'It's disgraceful that people who earn ยฃ90,000 a year are trying to stop people getting a basic income which doesn't even meet their essential costs on Universal Credit.' ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธOur Head of Policy, Fazilet Hadi, spoke today at the demo outside Parliament #BinUCBill

๐Ÿšจ Weโ€™re shocked and disappointed. The UK government has pushed through HUGE cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people applying in the future. These cuts will be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks.

Since I published this blog on Wednesday, begging (again) my MP Chris Murray MP to vote against the disastrous Universal Credit & Personal Independence Payment Bill, I've found out how he chose to spend his day ๐Ÿงต

A key point to make about Kemi's dog whistle "1 in 4 people are NOT disabled ACTUALLY" rant is that of the 16.1 million disabled people, just 3.7 million get PIP and 2.1 million get the health element of UC. That's 10.3 million or 64% of disabled people who DON'T get benefits

Today, my replies on here have been a masterclass in misunderstanding inflammatory bowel disease. This is why I will scream about it from the rooftops, no matter my platform. People need to understand that IBD is not IBS!!!! IT IS NOT RELATED TO DIET. Crohn's and Colitis are

I beg of the blue ticks still in my mentions to understand 1 in 4 people having a disability is *not* the same thing as 1 in 4 people being on disability benefits. This is not hard, lads! Watch literally anything other than GB News! Google for 45 seconds!

#RealityCheck about numbers and percentages of the population on PIP. Also way to reduce disability is by reducing barriers & structural inequalities: not pretending there are less disabled people say Glasgow Disability Alliance members

Sorry to say that's it. The universal credit bill has been passed. Not a great advert for the #Lords this evening, despite a small number of good speeches by those opposed. Full report by DNS on Thursday. Not feeling thrilled about democracy this evening. #UniversalCreditBill
