A powerful statement from Tressa Burke of Glasgow Disability Action.
#solidarity with all those fighting rising hatred of #disabled people across the UK.
To #RachelReeves #LizKendall #PatMcFadden etc- this is what principles look like. #ableistLabour

I know "better late than never" and all that, but there's a lot of performative horror from people saying "I'll never vote Labour again" after Mahmood's latest policy blurt. Really? You were all happy with what went before?

Let's be clear: if Labour had done well, they'd be saying "our tack rightwards is working"; if doing badly, "we need to tack further to the right". There's no strategy here, just a desire to be a right-wing government.

We deserve better. We are human too, these cuts will affect so many as well as me so stop treating us like we’re nothing to you. This government is the worst one I’ve ever seen and they need to go.

Labour uses & abuses disabled & sick benefit claimants the way Tories & Reform use & abuse migrants & asylum seekers.
If you’re not calling out Labour’s ableist culture war, you’re part of the problem.

Meme reads: “A government that refuses to assist people to live lacks the moral integrity to be trusted to assist people to die.”
A government that refuses to assist people to live lacks the moral integrity to be trusted to assist people to end their life.
Labour has a profound ableism problem, exemplified by Reeves & Kendall’s Tory culture war style scapegoating & lie-fuelled vilification of us.
#AbleistLabour
The disabled & long-term sick are useful scapegoats for successive governments to blame for the economic woes of others who have been conditioned to punch down instead of look up.
Tax evasion, avoidance & errors COST us £120bn, unclaimed benefits SAVE us £16bn.
