New: Roughly 1,325,250 people (45.8%) of PIP Daily Living component recipients will lose their benefit if the #GreenPaper proposals progress. The average annual loss would be c.ยฃ4,000, with many losing all support despite significant functional impairments. (FOI: ๐ Martin Bonner) #WelfareNotWarfare

Disability benefits arenโt โextraโ money. Theyโre the bare minimum to survive in a world that disables usโthrough poverty, inaccessibility, and neglect. Cutting them isnโt reform. Itโs state-sanctioned harm. Please support us. #DisabilityBenefits #WelfareNotWorkfare

You don't think that the tories decimating the nhs has got anything to do with it?

Of course they do and there are plenty who should currently have that protection but sadly don't. It might help if you explain why you seem to think that it is too easy to claim?

The fact that two prominent Labour MPs used the pocket money analogy sadly indicates that this is actually part of some official Labour briefing on how to defend these cuts. Just astonishing how appallingly bad #Labour are. So out of touch ๐

No Labour MP can claim moral ground while backing Liz Kendallโs plan to punish disabled people already deemed unfit for work. No impact assessment. No justification. Just cruelty dressed as reform.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
โBetrayingโ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else.
Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits.
I wonder if they are related?

It sadly won't be long before the gammons come crawling over to troll and create another cesspit of toxicity. Hope I'm wrong though.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.
Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.
This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.
