You get cars based on how many points you score for mobility on your PIP assessment, not for a specific illness. Kemi knows this, other politicians spouting it know this and so do all the news orgs sharing this btw
🚨🎥 WATCH: Kemi Badenoch announces Motability cars will be for those with serious disabilities only "Those cars are not for people with ADHD"

Starmer says there’s a “moral case” for forcing those with mental health issues into work, but morally speaking we should care more about how many die at the hands of the DWP My column for @TheCanaryUK

Prime minister Keir Starmer just laid into mental health in a cruel bid to cut DWP benefits and coerce disabled people into work.

Earlier this week, Pat McFadden rewrote welfare history in his LPC speech - but he missed out that disabled people have had to fight the DWP every step of the way. Luckily for him, I literally wrote the fucking book on disability rights activism. https://t.co/L2BuwCoSrk

Disabled people voted for survival. Labour voted for war. We are dying in the jobcentre queue. We are dying in unheated homes. We are dying under bombs abroad. Whether by cuts or by missiles, our lives are treated as expendable. Labour has chosen war over welfare, power over

Care, not killing! Disabled people in are dying. From cuts. From inaccessible healthcare. From a system designed to abandon us. Labour promised to change this - but nothing has changed. We don't need more excuses. We need justice. We need survival.

Disabled people die first in every disaster - because governments refuse to plan for us. That's not nature. That's policy. #GenocideAbroadDemocideAtHome #DisabilityRebellion #WelfareNotWarfare #DPAC #CareNotCuts @Dis_PPL_Protest @GMCDP @McrDPAC @TakingThePIP1

Reshuffle continues to affect disabled people. Jacqui Smith, currently DfE Skills minister, will also be across McFadden's new DfE-DWP SUPER MINISTRY. Interestingly, she's also the women and equalities minister, whilst she's moved to a ministry hellbent on deepening inequality

30p Lee's language is very deliberate here. He doesn't directly say cutting disability benefits or making them harder to qualify for. Instead, he points to families with multiple kids with ADHD, which many older voters believe is faked

Not to be pedantic, but the uk government doesnt have a welfare department. The American one does, however https://t.co/Zh9AFttnmL
My Great News. During @Nigel_Farage final speech yesterday he announced that I would be @reformparty_uk Welfare Spokesman. What qualifies me for this? I spent many years working with Citizens Advice Bureaux in Ashfield, Mansfield, Eastwood and Beeston. The bulk of our work

So @patmcfaddenmp is now in charge of Work and Pensions. Here is his voting record on such matters. Pat, we are watching you to make sure your time at the DWP reflects that voting record. #Reshuffle #dwp #disabled #disability #benefitcuts #benefits #pip #UniversalCredit
