Speaking up for constituents is representation not insubordination. I stand in solidarity with people who speak up for human rights regardless of the likelihood of personal consequences. Govt must stop silencing voices - it’s a dangerous tactic. #TakingThePip #BinUCBill #whip.

Following debate on the UC&PIP Bill? Pick up on the mention from @sianberry about the use of Money Bill regs? I urge you PLEASE read this @publiclawprojct blog- This is no longer the UC&PIP bill- it's likely be a UC & SKIP (scrutiny) bill. This is scandalous. #BinUCBill.
Today, the Government's welfare changes return to Parliament. After that, they are ‘expected to be certified as a Money Bill’. But what does that mean?. In short: Money Bills face considerably less scrutiny. Today may be the last chance for amendments.

Simply everyone is calling for change at #DWP. We @AmnestyUK decided to help them out with a rebrand. Far from delivering social security it is now the #DeptOfWorkAndPoverty. If they don't #BinUCBill and stop #TakingThePIP this will be even more of an accurate description.
Today the government votes on shameful plans to cut social security. So we decided to help them out - with a rebrand 👇

The government published an impact assessment overnight highlighting that 750,000 people will likely be on the lower rate of UC health (£50 per week) by 2030. They admit disabled people and women will be much more affected than others. Poverty is a political choice. Publishing.
🚨PLEASE SHARE WIDELY🚨. Today, MPs will vote on cutting £3,000 a year from 750,000 low-income sick and disabled people deemed too ill to work. That’s a £2 BILLION cut. This has had hardly any media coverage. And the Government snuck out the Impact Assessment only last night.

I'm channeling Alanis to ask MPs to #BinUCBill. Isn’t it #Ironic?. Toast champagne with the rich last night-slash support for the poor today. No room at the table for #DisabledPeople, but plenty of gold-plated chairs for a #StateVisit. Ask your MP to vote no. Tell them poverty
