"The ME Association said that Pip’s existing “majority of the time” rule – which says a claimant must be unable to do an activity more than half the time to qualify – would compound the discrimination against women."

The stark reality of being an autistic person in the workplace is horrible

The robotic and arguably capitalist way that our workplaces operate fails to accommodate autism - and autistic people are being failed

Starmer says Labour was elected to change what is broken. Nowhere in the Labour manifesto did it say welfare cuts to the sick & disabled. Starmer is a LIAR!! 1000s wouldn’t of voted Labour if it was in the manifesto! #starmer #LIAR #Pip #WelfareReforms #50kChildrenAddedToPoverty #WeDidntVoteForThis

At least 80 Labour MPs are supporting a new effort to block the welfare reforms. Well done to those MPs that actually care & recognise that the disabled are societies most vulnerable. Shame on starmer & kendall. #Labour #Pip #WelfareReforms #AttackingTheVulnerable #LizKendall #Starmer #ShameOnYou

🚨‼️#UKgov ’s promise of extra £1bn to help #disabled people into work isn’t matched by new money from Treasury, casting doubts on their ability to deliver divisive #welfarereforms ⬇️

“Reform” is a LIE

Tory #welfarereforms are literally killing the poorest & weakest in Britain. Where's the outrage? Where are the prosecutions? #Dispatches

The proposed #WelfareReforms aren't 'unpopular'.

They will cause distress, destitution and/or death in the disabled community.

I don't care why MPs vote against it (lose votes/anti-Labour), I'd just prefer them to vote against due to the threat of harm to human beings 🤷‍♀️

Concerns such as 'how am I supposed to hold down a job when I don't know when my symptoms will flare up' and 'how will my family cope without PIP, I can barely make ends meet now'

Keep an eye on our socials and we will keep you updated with the latest." #PIP #WelfareReforms

Fundamentally, the proposed changes will still mean thousands of people being driven into poverty. This will include many people with an Inflammatory Neuropathy.
