"To cut benefits to the poor and disabled is morally indefensible". From one of the many faces of Kier Starmer.

First they came for the immigrants. Then they came for the disabled. When will these feckers get round to coming for the real villains … the grossly rich?

It's insane.
I'm disabled, neuro-diverse and have been waiting for major surgery for 5 years (finally getting it next week!)

Looks like I'll loose everything by the end of next year.

Good luck with that surgery. That's a hell of a wait. Hope it goes well.

Hanging in there. Technically I have a little longer before I lose mine, but it makes little difference.

Still feels like Dead Man Walking.

Labour is worse than Reform and, God help us, worse than the Tories, who at least never tried to act compassionate.

@lizkendallmp.bsky.social literally no different to Iain Duncan Smith or Esther McVay.

It's interesting that they released this report. There are clearly people in the DWP who don't agree with these cuts. And DWP's own research is the heaviest ammunition against them. We only see a glimpse of whatever politics is happening around this "reform".

This idea that people claim PIP just because they fancy a bit of extra cash is ludicrous. It's the most stressful, arduous process (which many drop out of because they can't cope with it all). Plus now they're sending out questionnaires on how we spend the money!

Going to make it more difficult to claim PIP, needing 4 points instead of 2, that will mean a million plus be thrown on the scrapeheap

Exactly, I really have no idea how they think this is going to 'help people back into work'.
