We are holding an online protest to support the People’s Assembly protest on 7th June from 12pm onwards on all our platforms. The aim is to post as much as we can about disability rights and the cuts using the hashtags #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP #StopTheCuts #TaxTheRich

People talk about “benefits culture” like it’s some scam. You know what the real scandal is? That you have to fight, cry, collapse and prove you’re disabled again and again just to survive. Labour were supposed to be better, not worse. #TakingThePIP

Scrutinising bank accounts and intermittently zoning in with demands on why someone spent money on something is a known tactic of ‘coercive control’.

The DWP is 'Taking The PIP' - and a new campaign wants you to fight back TakingThePIP demands Labour's inhumane DWP benefits cuts, which would destroy the lives of disabled people, are scrapped - & it's making waves. Rachel Charlton-Dailey reports #TakingThePIP thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

📢 Stephen Timms MP's dual role as Minister for Social Security & Disability creates a HUGE conflict of interest. We demand a DEDICATED Minister for Disabled People is appointed! 16M disabled people in the #UK deserve a focused voice. Sign now! #pwME chng.it/pKrHbcjcwB

Ever since #DisabilityRebellion came into existence, some have demanded that I tone down the messaging because they believe we can “both-sides” the disability benefit cuts and they’re worried about offending the offenders. Here’s the thing: you can’t “both-sides” this and be

Globally, the XFG.* variant is showing a strong growth advantage of 6% per day (42% per week) over the LP.8.1.* variant. That predicts a crossover in early June. 🧵

The highest frequencies of XFG.* have been reported from Bahrain and India, up to 50%. It has also shown sustained growth in the US, UK and Spain, to 15-20%. 🧵

Ask your MP how the government is going to fund all the extra social care provision that will be needed when they remove PIP, and therefore Carers Allowance, from disabled people and their carers. #TakingThePip

I have come to the conclusion that our government view clinically vulnerable as disposable. They don’t want to even protect many of us with #vaccines or antivirals. We are also taxpayers but there is no care about preventions or clean air. Five years of campaigning.

The “hard choices” should be things like “How much do we tax billionaires?”, etc… Not “How many disabled people can we get away with killing”

The circumstances are awful and the length of time it has taken to get answers has been far too long, but after 8 long years Joy Dove's bravery and courage, overcoming too many hurdles and barriers, has led to #Justice4Jodey, proving DWP were to blame. 💗 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Jodey Whiting - a 42 year old disabled mum - died in 2017, leaving a note saying she had no food money. Now, an inquest has ruled Jodey killed herself after her benefits were “mistakenly stopped by the DWP.” Thoughts to Jodey’s mum who fought for justice. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

No amount of trying harder is going to help most disabled people. Many disabilities are permanent, no matter how hard you try. Pushing harder can actually make you worse and disable you further. We can’t just try harder. Sometimes it is what it is.

Britain & Norway found oil in the north sea at roughly the same time. Both countries used the same method to extract the oil, a combination of state and private funding. Norway invested in the welfare state, education, healthcare. It raised living standards in the country to 1/5

As billions are being spent on new nuclear weapons, while support for disabled people and pensioners is being slashed and so many children are growing up in poverty, let's remember the powerful words of Tony Benn:

Dear Sir Stephen Timms, just last year you were the chair of the Work & Pensions Committee. W&PC published a report arguing for 'further levels of support' in UC HE and PIP. There was a clear argument that UC HE and PIP are too low to meet people's needs. What's changed?
