Belated birthday wishes

Over 300 people demonstrated in Norwich against the disability cuts. Clive Lewis MP spoke and reaffirmed his intention to vote against the cuts.
Thanks to everyone who attended and to the organisers from DPAC Norfolk

Definitely agree with you there Reece!

Thank you for opposing this

Here’s the full letter to Keir Starmer from MPs - they are both new intake and veterans and from the left and right of the party

“Without a change of direction, the Green Paper will be impossible to support”

Disability benefit cuts to hit 700,000 families already in poverty, DWP forecasts show Exclusive: Internal government forecasts obtained by the Guardian reveal ‘truly shocking’ effects of planned cuts

www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Below is what labour should be listening to.
A response of we need to make changes faster means they are not getting the message.

Where is all the empathy for people having their benefits slashed? Empathy seems to be in short supply, in politics given the Labour government's record so far. So where is our anger? Asks Keetie Roelen.

Our political leaders must connect with the suffering of others if we are ever to change the path we are currently on

‘Disability, Illness and Impairment are the Norms of Human History – Living Through This Labour Government’s Benefits Cuts Is Brutal’ Cutting disability benefits will do nothing but heighten the scapegoating of disabled people once again – how can a Labour Government introduce such a punitive measure? Penny Pepper asks

Image is on a blue background with purple & blue text The DWP Survey on how recipients are spending their pip money is being sent out So how should you respond? Option A: The DWP have no legal right to this information and you have no legal obligation to provide them with this information. Their aim is to further stigmatise disability benefits and invalidate disabled people’s experiences Option B: Respond with Opposition Respond with a letter of opposition highlighting the injustices of the proposed changes and their injustices Remember; give no information on how you spend your personal independence payments

#PIP

The vile DWP are sending out a toxic survey on how disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money

DWP have no legal right to ask this information & you have no legal obligation to respond to this survey

Or you can send a letter of opposition about the proposed changes (cuts to pip)

Abstentions are not support for disabled constituents. This is so wrong from Labour. Time to stand up for your constituents & say so! It’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

Proof from a foi from the DWP! Proof of the lies being spewed by Kendall, Rerves and Starmer. This is not what we voted for

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.

The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

Ill and disabled people will be made ‘invisible’ by UK benefit cuts, say experts

Hands off our NHS! This is NOT the change we voted for @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
Benefit cuts plus the watered down Right to die proposals feel like legalised slaughter of disabled people! This is appalling

Exactly !

Straight out of Putin’s playbook

How does Trump tariff chaos compare to previous market crashes? What's happening today is being triggered by policy alone and policy driven by one man, Donald Trump.

Trillions of dollars have been wiped from global stock markets

As a shrink, I see the #DisabilityBenefits cuts hit like a tsunami: suicidal ideation up, hope drowned. £5.5bn saved on paper, but the human cost? Unaccountable. This proposed policy is stoppable - please write to your MP today. #WelfareNotWarfare

The conversation around proposed benefit cuts continues. They must be opposed!!
Disability Rights UK have a page containing information & resources regarding the green paper plan on benefit cuts and how people can get involved in responding!

Well done Trump !! 🤬

Labour's 'punitive' disability benefits cuts won’t work, says Andy Burnham The Mayor of Greater Manchester accused Labour of pandering to 'certain newspapers'

How’s that working for Trump supporters?

The U.K. cannot continue to pretend it can make a “deal” with these people.

Being complicit in the murder of UK citizens is not a good look for Starmer's Labour ...
