On Nov 3rd, myself, Joy Dove and other activist declared the DWP HQ building in London a crime scene. I also dressed up as the devil to ‘congratulate’ the workers coming in and out for their cruel and evil work. Just simply protesting that life is not a cost to cut.

Dear Policy Exchange,
PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. So why are you trying to score political points by insisting young people on #PIP must work, volunteer or go into training?
PIP enables disabled people to do these things. Cutting it will do the opposite.
Thanks
