[Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East @AndyMcDonaldMP]

Why the rush to strip support from those too unwell to work, without understanding the consequences?

Let’s stop these Universal Credit cuts and build a system with - rather than dictated to - disabled people.

I'm supporting this amendment to stop the £2bn cuts.

[💙Rachael Maskell MP @RachaelMaskell]

I voted against the UC&PIP Bill. It's now due back for next stage in Parliament. My next Amendment 👇would safeguard those with fluctuating conditions, or a recurrence of a condition from being placed onto a lower rate of universal credit

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

This Wednesday, MPs will again vote on the disability benefits Bill.

A huge £2 BILLION cut to disability support is still in the Bill.

750,000 low income sick and disabled people will lose £3,000 a year.

My new article on why MPs must vote this down.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

🚨The UN has written to the government about disability cuts in the UC and PIP Bill 🚨

It says it "has received credible information" indicating that the Bill will "deepen the signs of regression" on disabled people's rights in the UK.

The Bill must not proceed.

[Imran Hussain MP @Imran_HussainMP]

Halving the UC Health Element means slashing £3,000 a year from over 700,000 sick and disabled people — a £2bn cut that hits those already struggling.

It’s wrong to balance the books this way. We need real consultation and a fairer plan that puts people first.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Key point in Dan’s brilliant take down of fantasies of left on tax. Equivalent fantasy on right is huge painless spending cuts.

We can have bigger state and more tax on average earners. We can have smaller state and real cuts in public services/benefits.

Thats it. The choice

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

New @YouGov polling shows 75% are in favour of a 2% tax on wealth above £10 million.

Children in England living in “almost Dickensian levels of poverty” where deprivation has become normalised, children’s commissioner says - ⁦@JournoJess_⁩ reports

This is why pressure on govt to scrap two-child benefit limit isn’t going away… https://t.co/BFF87QqrX2

Today, Labour has announced over fifty road and rail upgrades to:

✅ Ease congestion
✅ Cut journey times
✅ Create greater access to jobs and opportunities

[Tom Pollard @PollardTom]

This is nonsense. The impact assessment starts from an imaginary baseline incorporating reforms planned but never implemented by the previous government

In the real world, the cuts remaining in the Bill will push around 50,000 disabled people into poverty https://t.co/c159rug06K

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

MPs will this week vote on a £2 BILLION cut to disability benefits.

750,000 people will lose £3,000 a year.

This includes people who can’t use their hands, need help to eat or drink and have debilitating incontinence.

My Amendment would stop this cut.

Ask your MP to back it.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

This Labour government is investing £500million to open 1,000 Best Start Family Hubs across England.

We’re giving parents the support they need to give children the best start in life.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Good luck England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We’re all behind you.

[Councillor Jamie Sweeney 🌹 @cllrsweeney]

Labour remains the best vehicle for socialism in Britain. Another left-wing party would split the vote further and risk helping Nigel Farage into Downing Street.
