If youโ€™re a Labour MP reading this:
Silence is not neutrality.
Abstaining is not harmless.
A no-show on this vote is a betrayal of disabled people, carers & families.
You were elected to fight injustice
nows the time to prove it.

Why the UK is a two-tier society where money wields power Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud up to nine times higher than benefit fraud.

Laws against the rich are not always enforced.

Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers.

It is class war

Silence is complicity.

Abstaining is not neutral, itโ€™s siding with injustice.

If you donโ€™t vote against Starmerโ€™s assault on disabled people & carers, youโ€™re endorsing it.

History will remember your silence.

Abstentions are not support for disabled constituents. This is so wrong from Labour. Time to stand up for your constituents & say so! Itโ€™s simply appalling by a so called Labour Party. Vote against these appalling cuts! @ascws.bsky.social @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social @inclusionlondon.bsky.social

Councils and NHS could face millions in extra costs due to disability benefit cuts Government plans for Pip cuts will drive up costs for local authority social care services and NHS, campaigners warn

โ€œThe chair of the LGAs community wellbeing board said: โ€œA reduction in Pip could mean lower individual contributions & therefore higher LA contributions. We are still working to further understand the impact of the welfare reforms on ASC charging.โ€

Take Action - Write to Your MP Today Urge your MP to protect carers and disabled people from devastating welfare benefit cuts. Use our simple tool to write your MP in minutes.

The proposed welfare cuts will devastate unpaid carers too!

Many rely on Carerโ€™s Allowance (already one of the lowest benefits) to survive while providing essential, unpaid care.

Carers must not be abandoned! ๐Ÿ’œโœŠ๐Ÿ‘Š
