anniesmum17.bsky.social @anniesmum17.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Countdown to the crucial disability benefit vote – Version 6 Updated 21st June Thank you, Vicky Foxcroft. Your resignation — in protest at these cruel cuts — will be remembered. As a former shadow disabilities minister, you spoke up when it mattered. History will show who stood up — and who stayed 011

The Trussell Trust joins NEF, JRF, and others: this isn’t fiscal responsibility. It’s performative cruelty. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...theguardian.comLabour’s benefit cuts will cost UK economy billions, charity saysTrussell report finds that higher levels of poverty mean Britain is losing out on £38bn a year of potential output 12714

They want to push through this democidal 4+ rule, then run a consultation on PIP daily living changes in late autumn, with the OBR assessment not due till October and the safeguarding review in November. It’s an absolute shitshow. #WelfareNotWarfare 710045

Reposted by @anniesmum17.bsky.socialDr Jay Watts @shrinkatlarge.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Dear Press, Labour say there’ll be safeguards for high-risk claimants when benefits are cut. But no major disability or mental health org believes that’s possible—and the risk assessment won’t even be published until autumn. Please don’t take their word for it. Dr Jay Watts 67418

We have over 500 now!!! I am now hoping we can double this in the next week as that’s going to be even more useful for refusing ‘its in their interests’ arguments. sites.google.com/view/openlet... 04226

Reposted by @anniesmum17.bsky.socialDr Jay Watts @shrinkatlarge.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Yes, many MPs are sending copy-and-paste replies. No, that doesn’t mean they’re unaffected. The replies are performance—a show of calm, of “Okness.” But 100s and 1000s of emails land. They register. They unsettle underneath. Keep going if you've spoons. You’re shifting something. 45412
