Shameless welfare cuts are a betrayal of Labour voters | Letters Letters: Readers express their dismay at Rachel Reeves’s spring statement, with some lifelong party members feeling no longer able to support it

“A year ago, Frances Ryan asked: What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? That is just one of the questions that many of us are beginning to ask.”

Love this article - you'll all have heard the pandemonium when small villages were told they were going to be overrun with foreign asylum seekers 😱😱

What did all that amount to? Oh, a whole load of no problems at all. Shocker.

‘I can’t sleep, I’m so scared’: disabled people face benefit cuts domino effect Three people tell how knock-on impact of losing Pip on carer’s allowance and other benefits will affect their families

“I can’t sleep, I’m so scared.”

My report in tomorrow’s Guardian on the disability benefit cuts “domino effect”: losing PIP will see unpaid carers lose their benefits too - pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We condemn the reported harassment of KCL staff.

We will continue to defend academic freedom and the right to peaceful activism without intimidation.

Elon Musk’s mass government cuts could make private companies millions Defense and tech firms – including Musk’s own – await potential contracts as Doge decimates US agencies

‘Carpetbagging’ was a pejorative term for vulture capitalists who bought property cheaply in the defeated US Southern states. (They carried contracts around in bags made of carpet material). Today, their successors gather around Trump & Musk for the 🇺🇸 sell off.

The BBC just described Trump’s plans for Gaza as “surprising and bold”. Failing again. So badly.

Happy to be supporting Rhiannon Lockley @illdoitanyway.bsky.social for VP.

I just voted in the @ucu.org.uk elections, and want to encourage everyone to vote for @illdoitanyway.bsky.social and Deepa Driver especially.

UCU has so many challenges and they believe in real democracy, listening to members, and a positive agenda to raise pay and conditions. 🧵

Ever since we were slapped with punitive deductions in January 2022, it’s been our aim to turn our experience of impoverishing intimidation into freedom from employer detriment for everyone.

As a lone parent I’m also quite concerned that using a GS brief to frame centralised survey, means design does not seek to consider

-Care
-Disabling conditions
-Precarity
-Workload

as barriers to union participation. As a rep these are key challenges presented to us by members.

Our members have given a clear message, cuts this way is not the way forward. They want a more democratic governance of their university, reasonable workloads, and most importantly, to stop this devastating approach to HE as a business.
