The cuts to disability support are cruel, immoral and unethical. It’ll make already vulnerable people poorer, less independent and more isolated. After fighting to get rid of the Tories for 14 years, what was the point if Labour are going to do this?

June 26, 2024 at 6:41pm BST The SDLP has said its MPs would be “best placed to deliver change” because they have the strongest relationship with what is expected to be a Labour administration in London.

We need to ask what is really behind the cuts to benefits because it is part of hollowing out big govt. The Sovereign Corporation has arrived.

Interest payments on national debt currently cost £1650/year for every man,woman & child in the UK. How does Eastwood propose raising the cash to halt debt growth against a background of increasing welfare costs & an ageing workforce. Protests are easy solutions,more difficult.

Will you be changing your seating position, Colum? Is it not better to break off links with UK Labour? Is their funding all that significant for your Party?

Labour have cut support for disabled people - and boasted they've made bigger cuts than the Tories. With Labour austerity replacing Tory austerity, what is the point of Westminster?

For all those that say “Labour and the Tories are the same”. The first video is Britain after 12 years of a Labour government. The second is Britain after 14 years of a Tory government. THIS is the difference. The Tories destroy the country, Labour rebuilds it.

Cuts to disability benefits and the winter fuel allowance are driving away Labour voters – and handing the advantage to Reform. The Labour leadership must change course and deliver the real change people are crying out for. From my LBC interview

Working people voted to get rid of the Tories, and a Labour government introduced the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation - but that’s only the beginning. We are ready to chart a new direction for Scotland.

Utterly indefensible. Labour are choosing to cut vital support from vulnerable people. They are also choosing to protect the wealth of the super rich. If this makes you angry, do something about it. Join The Green Party and challenge this Government.

📺 Westminster’s decisions are pushing more and more families into poverty. Yet Keir Starmer and Labour are backing many of the Tories most damaging policies. 🥀 This begs the question, what is the point of Labour?

Labour governments are meant to lift people out of poverty - not push them into it. But that’s what the cuts to disability support will do - with half a million more people forced to rely on food banks. My interview on LBC on why I’m voting against these devastating cuts.

I resigned the Labour whip during Wakefield Council meeting. Whilst speaking in a debate on austerity and welfare cuts, it became clear that the Labour Group are unwilling to genuinely represent the needs and interests of our district. Instead of supporting my motion in demanding an end to austerity, the reversal of all welfare cuts and the proper financing of local government, among other things. Labour Councillors overwhelmingly responded by watering it down, defending or excusing the government's actions and deflecting back onto the Tories and Lib Dems. Yes, criticism of the Tories and Lib Dems is warranted for their involvement in austerity over the last 14 years but, it is a Labour government that is doing it now. If we are not prepared to oppose this government with the same veracity as we did the Tories, then we are nothing more than hypocrites. Putting the current welfare cuts into perspective, they are the fifth largest tranche of cuts since 2010 and the largest since 2015. Essentially meaning that this so-called Labour Government are cutting benefits at higher levels than 9 of the 14 years the Tories were in office. Aditionally, the current disability cuts go further than the Tories were prepared to go to in 2018, as they are 3x larger than the cuts that Ian Duncan Smith resigned over. Whilst there have been other issues within the Labour Group and the wider Party that have influenced my decision, this debate was the final straw. The Labour Group are unwilling to call the government's cuts for what they really are - a continuation of Tory austerity. I was already suspended from the party for voting against the Labour Group's austerity budget which, reduced Council services by £29m, cut 250 jobs and raised Council tax by the maximum. I cannot continue to legitimise a Labour Cabinet which lied about the scale of the job cuts, and tried to decieve residents when u-turning on cuts to libraries and the garden waste services. I cannot remain a member of a political group that conducts itself in this manner, and is willing to stand by whilst the government betrays its own values and the working-class communities it is supposed to represent. Equally, I cannot continue to legitimise a Labour government that has reneged on its manifesto commitments and is attacking the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. This is not the Labour Party I joined, and it is not the Labour Party people voted for. Our district deserves better than Councillors who are putting their own positions and allowances over the needs of our residents. We deserve politicians, at all levels of government, who are honest and will genuinely represent our interests. This decision is not me leaving the Labour Party - it is the Labour Party that has left us. They do not represent working-class communities anymore and I could not look my residents in the eye if I were to continue legitimising the disgraceful choices of this Party. Just to be clear, whilst I have resigned the Labour whip, I will continue to represent Hemsworth, Kinsley, Fitzwilliam, South Hiendley & Felkirk. It will just be from the opposition benches, as an Independent Councillor. Solidarity, Jake

New figures show that 700,000 families already in poverty will be pushed further into it by the disability cuts. This flies in the face of what a Labour government is meant to do. A real Labour way forward is to drop the cuts and tax extreme wealth instead.

Lady in glasses criticises Reform and then Labour #BBCQT "The only thing we hear from Reform are big statements, but there's never a clear plan, on how they are going to do it" "If I applied for a job and said hire me because I'm great, I wouldn't get the job" "In terms of Labour, they're completely missing the point. What Labour have done is completely betrayed the people that have voted for you" "What you've done is given us Tory lite, gone more right wing" "We're saying to you no, go to the left, that's what we want" "Why have Labour targeted the disabled, the poor, the old, all of the vulnerable people"
