People will die. There is no way to force disabled people who cannot work into work. Taking away money would not “incentivise them”. They will just starve, become homeless and die. But this government is more than aware of this & pushing for it anyway
The government is considering various options to cut the cost of disability benefits. Media reports suggest that one option is the removal of the limited capability for work part of Universal Credit. This would mean that some claimants would lose around £5,000 a year.

#PIP Personal Independence Payments are for a disabled person’s care & mobility needs. Not to determine if a disabled person can work or not. Many disabled people who are working are in receipt of PIP for care and mobility needs It’s important to stress this.

Labour’s manifesto promised to “remove indignities for trans people”, yet the government’s ban on puberty blockers adopts the Tories’ politicised unevidenced approach. Young people — cis & trans — must have access to healthcare they need. I stand firmly with the trans community.

The government’s increase to tuition fees is wrong. Students shouldn’t have to pay tuition this year, or any year. It’s time to abolish tuition fees and cancel student debt because education is a public good, not a commodity.

Abolishing the £2 bus fare cap is a political choice disproportionately hitting the poor. With rising costs & stagnant wages, it’s a step backwards - especially when more accessible transport is needed. The government must reverse this & introduce wealth taxes to fund services.

When accessibility isn't prioritised, this can be the reality of being deaf at school 💔 #WaterlooRoad #Drama #DeafAwareness #DeafEducation #DeafCommunity #SignLanguage #Learning #HearingImpaired #BSL Details of support for some of the issues raised in this video are available
