Thanks to some promptly submitted FOIs, we now know a bit more about the impact of the recently-announced PIP cuts, where those awarded less than 4 points in all daily living activities will be affected.
As of Jan 2025, almost half (46%) of PIP recipients do not meet the 4 points requirement.

The OBR has not yet been able to forecast any employment gain from the cuts/changes to incapacity & disability benefits
MPs are being asked to support around £6.5bn of cuts & increased conditionality for ill & disabled people without any clear assessment of what it will achieve

🚨 CONFIRMED: Social security for disabled people has been slashed in the Spring Statement.
This is cruel, irresponsible and shameful.
People at food banks are already telling us that they’re terrified about how they will survive.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.
Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
