This should be a fantastic opportunity to learn about the tools and the co-production process that created it.

MPs - Starmer says people too ill to work will be โ€œprotected.โ€ But that protection already existsโ€”itโ€™s called LCWRA. Labourโ€™s plan? Halve the money. Shrink the group. Strip the support. Donโ€™t fall for the spin. Vote against these dangerous #DisabilityCuts. #WelfareNotWorkfare

I feel physically ill. I just canโ€™t cope with anymore. Rachel Reeves and Labour - you are an absolute disgrace. I canโ€™t support my son alone when his disability benefits are pulled from him. #SpringStatement #Reeves #Labour

๐ŸงตThe welfare cuts announced today mean people donโ€™t know how theyโ€™ll survive. Some fear theyโ€™ll have no choice but to take their own lives.

This government must take responsibility for the impact of the Spring Budget on the mental health crisis. 1/5

Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is not just unfair; itโ€™s cruel. A million disabled people stand to lose vital support, while the wealthiest are protected. This isnโ€™t necessity, itโ€™s a choiceโ€”and itโ€™s the wrong one. #SpringStatement

Reeves is right - the world has changed. So why wonโ€™t she change her strategy to reflect it? Obsession with arbitrary fiscal rules & ruling out wealth taxes is political choice thatโ€™s causing huge pain as well as laying out the welcome mat for populist Reform UK #SpringStatement

Terrified, humiliated: three PIP claimants tell the Canary of their fears over Labour's DWP cuts

The Canary spoke with three disabled people currently getting PIP - and the knock-on effects of Labour's planned cuts will be devastating #WelfareNotWarfare

Rachel Reeves just destroyed disabled people's lives AND public services in one fell swoop Rachel Reeves just destroyed disabled people's lives AND public services in one fell swoop from Canary on 26 March 2025

Rachel Reeves just destroyed disabled people's lives AND public services in one fell swoop

She has marked out the goalposts for a Labour government that has, perhaps irredeemably, now lost its way.

Image 2: A large crowd of protestors gathers outside the Palace of Westminster in London, holding signs and banners calling for better welfare support. One prominent cardboard sign reads, โ€œSTOP SCAPEGOATING USโ€ in colourful letters. People are dressed warmly, some wearing masks, and various flags and banners are visible, including messages like โ€œWelfare Not Warfareโ€ and โ€œCut War Not Welfare.โ€ A historic church building is visible in the background.

At Downing Street to protest the #DisabilityBenefits cuts.

Whatโ€™s being proposed will shatter lives. It will cause preventable anguish, despair, and death. And it targets those already fighting to stay afloat.

Iโ€™m here as silence is not an option. Solidarity always. #WelfareNotWarfare

The law being challenged protects youth and families from the small number of unethical state-licensed mental health professionals who prey on parents and vulnerable youth. These practices are not โ€œtherapy.โ€ They are dangerous and discredited by every major medical association in this country.
