Disabled lives should not be 'negotiated' or conceded over. Last year, the UN highlighted that the DWP assessment process led to 600 deaths in 3 years.
The *only* conversation on disability benefits that should be happening is how to build a system that doesn't cause death.

Why has nothing been done to dispel the narrative that disabled people don’t work and just rely on benefits? Some do work but the financial costs of being disabled by society are high.

Why is the narrative that Starmer has caved to rebel MPs? Why is it not that disabled people have poured their energy into justifying to their MPs why these benefits help them live and a significant number of MPs have relayed that to the PM and he’s listened?
