Upcoming this week!

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

CARDIFF 5:30pm Fri 29 Aug Holiday Inn, Port Road

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking. Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

Ofcom is letting GB News get away with calls to shoot disabled people and anti trans slurs because it's "in line with audience expectations for this channel". If the regulator won't regulate, then why do they exist? bylinetimes.com/2025/08/21/o...

A senior Labour MP has been heavily criticised by disabled activists after telling the prime minister she felt “ashamed” of the government’s plans to cut billions of pounds from disability benefits, despite voting for some of the cuts herself. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/criticism-fo...

Disabled People will NOT go quietly. MPs have chosen to ignore the calls of disabled campaigners across the country and vote through the UC Bill. We will continue to fight cuts to disability benefits, now and always 📣 #WelfareNotWarfare

MPs have just voted to pass the cruel and devastating UC Bill. Disabled people will not go quietly, and we will continue to fight unjust cuts to welfare and public services. Solidarity from DPAC Cymru with disabled people across the UK in this challenging and upsetting time 💚

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The Government's Universal Credit Bill has passed, rushing it through in one day, without a committee stage where Disabled people's voices could have been heard. It's clear: the government views Disabled lives as nothing more than a cost-cutting exercise

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Starmer’s Labour.

The government has dismissed all the charities, refused to do any risk assessments, and ignored the UN who tried to intervene this week - pushing through billions in welfare cuts that are going to kill vulnerable and disabled people. Labour have blood on their hands, like the Tories before them.

Thank you to @zarahsultana.bsky.social for saying the names of Errol Graham, Jodey Whiting and Stephen Smith, who died at the hands of DWP sanctions. 'Their deaths were not a tragic exception, but a political consequence. The human cost of decisions made in Parliament.' #BinUCBill

Thousands of disabled people face a disproportionate impact from the cuts that remain in the Bill. We thank MPs who listened to us and bravely opposed it. We will continue to resist this disastrous Bill and all other attacks on our rights.

The Government's concessions completely ignore the thousands of Disabled people on Universal Credit with LCWRA. They are still proposing this be slashed from £416 to just over £200. This bill cannot be salvaged by concessions - it must be scrapped.

Disabled people on Universal Credit already struggle to pay rent, heating and food bills. A two-tier system is not good enough on PIP - equally, it is not good enough on Universal Credit. The Government's incoherent and dangerous cuts MUST be dropped.

Today is the second reading of the Government's PIP and UC Bill, that has used Disabled people's lives as pawns in their book balancing exercise. We'll be there with DPAC outside Parliament protesting these unthinkable cuts - join us!

With the UC and PIP Bill having it's second reading today, we're using #CoproductionWeek as an opportunity to say: Any reform to disability benefits should start and end with Disabled people and our lived experience. This bill MUST be voted down.

DWP “Thatcherite” welfare cuts condemned in scathing report by disabled people "We’ve gone beyond co-production – disabled people must run the DWP" is the verdict of a sweeping and scathing response to the government www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Chaos at the DWP as more MPs rebel against Labour's PIP 'concessions' It seems that while some MPs have rolled over regarding Labour's assault on disabled people, others can see straight through these 'concessions' www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...
