Police may charge the Post Office with corporate manslaughter over the Horizon scandal – so why can’t the government face the same when DWP policies lead to deaths?

Race against time to secure #DWPdeaths evidence before #UCBill @johnpring.bsky.social
“The whole attitude of #DWP remains utterly unchanged; I don’t know how any MP can expect that institution to do anything except cause harm” @ritb.bsky.social

🚨‼️There’s a race against time to force #DWP to release vital evidence about flaws in the #universalcredit system before #parliament passes #UCBill that will cut billions of pounds from #disabled people’s support ⬇️ #DWPDeaths

John Pring looking grim-faced and holding his book The Department as he stands in a vast, ancient stone hall, with people milling in the background.
I fear today's debates will pass without a mention of #DWPDeaths and the risk to thousands of disabled claimants of universal credit if this bill passes. So leaving this here from this morning in Westminster Hall, because MPs already have the evidence.

Going to bed warm, fed, safe?
Mo Stewart’s new report reveals how DWP policies robbed that from the most vulnerable.
If cuts go ahead, more lives will be lost.

Heading home? Some never made it.
Mo Stewart’s new report exposes how DWP policies led to deaths — and how new cuts could cost even more lives.

Mo Stewart’s new report proves DWP cuts have cost lives. The gov’t knows the system is broken — and they’re slashing benefits anyway.

DWP policies are causing deaths — and the gov’t is hiding it. Mo Stewart’s new report demands an independent panel to investigate. #DWPdeaths #DisabilityRights #DWPcrisis

Thankyou. In a time where actual #DWPdeaths are kept hidden its hard to fathom but this might offer a little ray of hope -www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/17/rac...
While you work through your lunch, some people are fighting to survive. The DWP says it's changing — but is it too late for the dead already left behind?

New report exposes 274+ DWP-linked deaths. Labour promises safeguarding—but cuts PIP for 1.3m. Same DWP, same damage? #DWPDeaths #WelfareReform #VoxPolitical

Good. The story has reached Parliament. I'm so glad. I was telling my family about what happened. It leaves you speechless. 😢 And this is the current system! Before Starmer's Labour make it tougher.

David, who lived on the ground floor of a two-storey council house, had left a handwritten note describing his deteriorating health and state of desperation, and how he had fallen over eight times since the start of the year. He is believed to have died on 19 February, after 25 years of ill-health which had grown considerably worse over the last year. David had ME, fibromyalgia and diverticulitis, which left him with severe fatigue, “mental fog”, reoccurring flu and incontinence, and only able to walk a few steps. The handwritten note described his continual incontinence and how he was losing a cup of blood a day because of the diverticulitis. But his PIP had been removed just weeks earlier, on 4 January, after he failed to return the lengthy form that he needed to fill out as part of a review of his claim ordered by DWP. His sister says he would not have been well enough to walk to the post-box to post it, even if he had been able to fill it in, because he could “barely make it to his gate without falling over”.
Starmer's Labour: Y U NO WORK?? GERRAJOB! YOU'RE NOT DISABLED. YOU'RE LYING. YOU CHOSE THIS. WHERE DID YOU LEARN ALL THOSE BIG WORDS EH? EH?? WE'RE CUTTING YOUR POCKET MONEY. LAZY GET.

Video of John McDonnell MP. Title: 'Former shadow chancellor: this Labour budget will cause immense human suffering' Subtitle: "over 600 people"
I didn't see the report. I didn't know over 600 sick/disabled people had taken their own lives when Tories were in govt. The true figure is probably higher, 600+ is what they admitted to. #DWPdeaths #SpringStatement

Babs 💙🐝⌛️🦋 @babs05.bsky.social @Babs_SK Tories don't keep any records on purpose. No records, no prosecution. They did in the first year of coalition, but then the DWP published its report for 2010-11 saying 10,600 sick/disabled died through welfare reform. That's 29 deaths per day, 1 or 2 every hour. 4:41 PM · Apr 16, 2018
I remember Dr Frances Ryan breaking it down like this in the Guardian once. I got a calculator out to see for myself. She was right. #democide #DWPdeaths #WelfareReform #WelfareCuts #austerity
The 2010/11 doc should still be on gov [dot] uk website.
Me in 2018.

Here it is. The lady in the audience cites "over 500 deaths". The official figure was 120,000 #DWPdeaths in 2015, and that was fudged. DWP reported 10,600 deaths 2010/11, then they stopped publishing. #BBCQT #WelfareCuts

I've seen people criticise #WelfareCuts arguing we're giving money to migrants when we shouldn't.
Remember, Theresa May redefined overseas students as 'migrants' to boost the numbers. Hiding #DWPdeaths was the big reason.
Disability News Service @johnpringdns Brilliant intervention by the ace @kate_ginn on #bbcqt, raising the key issue of #benefitdeaths and the need to take money from the wealthy rather than disabled people. #PIP 11:14 PM · Mar 20, 2025 Disability News Service @johnpringdns Sadly the #bbcqt panel did not engage at all with the key point about the harm these cuts will cause. 11:16 PM · Mar 20, 2025
Unusual to get #DWPdeaths mentioned on national TV. That will be a clip worth sharing. What did I say the guesstimate was after 14 years of Tories? A million. It bears repeating that's why nothing is ever done about 'migrants'. Hides the deaths. #BBCQT #WelfareCuts #PIP #UC

Shame for Labour as the UN is forced to intervene AGAIN over the DWP
The United Nations has intervened over the state of the DWP and Universal Credit - slamming Labour's refusal to scrap the two-child limit #DWPDeaths #NoMoreBenefitDeaths 👇
