Fall in NHS waiting lists by paying hospitals to remove patients from lists. Paying GPs to not refer patients.

Targeting pensioners, disabled and increasing child poverty by 10k with a predicted 50k more by 2026.

Their legacy will be the biggest increase in poverty. Disabled deaths.

Even the OBR has admitted past disability benefit reforms (like the move from DLA to PIP) didn’t save what was promised. And Universal Credit delays dragged on for years. But still—they press ahead though we are gaining real momentum against these deadly
Cuts.

As someone who's covering the disability benefit cuts a lot at the moment, let me say this clearly: practically ALL the social media discussion about those cuts is happening on twitter and facebook. ALL. There's hardly anything on Bluesky. My Bluesky feed is full of Brits posting about America.
