Politics is about choices. Instead of implementing a wealth tax, this government is choosing to balance its books on the backs of people on welfare in general and the disabled in the particular.

They are doing the same thing in NZ where I live. It’s heartless and shameful. Embarrassing.

I don't normally agree with Diane but I make her 100% right this time.

The most significant and sustained racial and sexual violence in Britain post war and your party continues to racistly and misogynistically victimise rape survivors and deny them proper justice.

Today I asked the Secretary of State if she really believes it is fairer to balance the books on the backs of disabled people and the poor, rather than introduce a wealth tax on the very richest people in our society?

The Government should not be balancing the books on the backs of the poor and disabled. On @lbc I called for a wealth tax instead. A wealth tax of just 2% on assets over £10 million would raise £24 BILLION per year. Let's tax extreme wealth, not punish the poorest.

I think it's cruel and callous for the Government to be trying to balance its books on the backs of some of the most vulnerable. I’d urge any Labour MP who is concerned about this to vote against cutting support for disabled people.

A Labour government should never try to balance the books on the backs of disabled people. My question to the Prime Minister at #PMQs today.

BBC News, "It is a political decision" Ellie Chowns, "Instead of balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and the disabled" "She could make the choice to increase taxes on the very wealthy in society" "A 2% tax on assets over £10m would raise £24 billion" "Equalising tax on investment income and on earned income would raise about £12 billion" "Why isn't the Chancellor making those choices?"

Liz Kendall says the cost of benefits has to be brought down in order to get the public finances on a more sustainable course. Politics is about choices. Labour could target the super rich with a wealth tax. Instead they're targeting people with disabilities.

The Government should not be balancing the books on the backs of the poor and disabled. It should be making the wealthiest pay through a wealth tax. The Government must drop this cruel proposal - or it will face the mother of all rebellions.

We are seeing more and more lies being told about disabled people. There is hardly any fraud in the benefits paid to disabled people. We need to challenge the scapegoating of disabled people - and fight for a wealth tax instead. Sign my petition today.

"Billions of pounds worth of cuts to welfare benfits and other govt spending are being drafted..." The Labour govt could introduce a wealth tax targeting the super rich & billionaires. Instead they're choosing to target the sick & disabled people.

My question on the 'morality' of welfare cuts at #PMQs. Cutting disability benefits isn't a moral crusade. It's a political choice to balance the books on backs of some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society.

Politics is about choices. The Tories' choices crashed the economy. They chose to balance the books on the back of working people. They chose sticking plaster politics. They chose to let our public services to crumble. At this Budget, Labour will choose investment over decline.

We need to be frank about why disability benefit cuts are being rushed through Parliament. It is not about genuine welfare reform but saving money, balancing the books on the backs of the sick and disabled.

Cutting disabled people's benefits isn't about helping them into employment, it is about balancing the books on their backs. Ministers' talk of getting disabled people into work is a fig leaf.

Why is impoverishing young and disabled people to the tune of £5 billion a higher priority for the Government than introducing a wealth tax? 👇
