This is long overdue! This was the limit 12 years ago when the adaptations for my son were done. It didn’t cover it then!

Whatever people’s views about the concessions, surely everyone can see the process here is ALL wrong? Third Reading in eight days? A timetable like that diminishes the role of MPs in getting this legislation right, shuts out disabled people and puts too many at risk.

“If we can afford not to have a wealth tax, not to equalise capital gains, or draw on the excess profits of corporate greed; then we can afford PIP for a disabled person.” Labour MP Rachael Maskell gave a passionate and emotive speech at the welfare bill debate in commons this

Removing Clause 5 still leaves Schedule 2 in… which applies the 4 points PIP eligibility changes to Northern Ireland. It’s almost as if they haven’t thought this through…

I’ve been watching the welfare bill debate .. my faith slowly restored by these passionate MPs speaking up and voting NO. Surely there’s no option but to #pullthebill #wewillremember #voteno

#pullthebill I hope every single #NorthEast Mp will #voteNO. The NorthEast is one of the top 3 regions disproportionately affected by the bill which is being rushed through. How can those responsible for legislation Vote 4 a #hotchpotchbill Ian Lavery thank you 4 standing up

The Government’s passing of their benefit cuts agenda shows the deep disdain for Disabled people. Despite attempts to silence us, through our collective campaigning, we made them drop billions of cuts, and we will continue to resist this disastrous bill.

🚨PLEASE SHARE WIDELY🚨 Today, MPs will vote on cutting £3,000 a year from 750,000 low-income sick and disabled people deemed too ill to work. That’s a £2 BILLION cut. This has had hardly any media coverage. And the Government snuck out the Impact Assessment only last night.

Every Disabled organisation is against this bill. Slashing the Universal Credit health element in half, pushing more Disabled people is unconscionable - especially when the Government could easily tax the rich. ❌MPs must vote against the bill today! #BinUCBill
