Powerful words by Richard Burgon MP just now, but sadly I believe many will be persuaded by fake last-minute concessions from #DWP ministers: 'Any Labour MP who votes for this bill... that vote will hang like an albatross around their necks.' #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare

Chaotic, rushed-through concessions drawn up on the back of a napkin are no way to make policy that will affect millions of people. MPs must vote NO on benefit cuts, and work with Disabled people to coproduce reforms to welfare that help Disabled people instead of punishing us.

This legislation will have life-altering consequences for disabled people. Briefing last-minute changes without time to debate, scrutinise and consider the effects shows desperation to rush it through and disregard for those impacted. Even now, we still have time to scrap it.

The welfare bill has passed but it’s barely the same bill. It’s government by cut and paste and with such chaotic speed, many ministers will barely know what’s in it. An utter shambles - and horrific unnecessary stress and suffering for disabled and sick people watching on.

Vastly eroded majority and bare bones of the initial bill that they attempted to push through. We got them to concede, we will fight until they scrap the bill - our fight is not over yet!

Ever wondered what PIP is or why some disabled people get it? It’s not “free money.” It’s not “extra help.” It’s a lifeline in an inaccessible world. Disabled people face on average £1,095 in avoidable extra costs per month. #TakingThePIP #DisabilityBenefits

Chaotic events in parliament on Tuesday, and three months of activism since the publication of the Pathways to Work green paper, have left disabled people’s organisations appalled, shocked, and struggling to trust the government. #binUCbill disabilitynewsservice.com/disastrous-cut…

🚨‼️We don’t trust a word you say. You’ve cut #AccessToWork while DECEIVING & BETRAYING #disabled people with a sham #PathwaysToWork ATW consultation. Here’s an example how you ended Touretteshero’s career⬇️ 🛑 #VoteNo #BinUCBill #DisabilityBenefits touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a-c…

We have less than 48hrs to let MPs know that we need to stop this bill. It creates a 2tier system of support in our country. It removes support entirely for young people under 22. Please please do this for our society. Easily generate a letter to your MP takingthepip.co.uk/write-to-your-…

Labour has a Disability problem. I don't think many at a senior level realise that, it's hard for anyone to admit prejudice. Nevertheless it's there in their language and behaviours. They can change this, but they have to want to do it.

Rachael Maskell gave an emotional and impassioned speech that primarily centred on disabled being human beings who deserve care, support and respect - that speech touched a LOT of people, and this will read to many people as her being punished for recognising our basic humanity.
