In just over 24 hours, 10,000 people have signed my petition calling for wealth taxes, not disability support cuts. I'll present this in Parliament ahead of any vote on these cuts - as part of our campaigning to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts. Sign below 👇

I was reading the Executive Summary of the The Labour Party #DisabilityGreenPaper in tears today. Has it even occurred to Liz Kendall that the increase in #UniversalCredit claimants over recent years might be due to #PhasedMigration? DPAC DPAC Northern Ireland

Thank you to DPAC Northern Ireland for organising today's protest against the devastating welfare cuts put forward by The Labour Party. A mixed group of #DisabledPeople & #Allies spoke out. Thanks to the awesome #SignLanguageInterpreter who interpreted all of them. #WelfareNotWarfare

I'm really emotionally drained today. These cuts are so distressing. They are going to destroy thousands of lives and drain hope from communities across these Islands. Scotland's approach to social security offers a beacon of hope in the midst of it.

To all The Labour Party MPs ahead of a vote on disability benefits, you should ask yourself: Why are cuts being imposed without consultation? Why are the voices of disabled people and other experts being ignored? Why are cuts being made before all impact assessments are available?
