Today I pressed the Prime Minister to rule out cuts to disability benefits for those who simply cannot work. Worryingly, he chose not to answer. Disabled people and those who care for them deserve our support and they deserve clarity from this government.

There is hardly any fraud in the disability benefits system. In response to my parliamentary questions, the DWP says just 0.2% of personal independence payment (PIP) spending is due to fraud. Today I called for an end to the scapegoating of disabled people on benefits.

How does cutting disability benefits like PIP help people into work? The government hasn't provided any evidence that it does. In fact, removing PIP may force some disabled people who are currently in employment to drop out of work entirely. Me on BBC Radio 4 Today:

🚨BREAKING Minister for Social Security and Disability, Sir Stephen Timms, faces questions after attending the Muslim Council of Britain’s (MCB) leadership dinner last Monday. Despite Labour ministers assuring Nick Timothy MP in the Commons that the government would uphold the long-standing position of non-engagement with the MCB, Timms, along with three Labour MPs—Naz Shah, Afzal Khan, and Abtisam Mohamed—attended the event. Timms, who previously chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Faith and Society, survived a 2010 attack during a constituency surgery, where he was stabbed twice by Roshonara Choudhry, a young woman influenced by al-Qaeda. This Labour government grows more dodgy by the day. Timms at the MCB dinner in the video.

In the discussion on the review of benefit support for disabled people the Conservative shadow minister used the usual tactics of trying to divide people & stigmatise those claiming social security benefits. I called for this language to be put behind us once and for all.
