the roamerUKpol: the welfare bill and disability cuts, a powerful cartoon by Ella Baron
Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>A Labour Government which would rather attack the disabled than tax the rich. They don't seem to care about all the distress they have caused to people from whom life has taken so much. Is the end for the Labour Party which has lost sight of its purpose and who it stands for?<br>Please excuse my language but am fucking furious. <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Welfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Welfare</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DisabilityCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityCuts</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Labour</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ukpolitics</span></a></p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>‘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! </p><p>Let me repeat that.

Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>The Labour Prime Minister has come up with a grand plan to try and win over rebel MPs threatening to derail his attack on the disabled. His solution? A plan that people already on disability benefits will get a better deal than anyone who becomes disabled and needs support in the future. There is no mention about what happens when those receiving PIP get re-assessed. If Labour rebels fall for this, it is another nail in Labour's coffin. Is there any point in the Labour Party?<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DisabilityCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityCuts</span></a></p>
Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>We are all far far closer to being disabled and in poverty than we are to being billionaires. Think on this when very wealthy politicians support the wishes of billionaires when attacking those in poverty and the disabled rather than those who live their lives in luxury. Especially think about these things before you cast your vote. <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Socialism</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DisabilityCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityCuts</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ukpolitics</span></a></p>
Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>Here are 3 words which are causing real fear. NOT DISABLED ENOUGH. <br>Prime Minister Starmer, the Labour Government and all the Labour MPs who support cuts for the disabled need to give themselves a good shake. <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DisabilityCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityCuts</span></a></p>
