I am one of 108 Labour MPs who have signed this Reasoned Amendment to decline a Second Reading of the UC and PIP Bill.
I do so particularly because disabled people have not been consulted and because it will drive thousands into poverty.

@Shrink_at_Large It’s a disgrace, nothing about the fact that the majority of carers are women within the sex characteristics section. Only 2 options given, what about a 3rd option - to reform in collaboration with disability groups and cut DWP and private contractors waste!!
Hi @JoPlattLeigh I've just emailed to ask you to vote against the Govt's welfare reforms and listen to autistic people instead. Will you stand with us and #ProtectOurBenefits? I have already sent you a detailed letter outlining my concerns, which hasn’t been fully addressed.
At least his child can work and get a job! Disabled people who can’t work are going to be penalised and ostracised….didn’t this happen in Germany in 1930’s? My late father who was a labour voter and who served in WW2 would be appalled at these cruel cuts and persecution.
Can not thank the staff at @WWLNHS
Maternity Ward, Delivery Suite, Infant Feeding Team & @RainbowWardWWL enough. My son Noah and I have been so well looked after. Incredibly kind & caring people throughout. I’ll never forget the care we have received🤍🤍🌈❤️ @WWLPatientExp
@emmamurphyitv Hi Emma I just watched your report on Early evening news, i don’t mean to worry you but you have a lump on the left side of your neck. Please can you get it checked out. Take care x
#PostOfficeScandal I would be asking how much the fraud against sub post masters/mistresses contributed to the inflated price of the PO before privatisation and how many shares the PO execs got? Insider trading? Stock market fraud?

‘Suspend all @PostOffice executives involved in Horizon Scandal’
Postmasters have called for the immediate suspension of all Post Office executives involved in the Horizon Scandal.
In a letter to @KemiBadenoch , the Voice of the Postmaster Committee @voiceofthePM , a group representing current sub-postmasters, accuse “individuals within Post Office Ltd” of having “engaged in a pattern of deceit, actively misleading @UKParliament , Members of Parliament, the judiciary, postmasters, and the public at large”.
It follows another week of damning allegations levelled at senior existing Post Office staff for their part in the Horizon IT scandal, which saw the unjust prosecution of more than 900 staff, many of whom were sent to prison.
The inquiry was shown emails revealing that Angela van den Bogerd was told that remote access was in fact possible as far back as 2010.
The executive, who received a bonus in the year she gave her evidence to the High Court, said she did not “knowingly” do anything wrong.
Other executives were accused at the inquiry of using “Orwellian language” to downplay concerns around the IT system, replacing the word “bugs” with “exception”.
The recent evidence presented, revealing that current Post Office managers and directors were aware of remote access capabilities as early as 2011 and chose not to intervene, is nothing short of appalling,” the Voice of the Postmaster Committee wrote.
“This flagrant disregard for ethical responsibility has resulted in nine additional years of unjust prosecutions, at significant cost to both taxpayers and the lives of postmasters.”
They went on to add “Merely waiting for the Inquiry to conclude is insufficient,” the letter states, adding: “Concrete decisions and swift action are imperative to ensure accountability and prevent further harm.”
A Post Office spokesman said: “A culture of respect and integrity is an absolute priority for today’s Post Office.
A Department for Business and Trade @biztradegovuk spokesperson said: “The Government set up the Horizon Inquiry to get to the bottom of this scandal and it would not be right for us to comment on its work whilst the inquiry is ongoing.
“We are committed to righting the wrong of the past and have introduced legislation to quash all convictions resulting from the Horizon scandal, with the aim of achieving Royal Assent by July.”

@jdlichfield @implausibleblog Since Stephen Watson became #GMP Chief Constable it’s been jobs for the boys - nepotism at its finest. Check GMP SLT figures for the number of women, BAME and social mobility in post since he became Chief and the amount that have passed promotion boards. Whistleblowers targeted
