user symbol decorated with slogan ‘PIP is my lifeline - don’t cut it’ & red paint to represent blood. Message in card ‘If you take away my PIP I might as well die. Is that what you want?’ + list of uses of PIP on card front.
