An Appeal to M&S over Transphobia

#TransRightsAreHumanRights “Let trans people use disabled toilets” they say. What nobody is saying is that disabled people who don’t “look disabled” get abused. So are we doubling down on the abuse of both disabled people and trans people just to please the bigots?

The Minister who introduced the Gender Recognition Bill in the House of Lords in 2003 made it clear that "a transsexual person would have protection under the Sex Discrimination Act [the predecessor to the Equality Act] as a person of the acquired sex or gender." /1

Trans rights are human rights. Solidarity with all trans people today and every day. And if you’re celebrating the Supreme Court’s ruling you’re an evil transphobic bigot.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Today we have launched the #DignityDeclaration in response to the Spring Statement.

We are calling for an alternative to the government’s enrichment of the few at the expense of the many.

Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is not just unfair; it’s cruel. A million disabled people stand to lose vital support, while the wealthiest are protected. This isn’t necessity, it’s a choice—and it’s the wrong one. #SpringStatement

Louder for those more than a decade behind the times: PIP IS AN **IN-WORK** BENEFIT for people with sgnificant disabilities, as well as an out-of-work one.

It's the replacement for Disability Living Allowance and is neither means-tested nor unemployment-linked.

Tax the super rich to stop cuts to public services
Across the UK, living standards are falling and millions live in poverty, while the cost of living crisis has made affording the basics difficult. Public services we all rely on - our hospitals, schoo...

Why lie about what motivates these cuts? They are Labour's choice as to who should bear the costs of its fiscal rule. Why add insult to injury to claimants, why gaslight the rest of us, and pretend they are to help those with disabilities?

Absolutely shocking to see a Labour secretary of state stand at the despatch box and proudly announce slashing support for some of those who need it most - including removing the UC health top-up for young people, as if young disabled people don't exist?! #DisabilityBenefits

The 4 point minimum requirement for PIP will cause so much hardship #WelfareBill

Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Caroline Johnson. At least she’s looked at what the new eligibility criteria means. How can a Tory care more about disabled people than Labour

For context on the PIP 'no award under 4 points' changes:

Needs assistance to be able to get in or out of a bath or shower (3 points). Needs assistance to be able to wash their hair or body below the waist (2 points). Needs supervision or prompting to be able to wash or bathe (2 points).

With the proposed cuts to PIP eligibility, what nobody is talking about is carers allowance. When people lose their PIP their carers will lose the pittance they receive which saves the tax payers millions of pounds. #UnpaidCarers

We’re out and about across the UK today to tell MPs and constituents that our country is missing out on £460m a week without a wealth tax.
Rachel Reeves doesn’t need to make cuts, instead she can tax the richest people like us to build a better Britain.

It’s vital that the opposition calls Reeves out in parliament over the 3.1 million with long covid. The massive increase in absences in schools which they have blamed on parents are down to Covid. The ghost children never existed they are long covid kids.

Why isn’t the opposition pointing out that Labour are not being transparent on the welfare bill? Why would you not do that? Millions have long covid, the increased burden has got to do with bad handling of COVID. It won’t go away! @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @laylamoran.bsky.social
