“It's like saying it's acceptable to use disabled people's lives as a bargaining chip... the new move is even more disingenuous" Actor and disability activist Natalie Amber on reported Government concessions to rebel Labour MPs over some of its welfare reforms. #Newsnight

Rosie Jones on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg #TakingThePIP #DisabilityRebellion #WelfareNotWarfare

#WelfareReformBill #TakingThePIP #LCWRA Government "ensuring disabled people at heart of our plans" Really?

The Bill we voted on tonight is still unamended. The 4-point PIP rule is still there. Over 700,000 sick & disabled people will lose their UC health element — around £3,000 a year each. Billions in cruel disability cuts. I voted against this bill.

Proper Labour.

This was such a passionate brilliant moment in the debate

MPs voted for the welfare bill – but what the hell is actually going on?? My Canary column this week is equal parts confusion and swearing thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20… #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare #DisabilityRebellion

Your regular reminder: no major mental illness—schizophrenia, bipolar, schizoaffective, cPTSD, personality disorder, severe anxiety—is constant, disqualifying us from the new ‘severe condition’ criteria. Please, please write to your MP askign them to vote 'no'. #TakingThePIP

Thanks to Shane Brown for this. The Department for Work and Pensions did not consult a SINGLE disability group on the proposed PIP eligibility changes before the Green Paper was published. Labour really doesn't care about disabled people. #TakingThePIP #DisabilityRebellion

SEVERE CONDITION CRITERIA The Green Paper is diminished, but please lobby against the ‘severe condition criteria’—a hugely dangerous and discriminatory change to UC health rules that would drastically increase new claimants’ financial and psychological precarity. #TakingThePIP

Labour MPs were given their final warning by disabled activists at a sweltering rally outside parliament on Monday that, if they vote for cuts to disability benefits, the “gloves will be off”. #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-activ…

6) Abraham Maslow said if people can't meet their basic survival needs - food, fuel & shelter - all of their efforts or 'bandwidth' - is taken up with simply struggling to survive. Poverty robs people of incentives and potential. It reduces us.

11) Disability Rights UK reports The "Deaths by Welfare" project is tracking deaths linked to welfare reform, indicating a broader pattern of harm. Several other organisations are also tracking the harms and deaths happening as a consequence of a punitive 'welfare' system

Politicians often talk about saving the children because they're our future. What are we doing for their future? Is destroying the planet not enough? Now the #UniversalCreditBill is attacking disabled young people. 1/2 #DisabilityRebellion #CripsAgainstCuts

Crips Against Cuts have drafted a template letter you can use to write to your MP calling on them to vote against the UC bill. #BinUCBill #DisabilityRebellion #TakingThePIP #CripsAgainstCuts docs.google.com/document/d/1av…

Frances Ryan It angers me so much that #Labour ministers have the audacity to blame principled backbenchers for this when they never had any intention of scrapping the two child benefit cap right off the bat. Hell, they even excommunicated MPs who voted for the change! #TakingThePIP #Starmer

12pm, Wednesday, 9th July. Tweet as much as you can with #BinUCBill #DisabilityRebellion #TakingThePIP #CripsAgainstCuts If we managed to remove PIP from this disastrous bill, we can do it to UC too.
