Today, I joined a huge lobby of Parliament, led by disabled people, against the proposed cuts to disability support. I made clear once again: these cuts are cruel and unjustifiable and must be dropped. If the Government refuses to drop them, I will vote against them.

Cut our PIP and disabled blood’s on your hands.

#WelfareReformBill The “concessions” are a sham It will create a two tier PIP system & divide the disabled people’s community. Disabled People have not been consulted on these and there’s no information. To MPs stand firm on Voting ❌No and Bin the welfare reform bill

24 hours to go until I present my petition in Parliament: Tax Wealth, Don't Cut Disability Support. Over 75,000 people have already signed. A Wealth Tax could raise £24 BILLION per year - six times more than what will be saved by these cuts. Sign below. chng.it/2pq56bHC9t

📣 #DisabilityPrideMonth

This isn’t just history.
It’s lived trauma.

Romans threw us off cliffs.
Tudors hid us.
Victorians locked us away.
Nazis murdered us.
Now? We’re cut from care,  PIP &amp; punished for existing.

We’ve always fought back.
We’re not done.
