Cutting disability support will push thousands into destitution – hitting Labour areas hardest. It’s morally wrong and politically reckless. Polling shows the public overwhelmingly backs wealth taxes over cuts. Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the burden.

My Mrs loses her PIP. I stop being her carer and the £81.90 per week to look after her. I'll have to go and find work but she'll still require care. So into the Social Care system she'll go and the £1k a week the taxpayer will need to pay to care for her. It's nonsensical drivel.

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

Thank you, Neil. Support means the world. And cutting benefits, the threat alone has caused at least 3 suicides, 2 I’m personally aware of. Labour will never be accountable for the damage they’ve done to disabled people already. Cuts will kill many more

Incentives for inactivity? They just aren’t willing to listen are they. No-one wants to live on meagre benefits far below the national living wage. Those who can’t work still won’t be able to work when they take away the benefits.

Funny Really, who's actually behind this consultative green paper? Look past Ms Reeves, Ms Kendall and Sir Stephen Timms...you'll find the commission for social justice and government "advisor" Sir Iain Duncan Smith... Maybe it's me - but hasn't IDS caused enough pain already?

@johnpringdns Very well said Neil, and a sorely mistaken response from the Minister. PIP *enables* many disabled people to work. Reducing eligibility for PIP & support for carers only pushes 500,000 people into poverty, but perversely hits cash-strapped councils in social care costs.

@NeilForPoole if my PIP benefit is cut, I can't afford safe food for my MCAS & bowel condition, I'll get sicker, need A&E etc If I can't afford my expensive supplements, my M.E, Fibro, EDS has no NHS treatment. I'll need to see GP more, sicker & possibly bedbound.

Starmer reeves Kendall timms don’t care they are drunk on power and targeting the most vulnerable to give rich tech firms a tax cut Labour are now the nasty red tory party and the cabinet is full of grim reapers using us to get elected they stabbing us in the back

The way he talks says it all doesn’t it ‘perverse incentivise’ why talking about removing support from disabled people that will push them into poverty Thanks for trying but that response is just so appalling

Starmer told the @CommonsWorkPen that he is ready to press ahead without an impact assessment. Claims that vast numbers of disabled people won't be pushed into poverty, as forecast by OBR, because they will get jobs! @Keir_Starmer

Then defy the whip and vote against. Let your conscience overcome your fear of upsetting Starmer and his right wing cohort.
