Can't cook, dress, eat, or toilet unaided? Soon, that won’t qualify you for help. 1.3 million disabled people face losing support. Read that again. #PIP 👇😞

They won’t win any votes because the people they’re trying to appeal to will vote for Reform. This is going to ultimately cause a schism in the Labour Party unless Starmer/McSweeny and several of the front bench can be replaced.

It won't. The RW rags will support this and claim it doesn't go far enough. Labour will commission some polling and that polling will show these cuts to be favourable. What's getting to me is the number of Labour voters on here saying 'well, that's a bit shit but look at all the good stuff.' 1/2

Even when you make them aware of the sheer devastation all this will cause they don't want to discuss it be they DO want to discuss 'all the good stuff that hasn't cut through because the Comms haven't been good.' It feels like we're not being listened to, by the very ppl who should have our backs.

Honestly feels like they are mostly supportive of these cuts under the misapprehension that we are somehow making these real world numbers up and that the Labour Party won't leave people in destitution. Then immediately go back to discussing 'Can't expect immediate change after 14 yrs of Tories.'

Yeah. I am really shocked by the amount of Liberal and Labour supporters who think decimating the lives of Disabled people is perfectly fine. It’s appalling and so are they. And the amount of people who said I was lying when I told them real figures. Then the, oh, but it’s not even Law yet 🤦🏻♀️
apr 29, 2025, 5:05 am • 2 0 • view
Yes. I've had several ppl completely dismiss everything I've been saying because they've checked the parliamentary schedule and the vote to go ahead with these cuts ( reported in multiple news outlets and on disability websites as going ahead at the end of May/ start of June, ) isn't on there yet.

It's abhorrent. It's the antithesis of the labour movement and honestly even if they back off at the last second they have still lost my vote forever for even considering this bullshit. I'm furious on behalf of every disabled person out there.

Can't help thinking it's a wider plan, we'll hoping because they haven't shown any compassion so far. They'll keep the 4 point thing but drop the requirement to have a PIP award to be able to claim the health element of UC. But massively cut the amount you receive for the HE. Saving on both UC 1/2
apr 29, 2025, 6:53 am • 1 0 • view
and PIP but giving ground on the PIP award being required for the health element of UC. It would keep a lot of people quiet. We'd still be fvcked. Just a little less fvcked than the initial proposals. Would fit in with the current position of trying to be just a little bit better than the tories.

Then you point out to them that the consultations amount to 7 ticketed events that most people can't attend and of the 20 proposals in the green paper only 11 are up for discussion. And not one of those is about the finances. We're being stonewalled by everyone from every direction.

How can the Labour front bench think that such disabilities don’t qualify for help? How can they honestly think that? I am no expert, but do I need to be an expert to say that I know that people who can’t cook, dress, eat, use the toilet unaided should get support from the state I pay for?

The uncertainty is huge if you are trans. The prospect of being challenge by a terf vigilante must be terrifying. Women who don't conform to whatever other women deem acceptable are at risk too. As for trans men the official position is crazy. Fortunately they aren't likely to be challenged

I don't think assessments are a bad thing, there are malingerers who should be weeded out. But assessments definitely should not be done by private contractors with built in financial incentives to boot as many people off benefits as possible. That was immoral.
