'This is about dignity for disabled people which is why so many of us feel so strongly about this' Labour MP Rachael Maskell tells #BBCBreakfast 'loads more' MPs have told her they will support her amendment to block the government's welfare reforms

Thank you @RachaelMaskell When you said disabled people's lives are precious, I sobbed with relief. The Government choosing to terrify, impoverish and harm chronically sick, disabled people and their unpaid carers is indefensible. We need a REAL Labour prime minister who cares

Why is a labour government trying to harm the disabled? We all voted for them thinking they’d help the disabled. Why would anyone sane vote labour again when they’re back stabbing liars? Any MP who doesn’t vote against this policy is stained for the rest of their careers!

The pip gives me independence it helps me pay for carers gardeners all the things I can’t do for myself without it I’d be begging others

How far away are we from politicians deciding that the long term ill and/or disabled don't contribute to society so do not deserve support? I think not as far away as you believe 🤬

She’s so right But at this point, with all the warnings the government has had, it’s shown it’s not interested in pausing or listening to disabled people. The only way they will is if the bill fails

PIP is an in and out of work benefit. Why is it being touted that removing eligibility for PIP will help people back into work. The bill needs pulling and a full consultation carried out #TakingThePIP

hopefully the bill fails

its pretty simple

Yes 💯 this has been all about how those ‘at the top’ value our worth & is a vote on humanity principles. Never have I felt so victimised as an epileptic who works full time & faced discrimination but thought support would be there if needed without my husbands help
