🚨 Lots of people on Universal Credit are in work.

Wages are just so low that even with a Universal Credit top up people still can't afford food and bills.

Re-post to help us spread the message.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.

Please share this far and wide...

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.

"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

Please like and share.

[💙Rachael Maskell MP @RachaelMaskell]

Tonight MPs have tabled a reasoned amendment on behalf of disabled people who have yet to have agency in this process. It is time their voices were heard. It is backed by 138 organisations @PippaCrerar @guardian

[Paul & Allie @Condor_Events]

@NadiaWhittomeMP This is hitting many disabled people including those that are working ! Makes no sense many working people are on benefits ! PIP Helps them get to work so what’s the deal ?

[Paul & Allie @Condor_Events]

It’s very sad that @UKLabour can only hurt the disabled with no clearly set out plans to help any disabled into work means it’s CUTS. So no research in the effects of these cuts. It can only hurt the most vulnerable in society!. @NgLabour @NadiaWhittomeMP

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

It is significant that Disability Labour - the Labour Party’s official disabled person’s affiliate organisation - has issued a statement that the government’s concessions are insufficient and is calling on all MPs to vote against the benefits Bill on Tuesday.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

Disabled MPs have voted overwhelmingly against the assisted dying bill, and warned that it poses a clear danger to disabled people if it eventually becomes law.

[Paul & Allie @Condor_Events]

@PaulandAli @LilianGreenwood @UKLabour Yes stating more help for disabled into work could even justify cutting essential benefits. Particularly when no help has even been developed. Sadly @UKLabour @NgLabour have got this wrong . As the cruel points deduction will hit so many at the bottom of society, @DisRebellion

[Brian Leishman @BrianLeishmanMP]

I did not become a Labour member to impoverish vulnerable people. The proposed cuts to welfare should be rejected and the government should focus on improving people's living standards and creating a society that looks after people.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Punishing MPs who refuse to punish the disabled. That doesn't make you look tough. It makes you look heartless.

20 Labour MPs have now announced they will vote against the government's welfare reforms - see our full list here 🔽 https://t.co/tiSAP6JlUD

[Paul & Allie @Condor_Events]

Hopefully @labour @DisabilityLab will actually listen help into work is one thing but cutting benefits to the genuine and vulnerable needy is another. @NadiaWhittomeMP @AngelaRayner @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @AnnaKennedy1 @PeoplesMomentum @johnmcdonnellMP

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

There is no moral case for cutting disability benefits, and frankly, the economic case is flimsy too, especially when there's money to be found elsewhere.

Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the greatest burden: we need to tax the super-rich.

[Paul & Allie @Condor_Events]

Well put @NadiaWhittomeMP our local MP . Your letter demonstrates not just helping people into work. But hurting the most vulnerable in society deliberately taking away their much needed support. @labour @DisabilityLab hopefully more MPs will follow your example. @AngelaRayner

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

I have written to the government to express my deep concerns about the proposed changes to disability benefits, and to ask a number of questions.

I will vote against these cuts.
