An anonymous MP has said that PM, Keir Starmer "has lost the plot and is a bully" because of threats of not being allowed to stand as a Labour MP at the next election if they vote against the attack on disabled individuals. This is the Labour Party. Cunts! News source: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Let this be the beginning of the avalanche that buries these cuts.

The moment Torsten Bell parachuted into Swansea West from Labour’s London HQ as Starmer’s man, it was clear he was never going to stand up for Swansea, Wales or people here. Just another rung on his career ladder. Did he ever believe in his Resolution Foundation work? nation.cymru/news/campaig...

Disabled people react with ‘growing atmosphere of fear and anger’ to disability cuts bill first reading Three campaign groups that represent disabled people have reacted to the first reading of the welfare reform bill - before the first face-to-face consultation in Wales has even taken place.

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

IMPORTANT: For anyone watching the news about disability benefit cuts. Don't panic if you hear parliament say the second reading of the bill (i.e. the vote) is tomorrow, that just means it's active on the list of upcoming business, not that they are actually voting on it tomorrow. #WelfareNotWarfare

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, and you’ve got to make it stop. -- Mario Savio

“Get your house in order.” That's the message from a Senedd committee to the UK Govt, echoing our call to stop reckless disability benefit cuts. Disabled people deserve support to fully participate in society, not policies that push us further into poverty. www.disabilitywales.org/get-your-hou...
