With the first reading of the barbaric and unjust disability benefit cuts bill presented in the House today, here is a reminder to disabled people to treat yourselves kindly. It is a stressful and upsetting time for us, so save some grace for yourself. Bydd gryf ❤️ #WelfareNotWarfare

The DWP have rescheduled their consultation on the disability cuts in Cardiff. We will still be protesting as the consultation is still incredibly unfair - with the most controversial proposals STILL not up for discussion! #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP

🚨A welcome Government U-Turn on the winter fuel payment, which they have restored to 7.5 million pensioners. These cuts should never have been proposed in the first place - to save another embarrassment, the Government should reverse their disability benefit cut plans now too.

⚖️ The scales aren’t balanced. The govt is cutting support for disabled people while refusing to tax extreme wealth. After 15 years of austerity, it's time to rebalance our economy—for good. Tax wealth fairly. Invest in people. Protect our future.

Today I took a message to Rachel Reeves at the Treasury: it's time to rebalance the economy. A #WealthTax on multi-millionaires and billionaires would raise £24billion - nearly 5 times as much as the government is trying to save by taking support away from disabled people.

Ministers are silent, but PIP cuts won’t just hurt disabled people — carers will suffer too. PIP is a passport to support like Carer’s Allowance & council tax reductions. Losing it could cost carers thousands a year, pushing families deeper into poverty. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Organisations have warned Chancellor Rachel Reeves against cutting disability benefits as part of welfare reform. Any cuts would have a catastrophic impact and push thousands of disabled people into poverty. Meaningful change will never happen with cuts. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
