🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨🚨 The United Nations is calling for the UK Government to stop the Universal Credit (PIP) Bill because it will 'deepen the signs of regression' in disabled people's human rights. tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/...

Tell your MP to vote against the Universal Credit (PIP) Bill, it will put 50,000 disabled people into poverty. Also ask them to support these Amendments:

Deadline to apply is rapidly approaching, Monday 7th July!

The Universal Credit and PIP Bill and Green Paper are the wrong policy approach and harmful. The ‘concessions’ do not alter this. We ask MP’s to vote the bill down on Tuesday. Please continue to seek ways to talk to MP’s and their staff to give them this message.

Cuts to disability benefits are riding roughshod over human rights. Poverty is a political choice, and ending it is possible should those in powers choose to. by @jen-jen-clark.bsky.social Economic Social & Cultural Rights Lead at Amnesty International UK leftfootforward.org/2025/04/cuts...

Here's proof that when ministers say they had to cut disability benefits cos 'welfare spending' was spiralling out of control, they are lying. Even before the cuts, it was stable. Q from LibDem @MartinWrigley, answer by minister @StephenCTimms: questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

There is endless repetition of the claim by certain politicians and media that disability benefit spending is out of control, so let's look at the Office for Budget Responsibility's graph and figures. The claim is untrue. obr.uk/docs/dlm_upl...

Andy Burnham @mayorofgm.bsky.social: "what I would say to ministers is listen to what's being said. Great care is needed here for people who can't work. There is no case for reducing their benefits because that will just push people into punishing poverty and I couldn't myself accept that."
