"The Government needs to take a more unifying path... there is genuine, deep anxiety about these proposals." Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham urges the Government to listen to Labour MPs who oppose proposed welfare cuts. #Newsnight

The Government is led by a man who is clearly in the wrong political party.

I wish more MP's, mayors and other people in charge would listen to the people of this country and leave welfare alone and tax the rich who can afford it without going without food, heat and suffering. How does this not make sense?

@vicderbyshire I agree @AndyBurnhamGM and urge Government call a time out, and embrace reform that pivots DWP to a lived experience informed Social Security Department providing just that, plus enables independent living, sets the bar for vulnerable customer support and embraces a Duty Of Care.

Kendall and Starmer's planned lethal cuts to disability benefits MUST be stopped. They would plunge hundreds of thousands of disabled and vulnerable people into poverty, homelessness, loss of carers, despair and death. We need a Wealth Tax instead. #TakingThePIP

There does need to be reform of welfare but this Bill is poorly drafted and will hit the low hanging fruit those genuinely in need. Badenoch has mooted supporting the Bill which is very disappointing.

There is a bigger genuine deep anxiety for those of us on welfare, our lives depend on it theirs doesn't.

Andy Burnham, the big name behind the grooming gangs cover up!

This Andy Burnham?

Andy Burnham is in a different class to that cruel robotic dictator that's running the country. There's no comparison. Burnham is Labour through and through - Starmer a red Tory.
