Labour has just handed the next election to Reform UK.

Shamefully only 49 Labour MPs rebelled on the second reading of the Welfare Bill this evening.
700,000+ new claimants will lose universal credit health payments, £3,000 a year on average.
A two-tier welfare bill.
I am so sorry for future disabled claimants.

Here's the breakdown of votes so you can contact your MP. I've just written to mine.

@junesim63 Things can only get worse, especially then the Refill Nigel's Bank Account Party start to bring in US style health insurance as they are promising to do... 😱

@junesim63 On the contrary, it's the rebels who risk Farage. Corbyn had his chance, but he showed that he was unelectable. Politics is the art of the possible.

Not sure people understand that Reform Ltd and the Conservatives voted against this bill because they believe it doesn't go far enough in cutting welfare benefits.

@Mark62 @junesim63
It's a cynical ploy: they voted against because it didn't go far enough but sure as eggs they'll present themselves as protectors of disabled people in their campaign literature. An entirely unnecessary own-goal by the Labour leadership.

@junesim63 My labour MP voted for just chewed them out in email blaming them for deaths in suicides and poverty this will cause. I called it "poking mentally ill people with a hot rod until they either get a job or die" #ukpol #welfarereform #labour
