The governmentโs concessions will leave those who become disabled in the future with even less support than today.
A third of disabled people are already in poverty. We cannot allow this to grow.

In sharing her story, @rachelcdailey.bsky.social has given a great example of how cuts to #disabilitybenefits will stop people from being able to work and see them lose everything theyโve worked for until now. Whereโs the morality in that Starmer?
