*Reminder* Labour are legislating to punish impoverished ill/disabled citizens: ➡️ 46% of Daily Living PIP claimants at risk of losing benefits ➡️ 80%* of LCWRA/ESA claimants at risk of losing benefits ➡️ Only £424pcm (UC Basic Rate) + sanctions for jobseeking non-compliance #LocalElections

Local Elections in England are TOMORROW (1 May 2025) I'd recommend searching for Local Election Results 2021 + Council name Each Council website should list Vote Share breakdown for 2021 Then check who is standing this year here 👇 #LocalElections www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You cannot feel empowered or secure enough to effectively jobseek on UC Basic Rate of £424pcm, especially when ill/disabled & under duress of sanctions But that's what the Labour Government are proposing for 80%* of claimants who will no longer qualify for UC Health Element (LCWRA/ESA)

Labour are wrong to claim too many Young People are on Disability Benefits 👇 ➡️ Only 6% of LCW/LCWRA & ESA WRAG/SG cohort are under 25 (2,969,411 Total: 173,584 are under 25) ➡️ Only 13% of Daily Living PIP are under 25 (2,968,667 Total: 377,044 are under 25) #WelfareNotWarfare

Sept 2024: Universal Declaration of Human Rights "still inspires me as PM...speaks about our inherent dignity, the very essence of what it is to be human, of equal and inalienable rights" Labour's war on #DisabilityBenefits: er who's gonna tell him?

🧵 Main takeaways from 2nd Work & Pensions Committee on "Get Britain Working..." proposals: Headlines: ➡️ Unjustifiable rush to push legislation through without all impact assessments ➡️ Employers need clarity on Reasonable Adjustment responsibility Vs Government responsibility
