I voted against Ā£2 billion of disability benefit cuts last night. Deep cuts to an already broken system will see more families forced into hardship. Disabled people in Poole and across the UK deserve a welfare state rooted in fairness. I'll keep speaking up for Labour values

The Government isn't telling MPs how its disability benefit cuts will hit people already in poverty. 3/4 UC Health recipients face deprivation - future claimants will see their incomes fall, forcing disabled people deeper into poverty. Iām voting to remove cuts from the Bill!.
Hundreds of thousands of people in poverty will still lose Ā£thousands because of the Universal Credit Bill. Julia Modern from the Disability Poverty Campaign Group explains how impact assessments hide the reality. Tell your MP to vote against the bill:

MPs can vote today to remove the UC Health cut for future claimants from the welfare bill. If they don't, it will push 50,000 into poverty. 75% of current UC Health recipients already face material deprivation - future claimants will be even worse off. Vote to remove the cuts.

Scrapping PIP cuts was right. But tomorrow, MPs vote on a UC Health cut ripping Ā£2 BILLION from disabled people - this will push 50,000 into poverty. 75% on UC Health already face deprivation. This will drive them deeper into hardship. Iām voting to remove cuts from the Bill.
The welfare bill would still force 50,000 people into poverty āĀ we must remove the cuts entirely. āļø @NeilForPoole

Reforming our pension system needs to work in the interest of savers, as well as the environment and wider society.

The Disability Benefit Cuts Bill will rip Ā£2 BILLION from disabled peopleās incomes. 4.8 million disabled people already live in poverty - this will push more over the edge. Ministers should accept my amendments to remove the cuts from the Bill.

The Government is proposing Ā£2 BILLION in cuts to disabled people. Ministers should accept my proposals to remove the cuts from the Bill. This would let the positive elements pass without making disabled people poorer. We must not balance the books on disabled peoples backs.

The Disability Benefit Cuts Bill will unleash a domino effect of hardship for carers. Many are disabled themselves so in future won't get the support they rely on. PIP is a āpassportā to Carerās Allowance, some families will lose both - around Ā£9,000 a year. Iām voting NO.

These proposals will still force disabled people into poverty. I oppose a two-tier approach where the support you get depends on when you applied - not on need. Thereās a fairer, more Labour way. Let's ask wealthy corporations and individuals to pay - not the disabled.
NEW: Welfare concessions. Liz Kendall sets out compromise to MPs in letter just published. 1/ All of those currently receiving PIP will stay within the current system. Nee eligibility requirements will be implemented from Nov 2026 for new claims only. 2/All existing recipients

The Government needs to withdraw the Disability Benefit Cuts Bill and redesign the benefits system with disabled people's organisations. No last minute deal to find concessions can deliver the improvements disabled people need. Back to the drawing board!.

Iāve signed this Reasoned Amendment to stop the Disability Benefit Cuts Bill. I didnāt become an MP to make disabled people poorer. The Labour Government needs to withdraw the Bill and go back to the drawing board.

The Disability Benefit Cuts Bill has been published. On average PIP recipients will lose Ā£4,500 a year. These are the deepest cuts to disability benefits since George Osborne - impacting 3 million people. This won't create jobs, it will create poverty. MPs must vote against.

Iām Voting No to:. ā¾ļøĀ£7 billion in disability benefit cuts. ā¾ļøDriving over 400,000 people into poverty, including up to 100,000 children. ā¾ļøImpacting 3 million families, including 700,000 already in poverty. These cuts will destroy lives. MPs must vote against.
šØNEWSšØ. 15 Labour MPs joined us today to take a public stand and say they are voting NO to disability benefit cuts. More need convincing - we don't think any MP could vote for these cuts with a clear conscience. š·Photo: David Mirzoeff .

This is not a concession - these proposals were in the Green Paper. I hope colleagues will see that Ā£7 billion in cuts will make disabled people poorer. No amount of warm words mask the reality - cuts donāt create jobs they create austerity. Iām voting NO.
EXCL: Ministers to offer mutinous Labour MPs an olive branch on governmentās welfare plans to help avert major rebellion in crucial vote early next month. 1/ Hundreds of thousands of people who will no longer qualify for Pip will continue to receive payments for 13 weeks. 2/ The.

I welcome funding for Poole Hospital in the Spending Review. The positives will be undermined if Ministers push on with disability benefit cuts - forcing people to crisis and piling pressure on the NHS. We need an ambitious vision for change rooted in Labour values.

I'm backing @CHinchliffMP's Amendment 69 today. My constituents cherish our natural landscape - they don't want green spaces destroyed by developers. I urge Ministers to back this constructive amendment.
