We've done it! We've reached the first target of 10,000 signatures!!! We did it in 6 days as well!
This means the government will now respond to this petition directly.
The next target is 100,000 so keep sharing on and offline.
Thank you all so much!

ALT Petition page for Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefits We want the Government to halt all planned benefit cuts for disabled people unable to work. Instead of reducing benefits, we want them to rise in line with inflation. We want support, not hardship and deprivation, for those who cannot work. It says 10,000 signatures and the government will respond

A new cross-party report from MPs has raised significant concerns about the impact of the government’s disability benefit cuts and reforms on the poverty and safety of disabled claimants.

It all looks very Orwellian and will be the infrastructure, for SEZs and Freeports. Population control and destabilisation of communities to that end. We’re undoubtedly heading for a very dystopian society, and seems there’s nothing we can do to stop it.

To be fair, if you’d looked at what Labor in Australia were up to, you would’ve seen it coming. But even Australia voted them back in.
Sometimes I guess people gotta learn the hard way.
I've said this for years - if a political party promises something pre-election, only to go back on it immediately after the election, they should be LEGALLY held to that promise & FORCED to uphold their promise or be kicked out of Government...

Not only haven’t they done what was promised, they have also done what they promised they wouldn’t. We need a mechanism to eject a failing government that is actually effective?

Labour is being dragged to court to force it to nationalise Thames Water
Lawyers for River Action are arguing that Steve Reed has failed to even publish a policy on bringing Thames Water into public hands

Timms wants Access to Work to be less personalised because it’s ‘too bureaucratic’… while also forcing personalised work conversations on people too unwell to work (LCWRA).
So which is it—less personal or more? #TakingThePIP

This is why they needed an independent to do the review fairly, as unfortunately in my opinion Timms has to ensure the outcome fits the narrative of the government not the people it will afffect. Of course that’s my own opinion but that’s also my fear.

Timms calling the vote “democratic process at its finest” omits that:
– Consultation skipped 10 of 22 key issues
– Messaging that painted us as work-shy
– Dismissed mental illness as a long-term disability
– Condemned by the UN for failing to listen
- Bill remains dangerous +++

Is the Timms Review of disability benefit PIP just a tick-box exercise? bigissue.com/opinion/timms-r…

Been in hospital 24 hrs.
Still in clothes I arrived in; haven’t brushed my teeth or been able to as medical assessment is basic. Have explained accessibility needs, and have had to push to locate the accessible toilet!
No offer of help to shower, or given washing facilities.
