This Bill has been brought:
- Without consultation with disabled people
- Without assessment of its impact on health/employment outcomes
- Before the review of the PIP assessment has begun
- Without knowing the outcome of the PIP review
Vote against! @basw-uk.bsky.social
A dark day for the poor, the unbefriended, the challenging to care for, and the unloved. I know this will be true from 40 years in adults social care services.
This should have had proper scrutiny through a royal commission. Poor law, bad outcomes #AssistedDyingBill
Any Questions - focus again on Reform agenda. They have 5 MPs!!!! 5!!! let me say that again FIVE and theyβre being talked up constantly as the next Welsh &UK gvmt. Sign this petition now. We need fair coverage &we need it NOW not over platforming of one party petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Extending WFPs to council tax and rent rebate recipients as well as those on AA/PIP, auto extends it to βknownβ recipients who are either poor sick, frail or disabled. I agree Alan Sugar doesnβt need it!

The Far Right doesn't want another national inquiry into the 83%. Wonder why.
