.Glasgow Disability Alliance Inclusion Scotland Disability Equality Scotland Disability Rights UK DPAC feel abandoned by @Ukgov #MPs and are asking why MPs are being rushed to vote on a bill which will push hundreds of thousands of disabled ple AND children into poverty? #ScrapTheBill #PressPause

Disability Pride Month begins today✨ Now in its 35th year, this is time to celebrate the creativity, resilience, and achievements of disabled people. It's a chance to embrace disability identity positively, and challenge the negative attitudes that hold disabled people back.

Amongst all the noise, we are sending our solidarity to all Disabled people watching on as we see our lives, our impairments and our survival debated in the halls of Parliament. Beyond the political spectacle, it is real lives that will be impacted by these cuts.

Government backtracking and concessions makes it ever more clear: this bill is not fit for purpose, and does not even have the support of their own party. MPs must vote against it!

Incensed so many MPs chose to ignore #DPOs & the disabled people they are supposed to represent, by voting for the rushed & unjust UC & PIP Bill. Concessions were made, but hundreds of thousands will still lose out. We will continue to fight this attack on disabled people.

Thanks to those MPs who listened to disabled ple & were courageous and honest in voting to bring down the unjust, unfair and unethical UC & PIP BILL. This will be remembered by Glasgow Disability Alliance Inclusion Scotland Disability Equality Scotland Disability Rights UK DPAC & deaf & disabled ple-led orgs
