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.

As it's being sent to HoL as a Money Bill it's staggering to see some MPs (not you 🙏) still claiming this is reform and not cuts. The wording on the front page of the Bill also makes it clear it is entirely about reducing costs.

Thank you. Life's shit enough for the disabled.

Many people are extremely disappointed with Labour. We all expected real change and hope after a decade + of Tory austerity. This what we got, an attack on the most vulnerable in society, pensioners & the disabled & failure to acknowledge genocide in Gaza.

Yes,&going ahead regardless of the human cost,despite condemnation from decentMPs,charities,&the UN. I thought Starmer wanted to renew people’s faith in politics,decency&fairness,where is this Govts empathy,integrity&morals? Starmer is duplicitous,untrustworthy&discriminatory!

Billions for invaders yet Starmer targets the most vulnerable. He’s a bloody disgrace. We need a VONC and a GE.

What is truly concerning is the amount of lies being spread by some of the politicians. This is a nightmare for disabled people, Badenoch is spouting utter drivel, but some will believe it.

It's neoliberalism in action

It's hatred of Disabled people and is a Human Rights crime.

Not to mention that this will result in it costing more in the long term and not just financially. Disabled people are being used as scape goats for 14 years of incompetence under the Tories and now 1 year under #NoIdeaKier and @UKLabour will not be forgiven @Keir_Starmer

And - to boot - 'balancing the books' is a cynical worn out Thatcher con. 'The story of recent decades is not just increasing hardship for those who depend on wages and public services but of state sponsored extravagance for those who own assets.' (K Forrester LRB)
