This government made a political choice to make life harder for the sick and disabled.
Well done to those MPs who had the courage to speak up for the marginalised and put their constituents first.
That is what it means to serve the people.

ICE killed this man yesterday. They scared him so badly he jumped off a roof and broke his neck. His name was Jaime Garcia and he was here to send money home to his family. He was not a threat to anybody and he was doing the work nobody else would do.
