And the UK govt is cutting support for disabled people yet again.
No point having another UN report, they ignored all the criticisms the last ones.

This cartoon absolutely nails it.
Shame on Starmer, shame on every MP who voted for this bill. Yes, it was diluted by some random concessions, but it still is the most shameful thing the current Labour government has done.
And: respect to those Labour MPs who spoke up against this depravity.
But Labour is dead.

‘The Extermination of Disabled People at Work’ (my words) or phase two, which is supposed to come in to force from September/October 2025 and includes the removal of all job aide enabling and replacement support – both technological and human – meaning Access Workers will no longer exist!
Let me repeat that. There will be no more vital, friendly and inclusive Access Workers.’
"This is Labour's poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, disability cuts is the moral stain that will mark Starmer's government and the Labour party for years to come."
The excellent Frances Ryan on the planned cuts in disability benefits. She is, as always, right.
Every word in her piece is right. Shame on Starmer. Shame on every MP who votes for this bill.
‘This is #Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, #DisabilityCuts is the moral stain that will mark #Starmer’s government and the party for years to come.
Severely disabled and ill people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded as a result of this policy. No Labour MP who backs it should be forgiven.’
Let's see, there's this...

I know there are many more. But who cares now that we have "change" under #LiNO ?
