Dear MPs,
Please attend the debate about #DisabilityBenefits in Parliament today and vote against cuts that will cause unbearable suffering and preventable deaths.
Thanks,

There are lots of statistics bandied about from the Spring Statement but this is one of the starkest for me. The government’s own department of Work and Pensions has shown that the benefit cuts for disabled people will push 250,000 people into poverty.

“If the government goes ahead with these cuts, new care homes will to have to be available.”
I spoke to carers about the catastrophic impact of upcoming PIP cuts: when a disabled person loses their benefit, their loved one will lose Carer’s Allowance too. theguardian.com/society/2025…

5 Billion in cuts to ‘welfare’. Nothing, absolutely nothing that can justify this. @UKLabour are reprehensible. They are going to be remembered for being cowardly, servile, weak, vicious & cruel. Please go and support @Dis_PPL_Protest

My inbox is jammed full of disabled folk, many from the mental health community, terrified and thrown into increased despair and worthlessness due to Labour’s refusal to front-end validation and basic human rights. This is not what positive change looks like @Keir_Starmer.

Debbie Abrahams says while many disabled can & want to work, "many others cannot & should receive adequate support", & they are worried about their benefits being cut. She asks the PM to listen to their concerns
The PM says work should be accessible to as many people as possible

Last night’s @C4Dispatches programme was bitterly disappointing 📺
This was a chance to challenge the negative rhetoric on disability benefits. But instead, it felt like another hit job on ill and disabled people 🧵

A Reform MP is locating anxiety, panic disorder + agoraphobia, among other conditions, as signs PIP is open to corruption. I won’t dignify it with an RT, However, to be clear: these conditions can be so disabling suicide feels preferable. Don’t speak of what you don’t understand.

If you're being migrated from ESA to Universal Credit and are asked to provide fit notes or sign a claimant commitment, contact Citizens Advice or a similar as soon as possible. You should be moved directly to something called LCWRA, but the DWP is making errors. Jay X

My heart breaks for all who are not here because of Tory policies over 14 years, and those left behind in grief. It has been unliveable for many. Our inner worlds are directly influenced by the respect we are treated with and our access to the material means to live with dignity.

Labour has won and Jacob Rees-Mogg has gone. If that’s not a cleansing new start, I don’t know what is.

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8
