@terrymccorry @TrussellUK That's why many of us campaigned so hard for #DisabilityRights against #DisabilityBenefitCuts and #PIPCuts
See these recent Guardian articles. That's @Dis_PPL_Protest and @Ruils and excerpts from https://t.co/09JSoNjhXv #DWP Timms Review interim Policy Paper on PIP.
So, @kevinhollinrake on #bbcqt bemoans the fact that the proposed eligibility changes for #pip last year didn't go through.
Those changes, Mr Hollinrake, combined with changes to WCA, would have cost #disabled people £9000 a year in many, many cases.
He says that those with minor mental health issues shouldn't get PIP, but PIP is given to people for how their condition affects them, not on their condition itself. And it does not matter if people are in work or not. NOBODY knows what cumulative conditions people have on PIP because the list of conditions are not listed on forms in any order. Therefore they are not put into the system in any order. So "mild anxiety" might be listed as the first condition on the system but that same person might have cancer, be in a wheelchair, or be blind. This is the issue: you are making assumptions without any way of actually extracting that kind of information.
Your own party has just had its knuckles rapped for coming out with this kind of codswallop, and yet you keep going with the misinformation and skewing of data. Labour didn't consult a single disability organisation, charity or individuals last year about their proposed changes. Not one - I have a reply to my FOI that proves that. Despite that, despite the fact that people's lives would have been wrecked, your party would have voted FOR the changes. That shows you didn't do any research into it either.
If you want changes to welfare, so be it, but remember this: most of the people with mental health conditions on PIP are there because your party governed while waiting lists for talking therapies went from 6 weeks in 2012 to two years in 2024. Likewise, people waiting for elective surgery on the #NHS. Your party did this and yet you have the nerve to say people should not be supported financially because your austerity measures resulted in them getting ill enough to go on PIP because they couldn't get treatment. YOU created this mess, not the sick and disabled.
Now, go away, do some research, and come back when you have got beyond announcing policies that are scapegoating the sick and disabled of this country. We are not a fucking political football or a way of scoring points with the electorate.

@TheCanaryUK @johnpringdns @DisRightsUK
@johnpringdns Unelected Lords rake in £332/day just for turning up. Disabled people? Scraped of PIP, denied care, left with less than £300/week to survive.
This isn't policy - it's cruelty wearing a tie and necklace

@16mVotes @Yvonnehall47751 That's exactly what should happen. I'm sure a cross selection of The Disabled community would produce an excellent system based on support & fairness instead of the tortuous bureaucratic nightmare we have now. #PIPcuts #WelfareReformBill
On BBC News, Hannah, a PIP recipient, talks about the danger still buried in the welfare reform bill. #disabilityjustice #WelfareNotWarfare #PIP #DisabilityRights #StopTheCuts #PIPcuts #DisabilityCuts #mentalhealth #DisabilityCuts

Let’s rest — but not go quiet. Now’s the time to speak to our MPs.
Local orgs like @DontCallMeSpec must be included. Disabled voices must be heard.
MP surgeries are open. @SDoughtyMP — I’m your constituent. Let’s meet.
This fight isn’t over. It’s just shifting.
#PIPcuts
@PippaCrerar We'll be naming and shaming those responsible.
MPs won't be able to go in local cafes etc- they'll be hounded out.
They will be despised, and they'll lose their seats.
And when they leave politics - we'll make sure it still follows them around like a bad smell.

Labour MP Laurence Turner reveals a PIP assessment asked someone “how long have you been autistic?”
This is what disabled people are up against.
And they want to make that system harsher?
#PIPcuts #UCbill #DisabilityRights #KillTheBill #TakingThePIP
Mary Kelly Foy nails it:
“If MPs vote for the Bill, they will be knowingly leaving vulnerable people without the support they need.”
No one gets to hide behind promises after that, right?
#PIPcuts #UCbill #LabourRebels #DisabilityRights #TakingThePIP
Darren Paffey welcomes the concessions but warns: “Intentions alone are not enough.”
He’s right. You can’t legislate on promises.

Ian Lavery says if all the U-turns and concessions were stripped out, the Universal Credit and PIP Bill would be just two pages long.
“WITHDRAW THE BILL!”
#PIPcuts #KillTheBill #LabourRebels #DisabilityRights #TakingThePIP
Ian Byrne says MPs are voting on the Bill as written — not with promises tacked on.
He says if the government is serious, pull the Bill and start again… People believed Labour would protect them, and he has have no answer for them.

@NadiaWhittomeMP Labour’s welfare reform is a transparent failure at political deceit — creating a cruel two-tier system for disabled people. MPs are rebelling.

@BBCPolitics Labour Mps would not be voting this through if it was a tory policy so why are they cos its a labour one. They would be up in arms calling the government callous, cruel #PIPCUTS
1/1 The Govt is slashing disability benefits.
@TowerHamletsNow is protecting the vulnerable with £10m plus invested in care and dignity.
This is leadership @LutfurRahmanTH
