The Universal Credit Bill passed with a majority of 84 votes

Remember each MP who voted for that bill on Wednesday and hold them to account for it

The Guardian view on Labour’s welfare mess: attempting to hide its cuts triggered a rebellion too big to punish | Editorial Editorial: The bill’s passage through the Commons exposed moral fault lines in Labour and revived hard questions about the nature of the benefits changes

MPs came out and supported DPAC lobby before the vote on the UC Bill

Disabled people who hold placards are with MPs who came out of Parliament to show solidarity to the tireless campaigning

Yesterday @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social & allies held a lobby in Parliament before the vote on the UC Bill

Thank you to all MPs who showed and stood with disabled people across the UK

Disabled will lose £3,000 a year in 'stain on the Labour Party' plans, MPs told Labour backbencher Rachael Maskell told the Commons that welfare reforms that would cut the Universal Credit health aspect would be a 'stain on this great party'

We tried everything to stop this

Over the last year @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social & allies have thrown everything we had at this pernicious Labour Government. Day in day out we have fought. 15 years before that the Tories.
We need to recharge the batteries and come back fighting

We’ll be back

The Welfare Reform Bill is back in Parliament today and planned cuts to Universal Credit risk pushing the most vulnerable even deeper into poverty. MPs must make a stand. Time to scrap the Bill and put disabled people first.

As a result of campaigning, some of the previously proposed changes to #PersonalIndependencePayments (PIP) were removed from the bill. 💪

It would be terrible if images like this were shared every time pro-cuts MPs try to promote themselves/get re-elected, wouldn't it?

On the #DWPGreenPaper and the #WelfareReformBill the Government is marking its own homework. A minister can't both represent disabled people and prioritise cutting their access to welfare — or deliver an impartial review of PIP assessment criteria while also delivering the cuts.
