Important to note the level of knowledge & understanding of social security issues amongst those signing this amendment vs how poorly advised PM & Treasury are by Spads who don't grasp the details or implications of proposed PIP cuts @ukl

Voters want politicians who engage with detail to make good laws. 100+ MP's listen to their constituents and do exactly that. But the media want to frame it as all about political power.

This bill will push disabled people into poverty. And have catastrophic consequences for years to come. Read and share the Joseph Rowntree Foundation NEF Trussell Scope CitizensAdvice Mind & others briefing on the scale of issues this bill will create. ucpipbill.co.uk

Anyone who has read the details of the proposed cut to support for disabled people knows this is untrue. So is the PM as poorly advised on disability issues as he appears to be or is he simply lying to his MP's? @ukl

This has now shifted beyond discipline or fiscal credibility. It’s a punitive, flawed policy that weakens the safety net, harms disabled people, and risks destroying Labour’s moral authority & electoral future. Voters aren’t just watching what we cut - but who we protect.

Funny how Reeves & Starmer are so incapable of seeing what The Labour Party MP's & the public can. It's not the rebels who could devastate the govt; it's poor advice, stubbornness & complete inability to read the room.

We still await anyone in the government making the “moral” case for cutting thousands of pounds a year from people with disabilities. The silence on that front speaks volumes.

Important to understand that so called concessions to the slashing of support disabled people rely on are no such thing The Labour Party The cumulative impact of multiple areas of impairment can be more disabling than a single more severe issue

It is astonishing how poorly informed Starmer is about PIP & the impacts of disability. Even more astonishing that he's being advised to make it a 'moral' case for cutting support to help people get on and off the toilet UCLA

Whatever these 'concessions' are, it's self evidently clear they do not include upholding the The Labour Party manifesto commitment to work 'with' disabled people. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Imagine you finally get the opportunity to govern the U.K. and top of your list of people who need to be dealt with due to imagined privilege, are …disabled people claiming crucial benefits in order to live.

A cynic might suggest the biggest impact of these 'concessions' is to stop large numbers of visibly disabled people telling the media their fears if they lose PIP The Labour Party But that'd require more understanding of disability & social security issues than No. 10 appear to have

Pundits are framing the welfare bill chaos as Downing Street’s failure to communicate the moral case for the cuts - but there is no moral case. That’s the problem. These are staggering assaults on support that won’t help disabled people into work. No one can sell that.

What's playing out in the Commons is utter madness. We don't even know what the new scoring criteria will be when the new scoring system comes in. There's not a single MP, including the secretary of state, including the prime minister, who knows what they're actually voting on

The latest The Labour Party narrative that hungry children must stay in poverty because of those workshy, scrounging disableds is utterly foul. No. 10 would be well advised to listen more to their elected MP's and much less to Maurice Glasman.
