Absolutely shocking to see a Labour secretary of state stand at the despatch box and proudly announce slashing support for some of those who need it most - including removing the UC health top-up for young people, as if young disabled people don't exist?! #DisabilityBenefits

The alliance for next GE should recruit disaffected Labour MPs who retain morality/decency.
THis country cannot survive appeasers or accomplices to fascism
Could you ensure that stops, and that they are penalised whenever the lose an appeal.
A friend works on those appeals and has never lost one.
Streamline the process by all means. Have GPs do it? I'd rather money went to them than Med-corps.
We've suffered for 15 years under draconian cuts & now this?
I don't know how we will survive it. I genuinely don't.
It took me over 6 months to get PIP, it was incredibly stressful, but there's no way I'm gonna get 4 points in 1 category on reassessment. A LOT of people won't. People who need it more than me won't.
i'm quite sure many woulda been at the end of their tether before the announcement was even made...
There are less than 17k of disability confident jobs https://findajob.dwp.gov.uk/search?dc=1&loc=86383 so where do the 600k+ gain employment?

This pogrom against disability began last time Labour were in power. Now they've bullied anyone progressive into the ground they're free to be more Tory than the Tories and it shows.
A false harmful economy which won't get the results they claim, on top of already failed economics.
The poor in the U.K will return to their historic norm. Living as Charles Dickens characters.
Unless you all organize against your obvious oppressors of course
They pay tuition fees that my generation didn't. They appear to be getting less benefit now.
Hitting them hard like this isn't conducive to them buying homes and having families.
These are often way more valuable to claimants than £70 per week anyway (certainly to my wife and daughter).
Economic illiteracy appears to be as widespread among politicians as any other group in society.
This feels completely ideological to me.
Greens have just hit 60,000!! 🎊🎊
Yes they have 3x more members...
...but If every green member convinced 3 people to join the greens we will rival them!!
💚 Vote Green 💚
my problems first became really apparent when i was around 13. no amount of government cruelty can cure autism.

They can defend not taxing the rich all they like, it doesn't make any sense!.. Are we just gonna keep getting the same old sh** we've had since 2008?... TAX THE RICH!
