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

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
