Today the government revealed that a staggering 800,000 disabled people will lose out on £375/month on average from planned disability benefit cuts. The social security system should support us all when we need it most. Ask your MP to speak out👇 z2k.eaction.org.uk/green-paper-...

Cuts to benefits announced today have clearly been motivated by a desire to make short-term savings to meet arbitrary fiscal rules. They're not going to help ill and disabled people, they're only going to create more problems. @pollardtom.bsky.social reacts to Liz Kendall's speech

Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Liz Kendall's speech today laid out plans to cut disability and sickness benefits by billions. ❌ No truly moral choice would leave disabled people without support designed to allow them to lead a dignified life, or facing hardship. 1/4
