🙊 The City's Labour MP, #AndrewPakesMP, who's been very quietl on the issue if disability benefit cuts, did however tell local media, "It’s unaffordable to have a welfare system which doubles to £70 billion in the coming years."

🗣️ #AndrewPakesMP has previously said the welfare system is "broken" and needs reform, and in March this year, speaking specifically about the #WelfareReformAct, claimed that "fairness is also at the heart of these reforms."
