Back to #Manchester to find United have just won and a @scarpenterbr.bsky.social gig has finished. Everyone's in a good mood. Getting home might take a while though....

Thank you to all our brilliant speakers. We return tomorrow for the 2nd half 🙂

Dear Chancellor, We are writing to you as a collection of charities to urge you to think again about cuts to disability benefits. Disability benefits such as Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and the Limited Capability for Work Amount, can be a lifeline for disabled households and can enable people who receive PIP to work. Making cuts to disability benefits would have a catastrophic impact on disabled people up and down the country. Scope’s analysis of government figures shows that without PIP, a further 700,000 more disabled households could be pushed into poverty. Life costs more for disabled people. Huge numbers already live in poverty as a result of these extra costs. The impact of any cuts to disability benefits would be devastating. We agree with the government’s ambition to support more disabled people into work. However, making cuts to disability benefits will not achieve this goal or fix the system. In fact, there is little evidence to suggest cutting benefits increases employment outcomes. We know the benefits system is broken and needs reform. That there are disabled people out of work who want to work given the right support. And for some disabled people work isn’t appropriate. Changes to welfare must start here. Not with cuts. The government has an opportunity to work with disabled people and the sector to bring about meaningful change. We want disabled people to be heard and supported by the government. The needs and voices of the disability community should be at the heart of the government’s plans. Disabled people should not be an afterthought. We would urge you to safeguard disability benefits from cuts, we fear the cost of cuts is too great. Yours sincerely, Scope, Mind, Citizens Advice, RNIB, Sense, Guide Dogs, Disability Rights UK, Trussell, Mencap, MS Society, Parkinson’s UK, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, National Autistic Society, Inclusion Barnet, Thomas Pocklington Trust, Z2K, Turn2Us

We're in your corner 💙

This week, we wrote to Rachel Reeves. And our CEO, Sarah Hughes, met with the minister in charge of disability benefits to raise our concerns. 1/2

The END of NHS England

But will this ‘Bring back the Family Doctor’ which it has effectively seen removed

With cuts of 20% from core GP budgets

Replacement with ARRS but no GP funding

Extra work but reduced share of NHS budget

No support despite negative media

Keir Starmer scraps NHS England to put health service ‘into democratic control’ Health secretary says end of ‘biggest quango in world’ is final nail in coffin of Andrew Lansley’s 2012 reorganisation

When Cameron created NHS England, he also scrapped the government’s duty to provide comprehensive, universal healthcare.

So the *important thing* is that Labour need to reinstate that duty.

It’s not just about ministerial control. It’s about ministerial *duty*.
