Disabled people are being let down by our benefits system. Life costs more if you're disabled. Disability benefits are a lifeline meant to help address this. The government must get its administration right. Because disabled people are paying the price. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

One of the many things I love about this part of the world is how the past never seems very far away, with time slips around every corner. I must admit to a little 'pinch me' moment when I saw this view at the canal basin in Whaley Bridge; it felt like I’d suddenly tumbled back to the 1800s. It certainly didn't take much imagination to hear the grand Transhipment Warehouse still echoing with the bangs and clangs of goods being loaded onto boats on the Peak Forest Canal.

1) "It should only be for people registered disabled" How often we #disabled hear this refrain from people wanting to withdraw or limit our access to help. Well get this: there is no national disabled register. There is no government or compulsory list.

How to deal with the poor as the elite: 🍰Marie Antoinette, 1700s: "Let them eat cake!" 💉Lord Falconer, 2025: "Let them die!" According to Lord Falconer, the assisted suicide Bill sponsor, being poor would be a good enough reason for the state to give you an assisted suicide!

Many terminally-ill people would feel “duress” and “pressure” to choose an assisted suicide if it is legalised, because of the lack of funding for the NHS, palliative care and social care services, a disabled activist has told MPs and peers. disabilitynewsservice.com/health-and-car…

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Labour.

MPs will this week vote on a £2 BILLION cut to disability benefits. 750,000 people will lose £3,000 a year. This includes people who can’t use their hands, need help to eat or drink and have debilitating incontinence. My Amendment would stop this cut. Ask your MP to back it.

I have put my name to this reasoned amendment that declines to pass the government’s welfare reforms. Even if the promised changes are made, over 400,000 disabled people will be denied PIP from next year, even though they would currently qualify. The bill should be withdrawn.

Tonight MPs have tabled a reasoned amendment on behalf of disabled people who have yet to have agency in this process. It is time their voices were heard. It is backed by 138 organisations @PippaCrerar @guardian

No “concessions” on disability benefit cuts will make them more “palatable” to those who will still suffer as a result. Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is always inhumane and unjust. It costs lives. MPs can't be expected to sit by and allow this to happen.

This is in no way an ‘olive branch’ - it still strips disabled people on PIP of the vital support they currently get. Delaying poverty by a few weeks will still see so many disabled people thrown into poverty. This is nowhere near the scale of change that MPs are looking for.
Pippa Crerar@PippaCrerar

EXCL: Ministers to offer mutinous Labour MPs an olive branch on government’s welfare plans to help avert major rebellion in crucial vote early next month. 1/ Hundreds of thousands of people who will no longer qualify for Pip will continue to receive payments for 13 weeks 2/ The sickest benefit will automatically get higher rate of universal credit and not have to go through reassessments 3/ The “right to work” scheme for those on health and disability benefits will be introduced at same time as bill so welfare recipients can try to return to work without risking losing their entitlements. But with Rachel Reeves ruling out U-turn on disability benefit cuts & government aides insisting there will be no substantial change to bill, will it be enough?

It's very simple maths: if you take away disability benefits under the claim of trying to get disabled people into work, but at the same time you're removing support and funding to support disabled people in work, then what you actually want is for disabled people to die.

Now is the perfect time to make a ton of noise about welfare cuts. After the local elections MP's are starting to worry it will cost them. And word is Liz Kendall doesn't like it and wants to try pretend the public really wants the cuts to go ahead. Keep banging them drums. ✊

Wes Streeting is asked about scrapping the universal winter fuel allowance & cutting disability benefits & he says politics is about choices. Yes Wes it is, and you've chosen to target pensioners & disabled people rather than the super rich #trevorphillips

Labour ministers forcing through cuts to disabled people’s benefits just don’t get it. It’s a disastrous policy that will harm hundreds of thousands of vulnerable poor people. It’s morally, socially, politically and electorally a disaster. Just drop it. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
