Nadia making the real moral case when it comes to welfare on #r4today
Responding to truly disgusting questions about “incentivising” people out of disability through benefits cuts.
Protecting sick & disabled people from poverty is not only morally right, but saves money long term.
Cuts cost more.

'Balancing the books' on the backs of poor and disabled people was wrong when the Tories did it, and it would be wrong now.
It’s a political choice - one that could push 700,000 households into poverty.
Our government should instead tax the ballooning wealth of the super-rich.

rings of the 'pull yourself together' mentality and then what is essentially undermining anyone's disability.
Was Liz Kendall chosen to lead the charge because of a lack of empathy and understanding, or is this what we expect from politicians these days?
But no Labour government should choose to hurt poor, sick, old and vulnerable people instead of raising taxes for the rich.
Do what's right, or end up like Trump's USA
Just as televised raids on nail bars won't attract Reform voters to Labour, performative fiscal cruelty will repel much of Labour's support.
Is Starmer deliberately trying to lose the next GE?

We can afford a supportive welfare state but we have to find the money from the super rich, not from the poorest.
Well said @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social 👏👏 #r4today
When it comes to the most vulnerable in this country they are at the bottom of the list,How do these people sleep at night we often ask,
Apparently they sleep well to make Disabled people suffer even more,Choices...
'Second, that if you work hard then – whoever you are, wherever you started in life – Britain is a country that will respect your contribution and give you a fair chance to get on.'
The impoverished millions battered from 24 years of Tory financial austerity do not want to hear about black holes and five year plans.
They desperately need help NOW.
Shameful yet shameless.
NO?
Then this is nothing but a stick to beat our most vulnerable with.
All this right wing rhetoric is about greed. Nothing more. Nothing less.
