The bill has passed with amendments which are not good enough, especially for those on Universal Credit.
Keep piling the pressure on your MP!
Here are tips on what to tell your MP before before the 3rd reading on 9th July 2025

SCRAP THE BILL
Fab response from people at our stall yesterday!
Today the UC and PIP Bill is scheduled for Second Reading in the House of Commons.
Never allow your MP to forget: if today they vote for cuts, abstain on the bill, or vote for concessions, they are gone! #WelfareNotWarfare
We'll be there from 1 to 4pm!
We will be at Glasgow Buchanan street by TGI Fridays tomorrow handing out leaflets. Feel free to pop by if you want to meet us and chat!
(Look for our disability pride flag)
A protest outside the UK Parliament features disabled activists using mobility scooters. One person holds a sign with the Labour Party logo that reads, "PUSHING THE DISABLED INTO POVERTY." Another raises their fist in protest. The image is overlaid with text summarizing a Guardian article by Frances Ryan titled "Worse than anything under the Tories’: changes to welfare bill anger disability campaigners." The caption states that government concessions have failed to appease disabled people’s groups, who fear future poverty. The post is branded as “Long Covid News” by Long Covid Advocacy.
🗞️ LCA in @theguardian.com
"A last-minute napkin deal will not assure safety for disabled people. The concessions create an unfair two-tier system – it is unethical to only throw some people under the bus."
🙏 @francesryan.bsky.social for including disabled voices

Photo of a group of people and a service dog outside Chris Murray’s office holding sings. Text reads: “Yesterday morning Crips Against Cuts joined forces with Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty to protest outside MP Chris Murray’s office”
Closeup of posters taped on the office’s window. Big posters have an image of scissors and read “say no to disability benefit cuts” Text reads: “Chris Murray is committed to voting FOR the benefit cuts that will put our lives in danger.”
Don’t let the progress pride flag on his window fool you - Chris Murray refuses to stand up for marginalised people. #CripsAgainstCuts #ChrisMurray #WelfareNotWarfare #KillTheBill #Edinburgh

“OUR LIVES HAVE VALUE! The benefit cuts must be stopped NOW, before Disabled people are forced to suffer irreversible consequences.”
The clock is ticking: On the 1st of July the proposed disability cuts will be debated and voted on.
We must ramp up the fight to not let them be implemented!
