The Govt wants to cut PIP to "help" disabled people work but Access to Work is in crisis: • 6+ month delays • 20,000 people on wait list (Mar 2025 - up from 5,000 in 2024) • Missed jobs, lost businesses • Rising hardship Cutting PIP won't help. Fixing the system will. #TakingThePIP

CUTTING SUPPORT…deepening injustice Disabled people who are also part of marginalised communities-such as Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ individuals, migrants, or women-often face multiple layers of discrimination #TakingThePIP #DisabilityRebellion #StopTheCuts #WelfareNotWarfare

“The DWP is facing an online “rebellion” over its cuts to both PIP & UC. It comes in the form of a virtual protest on 7 June. And the organiser says that her and her friends are doing it because house-or bed-bound people ‘deserve to have their voices heard, too’.” ✊ www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Andrew Western MP needs to treat his disabled constituents with more respect. “He's DWP. He has unfollowed constituents including former Labour members & cllrs who helped get him elected but dared question him.” - constituent #DisabilityRebellion #StopTheCuts #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP

"It breaks my heart to know so many people in a country as wealthy and developed as UK are experiencing hunger... the reality of these cuts will be parents in disabled families having to skip meals so that they can feed their children." #DisabilityRebellion #WelfaNotWarfare #TakingThePIP

What Rosie Jones says about the #DisabilityBenefits cuts: "Disabled people are scared of what the future holds if there's cuts to disability payments, as they are already not enough to cover life's essentials.” #DisabilityRebellion #StopTheCuts #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP

This is the start of my series naming and shaming MPs who support the #DisabilityBenefits cuts. They must be held to account for their cruelty. They will not be forgiven at the ballot box. #DisabilityRebellion #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare #StopTheCuts

Dear Reform voters, Name one thing that Nigel Farage has built that benefits wider society. One thing he has “changed for good”, as he puts it, during a political career that spans four decades. I’ll wait.

Learning several languages to prepare me for my future in TESOL teaching. I’m learning Spanish (though this is brushing up because I grew up speaking both English and Spanish), Dutch, German, French and Norwegian. It is wild how easy German, Dutch and Norwegian is. They’re so similar to English.

The Truth: In 2024, the UN condemned the UK for grave, systematic violations of disabled people's rights — citing cuts to housing and care. Now the Government plans more benefit cuts. Our community can't take more. Ask your Government to STOP #TakingThePIP

Let’s hope this is true. But the cuts should be stopped entirely, not “softened down.” #StopTheCuts Ministers look at softening UK welfare cuts to avert rebellion by Labour MPs www.ft.com/content/1139...

Vile article, without any evidence to back up this claim: “Some people on benefits are faking it. There, I’ve said it”. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/22/some-people-on-benefits-are-faking-it-welfare-economy-uk/ The archived (free) version of the article: archive.is/202505271614...

As a disabled person, I’ve watched helplessly was govts punch down on disabled people. My mistake was thinking I was helpless. A butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world can hypothetically trigger a hurricane in another. We are not powerless. #takingthepip #DisabilityRebellion

Stop PIP Cuts: Protect Support for Disabled People We call on the UK govt to reverse the changes to PIP. These cuts unfairly target disabled people who rely on PIP for essential support. We would like fair and compassionate welfare policies that protect the most vulnerable in society.

This "divided" is puzzling. The reasons to support these cuts are nonsense: "We're about improving life outcomes and being ambitious for those people who maybe need a bit more encouragement." Right. So why are you taking away the disability benefit (PIP) that helps people be independent and work?
