The rich & powerful thrive on silence. Ignoring fundraisers means disabled people stay invisible, unsupported, unheard.
Sharing is an act of resistance. #WelfareReformBill #DisabilityRights

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

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
#WelfareReformBill
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
What the right-wing US administration is doing to welfare could be expected – but it is galling that the more left-wing government in the UK is also savaging the benefits system. #WelfareReformBill @maryohara1.bsky.social

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.

On Tuesday the #WelfareReformBill – proposing changes to the benefits system – was passed into law.
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?

The £5 Billion U-Turn That is Destroying Keir Starmer #DamoRants #WelfareReformBill youtu.be/LWkO1bscayI

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.
