Under Labour’s welfare cuts, 1.3 million people with cancer, arthritis and other diseases could lose PIP.
They could have just made the very wealthiest pay their fair share.
What an absolute disgrace that they are choosing to make life harder for disabled people instead.

Aug 2024: OFWAT announced £168m fine on 3 companies. ZERO Paid.
Dec 2024: £18m fine on Thames Water for paying unjustified dividends. ZERO Paid.
Regulatory indulgence emboldens companies, encourages more abuses.
