🧵 The UK government has announced they will make over £5bn in cuts to disabled people’s social security.
This is the biggest cut on record. And we’re appalled.
People at food banks have told us that they’re terrified about how they might survive.

Now that’s what you call taking a stand and what we would hope to hear from Labour politicians instead of touting more cuts to those already struggling and vulnerable
£460 Million per WEEK - that's what we could raise with a 2% tax on any wealth above £10 million.
Imagine the huge difference that could make to our communities and public services.
Today I joined PatMillsUK bus touring the country to make the case for a Wealth Tax, not cuts.

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.
