Comedian Rosie Jones issues four-word warning over 'terrifying' welfare changes Comedian Rosie Jones, who has cerebral palsy, has warned 'no one is safe' from Labour’s welfare cuts despite major concessions over their plans on Personal Independence Payments

Listen to Rosie These Concessions are fake promises

The headline disability benefit cuts are £9bn, not £4.7bn The OBR are assuming that people change their behaviour in response to the cuts - without this, the cuts are nearly twice as deep

The cuts of benefits for disabled people are already significantly bad, this argues that they are actually worse that what has been described.

Is it safe? Is it spying? Disquiet over NHS ‘magic eye’ surveillance camera in mental health units Campaign calls for investigation into the use of Oxevison amid concerns over care and its effect on patients

“I was in a constant state of hypervigilance. I was completely traumatised.”

Oxevision cameras are being installed above patients’ beds in NHS mental health units causing fear, retraumatisation and even linked to deaths.

This isnt safety. This is surveillance.

Reality check, Labour:
IAPT Talking Therapies stats show 1.8M referrals, over 60% drop out.
Of 1.2M who start, 45% quit. Just 336K recover.
PIP claimants are not mild cases. They’re the illest—often in secondary services.
You can’t cut support by pretending therapy is a magic fix.

This is a sad comment on the value that UK society places on its own people.

How To Be Disabled and Proud A warm, funny and empowering guide to what you can expect growing up disabled, written by disabled journalist and mum Cathy Reay. Have you ever felt like you don’t fit in anywhere? Or like no-one…

Just want to recommend How to be Disabled and Proud by @cathyreaywrites. It's kind of a survival guide for disabled children, but also much more than that. It's smart, kind and funny, but also empowering. And it has a brilliant chapter on activism.

The impact of planned disability reforms on local authorities and the NHS | Policy in Practice New disability reforms analysis: Millions affected, billions lost. Read who’s impacted, by how much, and why

Labour's disability cuts will affect over 2.9 million people, increasing pressure on the NHS, local authorities and housing... while many Disabled people "will become invisible within the support system"

Disability groups consider ‘step back’ from government A number of disability-led organisations say they are considering “stepping back” from engaging with the government over benefit cuts

Why work with government that will force many disabled people into absolute poverty? Changing the requirements to get daily living component of PIP will actually force many people off PIP & family carers will lose their carer's allowance impoverisation for the family

Keir Starmer criticises watchdog's benefits forecasts The PM says he

The LP cannot let go of the narrative that disabled people are lazy & don't "contribute" by labouring for pay. It is not an issue of behaviour; it is the reality that disabled people are oppressed in the capitalist system & btw, disabled people are in paid work.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some disabled people could lose £10k a year in benefits by end of decade Experts say planned cuts will deliver series of ‘painful income shocks’ for many

Ministers are silent, but PIP cuts won’t just hurt disabled people — carers will suffer too.

PIP is a passport to support like Carer’s Allowance & council tax reductions. Losing it could cost carers thousands a year, pushing families deeper into poverty.

“This is going to be remembered in the same way as the poll tax for Margaret Thatcher and tuition fees for Nick Clegg. Those caused riots. This won’t, but demonising disabled people will not be forgiven”. 💔letters in @theguardian.com on #DisabilityBenefits www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Councils and NHS could face millions in extra costs due to disability benefit cuts Government plans for Pip cuts will drive up costs for local authority social care services and NHS, campaigners warn

#DisabilityBenefits cuts will cost more in every way.

“For every pound that someone loses in benefits, you know that – if a council has to step in to cover the shortfall – it’s about £1.50 additional impact”- Disability Policy Centre.

Dear @teamlabouruk.bsky.social MPs,

I know many of you are doomscrolling #DisabilityBenefits cuts. Could I ask you a favour? Please (re)watch I, Daniel Blake. His fate will be that of ***many*** more if Labour’s proposals go through.

Please do the right thing,

Jay

Alt text: A screenshot from The Telegraph’s website features a headline reading: “Labour benefit cuts may breach equality law, says human rights watchdog.” The subheading states: “Equality commission to consider how Liz Kendall’s £5b welfare reforms will impact disabled people.” Below the headline is a photo of Liz Kendall speaking at the dispatch box in the House of Commons. She is wearing large glasses and a dark blue suit, with a serious expression as MPs look on in the background.

NEW: The Equality and Human Right Commission is investigating Labour’s benefits cuts for potentially breaching the Equality Act. Spoiler alert: it is. I’m half way through all these PIP scoring forms and changing to needing 4 in one item is clearly discriminatory.

Work and pensions ministers have delayed the publication of evidence that would have explained why spending on disability benefits has been rising, just as they are announcing £5 billion in cuts to that support.

All UK families ‘to be worse off by 2030’ as poor bear the brunt, new data warns Keir Starmer has been dealt a fresh blow to his living standards pledge in advance of the spring statement

Living standards for all UK families set to fall by 2030, those on the lowest incomes declining twice as fast as middle and high earners.

Poorest in UK already worse off than poorest in Malta.

Govts appease corporations and the rich.

Must end neoliberal policies. Redistribute. Tax the rich.

Dear #SocialistCircle,
If ever there were a quote for #SocialistSunday, this is it.

Councils and NHS could face millions in extra costs due to disability benefit cuts Government plans for Pip cuts will drive up costs for local authority social care services and NHS, campaigners warn

Government plans to cut disability benefits could drive more costs on to cash-strapped councils, according to campaigners and local government officials

The Disability Policy Centre estimates the cuts would add £1.2bn of costs for the NHS and social care

By me: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Downright Nasty and Dangerous Reforms from the Labour Party Today is the day the Labour Party sold out their socialist principles and died when it released the Green Paper. It was a brutal and savage attack on disabled people and we will never forgive them …
