Was great to be at one of the opening events today talking about all things access and inclusion!

Breaking: We are delighted to share that our client Ellen Clifford has won her case against the DWP over an unlawful consultation held on reforms tightening the #WorkCapabilityAssessment. These reforms would lead to over 400,000 people being worse off by at least £416 a month.

Labour is expected to finalise a package of benefit cuts in the next fortnight in a “radical overhaul” that could affect hundreds of thousands of disabled people. My col. in today’s paper on a system that expects those with the least to lose the most.  theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

It’s that time of year again! The Guardian is opening its two-week work experience for underrepresented journalists: disabled people, POC, and now working class. It is paid at the London living wage. This scheme changed my life. Go on, give it a go: workforus.theguardian.com/entry-level-op…

Labour’s reported disability benefit cuts are not just about budgeting but a belief: paid work is a virtue (and people who don’t perform it deserve a worse life than everyone else). My col. in tomorrow’s paper. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Labour’s narrative “describes a country in which poverty is caused by low aspiration and disability is a choice, by people who simply aren’t robust enough to be well. This country doesn’t exist.” Thanks @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social for this storming piece. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site. If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

When this government says disabled people ought to work, we ask: Where are the jobs? The level-access commuter trains? The accessible homes? The carers to dress me at 6am? (Right, Brexit made them leave.) The reduction in wait times for Access to Work, Wheelchair Services?

The government has announced the most devastating cuts to disability benefits on record. These plans should shame the government to its core. Here's our initial response to the new Welfare Green Paper 🧵👇

Yesterday, the government announced billions of pounds worth of cuts to disability benefits. We know that this is an extremely worrying time for disabled people. Here’s what we know so far 🧵

“I can’t sleep, I’m so scared.” My report in tomorrow’s Guardian on the disability benefit cuts “domino effect”: losing PIP will see unpaid carers lose their benefits too - pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once. theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

Calls for a #WealthTax are growing - and government's excuses are looking more and more feeble. This week's rally showed the energy of this movement and the breadth of support (78% of the public!) for this common sense policy. Now we keep the pressure up!

Dear Labour MP. If you are going to be voting for or against changes to #disabilitybenefits that could devastate the lives of an estimated million-plus people, I’d like to think three minutes of your time is a fair exchange. It has been reported that 100 Labour MPs have

Reducing #DisabilityBenefits may masquerade as fiscal prudence, yet it inflates long-term costs through increased healthcare dependency and intensified social crises. True economic wisdom recognizes robust disability support not as mere compassion, but prudent fiscal foresight.

Breaking: Labour MPs have launched a rebellion against the government’s disability benefits cuts. Up to 100 MPs, including senior figures, have signed an amendment designed to kill the bill. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
