Hi Boots I just went into your Oxford St (Bond St) store and asked where the lift was to go upstairs & was turned away because it “doesn’t work”. Absolutely no effort to ask what I wanted or help me make my purchases - WTF #DisabilityDiscrimination

I understand Starmer’s offer to the welfare rebel MPs is to protect PIP payments for all existing claimants forever. There would be no detriment from the reforms for existing claimants. This would shave circa £2bn from the reform savings by 2029. I an pretty clear that with

When MPs vote on Tuesday, we're voting on whether to introduce a 4-point rule for PIP. That rule means disabled people who'll need help to go to the toilet, cut up food or wash can be denied PIP. If the Bill passes, the 4-point rule will be law, regardless of any PIP review.

PIP is not an in or out of work benefit. It’s a qualifying one. Would be good if people understood this. It needs proper reform

UPDATE: In a major u-turn, Keir Starmer has now scrapped the entire PIP section of the welfare bill. The Timms review will report back in autumn 2026 and, as it is being conducted with disability groups, is highly unlikely to opt for four-point eligibility criteria. This

MPs and much of the media have spun a false narrative about tonight’s Universal Credit vote. The PIP pause has created the myth the government has fully u-turned on its disability cuts. But £2 billion is about to be pulled from the sickest and poorest people in the country.
