Without fixing social care, this NHS plan could be the most expensive sticking plaster in history. It appears Labour are borrowing from the Conservative playbook - ignoring the social care crisis because it’s just too hard. But if care and family carers are only ever an

"These issues around welfare growing are a symptom of a problem. The problem is we haven't fixed the NHS, we're not fixing social care, which is a huge long term thing that no government's grappling with.". Anna Sabine

“I'm really concerned that we won't see any meaningful reform in social care in the course of this Parliament.”. @HelenMorganMP

The government promised change—now they're cutting support for disabled people and stalling to fix our broken social care system. This crisis is a mess of the government's own making and people deserve better.

The Government should scrap their failed Welfare Bill altogether and work cross-party to actually bring down welfare costs by getting people into work.

"Benefit costs are too high, but we must invest to save and support people back into work.". @SteveDarlingMP

The Government needs to go back to the drawing board and pull this bill. The Liberal Democrats are clear we cannot support this legislation that puts up more barriers to work and strips away vital support from disabled people and those who care for them.

This has been a mess from start to finish and it’s clear that this legislation is not fit for purpose. Ministers are asking MPs to vote on a bill on which the ink hasn’t dried before it is blotted out once again.

The Government should stop tying themselves in endless knots and put this bill out of its misery.

"We should not be abandoning some of the most vulnerable in our society.". @SteveDarlingMP

Countless people rely on this support to stay in work and just go about their daily lives. To strip that away from them is not only senseless but cruel. The government must scrap this bill and go back to the drawing board.

"Rushed legislation is poor legislation. The benefit system does need reform, but not like this.". @SteveDarlingMP

"Prime Minister and many ministers have identified that the benefits system is broken and the cost of it is skyrocketing, but balancing the books on the backs of the poor is wrongheaded in the extreme.". "The proposals today are a leap into the dark.". @SteveDarlingMP

Carers have been ignored by the Government throughout this whole debacle, their voice must now be heard loud and clear. The Government must now go back to the drawing board and pull this bill until they have consulted carers and properly set out the full impacts of these.
