Paying ‘Disabled Tax’ is a real thing that causes disabled people to be at a huge disadvantage.
Many of us only live via government support that simply does not take into account the cost of living for us.

Proud to have been on the picket line today, standing in solidarity alongside workers and members of @RMTunion and @TSSAunion.
The Government needs to pay transport staff what they deserve, not force a real terms pay cut on them during a #CostOfLivingCrisis.
"If I lose my job for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with rail workers, then so be it."
Shadow Transport Minister Sam Tarry tells @PGMcNamara why he joined striking rail workers on the picket line.
The Labour MP defied Sir Keir Starmer who had asked his MPs to stay away.

@lukeakehurst The socialist societies have always been used in the factional power game. Most of the affiliate delegates to my GC aren't active members of the society they are representing they've only joined so that they can get on the GC/EC, encouraged by Labour First I hear
This year, for the first time at Labour Conference, there will be a ‘Parliamentary Lounge’ ‘supported’ by Lloyds Bank for MPs, Peers & staff. Lloyds public affairs team will also ‘be on hand’.
Labour taking freebies from the finance lobby while not supporting striking workers.
The Labour Party was founded by the trade unions and we expect Labour MPs to defend workers, by words and by actions. To instruct Labour MPs not to be on picket lines with workers speaks volumes. 1/2
