A Commons committee has called on ministers to delay billions of pounds of cuts until they have carried out “an independent and comprehensive assessment” of the impact they could have on disabled people. https://t.co/1z2kt1BOGS

🗣️"These cuts won't save any money. The costs don't go if you cut benefits they get pushed around the system." Our campaigner Mikey on @BBCPoliticsLDN making clear that the cuts will achieve nothing but pain for Disabled people. MPs must vote against them tomorrow. , 👇

There's just ONE day until MPs vote on disability benefit cuts. The government's concessions do not go far enough - the consequences will still be devastating. Join the 1,900 people who have already taken action and ask your MP to vote against the cuts. https://t.co/aiOQF5QkZq
