Fab response from people at our stall yesterday!

Today the UC and PIP Bill is scheduled for Second Reading in the House of Commons.

Never allow your MP to forget: if today they vote for cuts, abstain on the bill, or vote for concessions, they are gone! #WelfareNotWarfare

"A last-minute napkin deal will not assure safety for disabled people. The concessions create an unfair two-tier system – it is unethical to only throw some people under the bus."

A protest outside the UK Parliament features disabled activists using mobility scooters. One person holds a sign with the Labour Party logo that reads, "PUSHING THE DISABLED INTO POVERTY." Another raises their fist in protest. The image is overlaid with text summarizing a Guardian article by Frances Ryan titled "Worse than anything under the Tories’: changes to welfare bill anger disability campaigners." The caption states that government concessions have failed to appease disabled people’s groups, who fear future poverty. The post is branded as “Long Covid News” by Long Covid Advocacy.

Don’t let the progress pride flag on his window fool you - Chris Murray refuses to stand up for marginalised people. #CripsAgainstCuts #ChrisMurray #WelfareNotWarfare #KillTheBill #Edinburgh
Photo of a group of people and a service dog outside Chris Murray’s office holding sings. Text reads: “Yesterday morning Crips Against Cuts joined forces with Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty to protest outside MP Chris Murray’s office” Closeup of posters taped on the office’s window. Big posters have an image of scissors and read “say no to disability benefit cuts” Text reads: “Chris Murray is committed to voting FOR the benefit cuts that will put our lives in danger.”

The clock is ticking: On the 1st of July the proposed disability cuts will be debated and voted on.

We must ramp up the fight to not let them be implemented!
