ME/CFS—sometimes known under the trivializing name “chronic fatigue syndrome”—is a severe, neurological illness with many disabling symptoms besides the fatigue: hypersensitivity, OI, pain, brain fog, sleep reversals, loss of mobility … The list goes on. #MEAwarenessHour #MECFS

We applaud the power of disabled people, food banks and MPs, like Dr Marie Tidball, who have tirelessly used their voices to stand up for disabled people. 💚

Ahead of the final vote next week, we're encouraging MPs to ensure disabled people are protected from severe hardship.

We’re asking all MPs to vote against the UCPIP Bill today.

The government’s own impact assessment says the cuts will plunge 150,000 people into poverty by the end of this Parliament.

This is likely an underestimate and says nothing of the people already in poverty who will sink into even greater hardship.

MPs must protect their disabled constituents and vote against this Bill today.

"None of us got into Labour politics in order to make disabled people poorer," Labour MP Richard Burgon tells #PoliticsLive

People will "end up being defined by this vote... that will hang like an albatross around their necks", he adds

Thankyou to every MP who voted to protect vulnerable disabled and sick people. To every MP who voted for or abstained, hang your head in shame. What a disgrace.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

From my speech in Parliament today: why I will vote against this Bill and vote against any cuts to disability support.

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

I'm standing with disabled people.

I’m voting NO to disability benefit cuts.

The Government must press pause and rework this policy working alongside disabled people's charities and groups.

Before you vote on PIP today…

Have you lived it?

Have you filled in the 37-page form?
Been disbelieved for smiling?
Judged for walking 20 metres once?

If you haven’t lived it, you have no right to make it worse.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

I will not vote to take money off sick and disabled people.

No Labour MP should.

[Claire 💙 @goodpsych72]

@steveracemp by voting for this disastrous pip bill you have lost my future vote. Disabled are not dispensable and claiming pip does not stop people working. Being disabled is what may stop people working. #WelfareReformBill

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

The Government’s passing of their benefit cuts agenda shows the deep disdain for Disabled people.

Despite attempts to silence us, through our collective campaigning, we made them drop billions of cuts, and we will continue to resist this disastrous bill.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Whatever promises of changes have been made to MPs, two things remain:

1) When MPs vote tonight, the 4-point PIP rule is still in the Bill

2) Over 700,000 low-paid sick & disabled new claimants will lose their UC health payments - £3,000 on average.

That's £2 BILLION of cuts.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I am going into the Commons Chamber to speak against & vote against the Government’s appalling Bill to cut disability benefits. I urge all Labour MPs to do so. I was elected to protect disabled people not harm them.

[Claire 💙 @goodpsych72]

@ChronicallyVex Thank you. Please talk about how disability can affect anyone. You can be fit and healthy and then suddenly you're not and support is really hard to access. The small financial contribution the government makes is so hard to claim anyway and they want to make it harder.

[Claire 💙 @goodpsych72]

@RichardBurgon Thank you. I wish my MP @steveracemp had as much moral courage as you and these MPs.

[Claire 💙 @goodpsych72]

@steveracemp Dr and NHS will be even more in demand with these incredibly cruel pip and welfare reforms. Labour should be ashamed. It's a disgrace to attack the vulnerable in such a way.

[Tanni Grey-Thompson @Tanni_GT]

PIP is not an out work benefit.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

It’s now confirmed: the vote on disability cuts will be next week.

So next Monday in Parliament, I’ll be presenting my petition for a Wealth Tax - not disability cuts.

Over 70,000 have already signed! Let's get as many as possible.
