SEVERE CONDITION CRITERIA The Green Paper is diminished, but please lobby against the ‘severe condition criteria’—a hugely dangerous and discriminatory change to UC health rules that would drastically increase new claimants’ financial and psychological precarity. #TakingThePIP

BREAKING: Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds confronted by young PIP claimants over deadly disability cuts. The Labour Party would rather plunge hundreds of thousands of disabled people into poverty than tax wealth. Time to stop #TakingThePIP, & make the super-rich #PayUp. Green New Deal Rising

A two-tier PIP and UC system will generate hardship for many and create societal divisions. I asked the Secretary of State to withdraw this bill and co-design welfare reform with disabled people's groups. #TakingThePIP #WelfareBill

When… 1 in 5 people on UC and disability benefits used a food bank last month. The Disability price tag is £1,095 a month. The basic rates of UC don’t cover essentials. A #WealthTax could address our deeply unequal society. We must do better than this Bill. #TakingThePIP

It was chaotic, but campaigners today forced the govt to postpone PIP cuts from their welfare bill. I welcome this step forward. However, I voted against the bill due to continued cuts of £billions from the Universal Credit health element. #TakingThePIP #WelfareBill

The govts proposed climbdown for current recipients of PIP and UC health is welcome. But it's just poverty, delayed - poverty postponed - for millions of people in the future. So, for those reasons, I'll be voting against. #TakingThePIP #WelfareBill
