- Over 40 Labour MPs have expressed strong opposition to proposed disability cuts, calling for a pause and change in direction ahead of a significant House of Commons vote next month.
- The proposed changes include tightening eligibility for personal independent payments and potential cuts to incapacity benefits, affecting 700,000 families already in poverty, and sparking anxiety among disabled individuals and their families.
- The letter from MPs urges the government to conduct full impact assessments and engage with disabled people’s organizations to create a supportive and less complex system, with an emphasis on job creation and protection against discrimination.
More ammo for Reform by trying to appeal to their base. They realise people voted for labour right? I get we have to recoup after 14 years of giving our taxes to the rich but we’re going to just have the country over to a party that will promise the earth and deliver more corruption.
Glad we got rid of Corbyn though eh?..
