#HandsOffDisabilityBenefits
Today MPs will vote on the amended welfare bill.

MPs who choose to walk through the lobby and support this bill are paving the way for at least 150,000 people to be pulled into poverty.

Here are just 3 reasons why they should oppose this bill from @katieschmuecker.bsky.social 🔽

Please, we all implore MP's to vote against this life destroying Bill 🙏

Labour MP Rachael Maskell close to tears as she 'pleads' with the government to abandon planned welfare cuts

'These Dickensian cuts belong to a different era and a different party', she said

How on earth has it come to this?

We are seeing more and more lies being told about disabled people.

There is hardly any fraud in the benefits paid to disabled people.

We need to challenge the scapegoating of disabled people - and fight for a wealth tax instead.

The current plans to cut PIP are completely unacceptable, which is why I was among the 42 Labour MPs to sign the letter opposing the reforms to benefits as they stand.

My piece to the @bigissue.com on why I cannot support the government’s proposals to cut benefits ⬇️
"We cannot allow Treasury orthodoxy to dictate policy at the expense of our constituents"

Our CEO @pimlicat.bsky.social on why the UK's disability benefits system PIP is deeply flawed.

"It will ask a question like, 'can you walk 200 metres?' Maybe you can if you have MS, but what you can't then do is get out of bed for two days. So you score zero on the PIP form."

"Vulnerable people need more support, not less"

YES, THIS 👇 👇 👇

Why does Starmer, Reeves & Kendall not want to understand that?

The fact that so many Labour MPs appear unable to back their own Government’s plan shows just how painful these cuts are expected to be for people across the UK.

Vulnerable people need more support, not less.

The Government must change course on these flawed proposals before it’s too late.

It was sobering to catch up with Debbie from St Ann's Advice Centre last week.

We discussed the devasting impact that disability benefit cuts would have on our community.

Hearing the harrowing stories of disabled service users underlined why these cuts must be opposed.

The Government should not be cutting support for disabled people.

It should be making the wealthiest pay through a wealth tax.

Join tens of thousands of people and add your name to my call for a wealth tax, not disability cuts.

In Parliament this week, I called for the planned cuts to disability benefits to be scrapped.

We should not be balancing the books on the backs of the poorest. Instead, we should be taxing the wealthiest.

If the Government does not drop its plans, I'll be voting against the cuts.

There is something deeply, deeply wrong if MPs vote to make their own constituents worse off.

I am proud to stand up for the 10,467 people of Blyth and Ashington who claim PIP.

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis

This is how you can help

After reading the Health Equity North report that shows the North East will be disproportionately hit by the proposed cuts and reforms to PIP - I had to add my name to this letter to show support for my constituents, and disabled people across the country.

Today Govt confirmed changes it will make to planned cuts to disability benefits. But Govt will still ask MPs to vote for large, arbitrary cuts to disabled people’s incomes that will increase poverty. The Bill should be opposed. Here’s why. 1/7
