I know how to get sick and disabled people back to work The government’s proposed ‘ruthless’ cuts to the welfare payments won’t fix our broken benefits system, says disability rights campaigner Kamran Mallick – instead, some targeted investments would actually pay dividends

PIP,WCA claimants know this pain...and we know the "mass hysteria" feeds stigma and denial of benefits support -it's why govt line is that MH issues aren't real.
What are they doing about impossible wait times other than tell us we don't don't deserve PIP, UC health elements etc?

Some very doable options #Labour could choose instead of trying to minimise the welfare state with their horrific #BenefitsCuts which will push more people into #Poverty

So, of course none of these will happen 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Why do they insist on hurting those who need the most support?

[4] Tweaking tax rates on a sliding scale will incentivise work but not penalise, so those who do work or try to start businesses will have a safety net that can't be taken away, but have every reason to work, train, & try.
Economics has evolved. Thinking must too.

[3] Next look at the volume on all benefits & the cost of administering assessing & investigating them.
Run a proper study on whether it would be cheaper overall to provide a basic universal income to every adult, but start taxing wages from the 1st £ [ctd]

I was dubious about #Starmer & co pre election. No quality. No credibility. No policies. Basically #Labour won by keeping schtum & letting the rest implode.
Now for me it is confirmed.
They couldn't find their fat arses with a map & compass & are fulfilling IDS' legacy [ctd]

Three months’ grace for claimants about to lose disability benefits Ministers are attempting to placate angry MPs with measures to help people who no longer qualify for benefits under Labour’s tougher rules

"Disability claimants will keep their payments for three months if they no longer qualify under tougher rules, as ministers seek to placate angry MPs by promising nobody will lose out until 2027."

Living with long Covid can be devestating – but it needn't be Jo Platt MP says the system doesn’t recognise the experience of people with long Covid – ministers have a real opportunity to put this right.

"PIP criteria should reflect the complex, fluctuating, multi-system nature of long Covid. It’s a sensible first step that would make the system so much fairer for people living with energy-limiting, invisible illnesses, like long Covid as well as ME"

Will Labour Scrap the Two-Child Benefit Cap—or Shift Poverty? Labour may scrap the two-child cap—but will it fund the move by cutting support elsewhere? Is this reform or just poverty redistribution?

Night thoughts: If Labour finally axes the two-child cap, what else will suffer to pay for it? You can’t build a fairer society by quietly picking who loses.

As if it wasn't bad enough on its own, so many people are affected by this, primarily the disabled, carers, disabled students, EVERYONE. The fact that they continue to push on is absolutely vile. #ukpolitics #benefitscuts #labouruk

We are literally doing what Labour is saying, working hard and studying to get careers all the while they're fucking us over by limiting our ability to afford housing, to even afford to keep up with going to college or university. What is the logic? #ukpolitics #benefitscuts #labouruk

It speaks volumes about Labour continuing with their cuts to PIP, when disabled students rely on it to receive DSA and the disability element of the maintenance loan. They haven't even been considered. #ukpolitics #labouruk #keirstarmer #benefitscuts

Do you agree with @unitesharon.bsky.social that the Labour government should:
🚩Show workers they are on their side
🚩Reverse bad decisions like the #WinterFuel and #benefitscuts
🚩Be bold & channel the 1945 Labour government
Yes? PLs share and have your say below 🗣️

#DisabilityCrowdfund We shouldn't have to be doing this, but in light of the #BenefitsCuts I'm not leaving anything to the government that I don't have to. It's not a substitute for campaigning on the cuts but I hope it could be a useful thing.

I claim PIP - Labour cuts will backfire and push people like me out of work Disabled people in full-time work say they are being targeted for ‘soul-destroying’ cuts to the welfare bill

🪧 There’s growing cross-party rebellion over £5bn benefits cuts.

📰 Adam Forrest nails it: Labour cuts could push people like me—working, claiming PIP—out of work.

This isn’t support. It’s sabotage.

News article from The Times with the headline “Disability benefits for anxiety and depression double since pandemic.” A photo above the article shows a woman sitting on a bed by a window, head resting on her knees, in a dimly lit room. The article reports that mental health conditions have overtaken arthritis as the biggest driver of PIP costs

Line graph titled “Expenditure by category – Personal independence payments.” It shows rising costs from 2018 to 2024, with anxiety and depression sharply increasing above all other conditions. Arthritis, learning disabilities, and back pain follow. The chart source is DWP, published by The Times and The Sunday Times

Arthritis, learning disabilities, and back pain follow. The chart source is DWP, published by The Times and The Sunday Times

The DWP has decided to publish, for the first time ever, PIP costs broken down by condition — in a blatant bid to galvanise hatred against the mental health and neurodivergent community.

This is hate-baiting. It is a deliberate attempt to justify democidal #BenefitsCuts.
