“I’m a severely disabled single mum, & because of Labour’s changes to #disabilitybenefits I’m facing the loss of £6,000 a year…

Labour is effectively redefining what it means to be disabled, not based on medical reality, but to satisfy Reeves’ fiscal rules.”

People need to realise that the neo-liberal consensus dictates people’s worth is only measured by their value to the market as a unit of labour. Can’t work? Zero value - ‘useless eaters’.

🚨 UK’s shift from DLA to PIP stripped support from 220k+ disabled people via flawed assessments (65% appeals won!). New cuts risk deeper poverty, discrimination. Austerity’s human cost: mental health crises, reliance on food banks. When do we prioritize dignity over cuts? 💔 #DisabilityRights

Surely it tells the lie that if this so called Labour government was seriously interested in getting the disabled into work, they’d strengthen the laws to prevent discrimination or create something a grant system? Anything other than cuts to support. And cuts to access to work as well. FML!

The simple counter to this is look at how the people who want to hit children, were probably hit as children themselves. Breaking the cycle of abuse is good. Imagine wanting the right to hit a child.
