Timms Review rebellion: reject youth disability cuts In South Wales last week, Disabled people, including #DPAC members and allies, asserted control of the #TimmsReview workshop to send a positive message of defiance.
A graphic about the Timms Review. Over the official government colours is the word "rebellion!" in ransom-style newspaper cut-out letters on a ripped scrap of paper. Two scraps of paper are presented below. The first is a newspaper clipping saying "Disabled people issue 'direct warning' over proposed benefit cuts for under-22s" with a black and white photo and some text about how attendees in Cardiff forced a vote over proposed cuts. The second scrap of paper is lined. Above, a caption says: "During the workshop, participants unanimously approved a counter-recommendation." The paper itself says, in a handwritten font: "That the PIP process works for you, whatever age you are, whatever condition or impairment you might have, whatever class you are, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever your circumstances." There are decorative foreground details such as a paperclip and tape. One of the pieces of tape is red, adding a rebellious splash of colour.

Our protests have forced the Cardiff Timms Review workshop -- a top-down review controlled by private consultants -- to move online. The DWP should ask themselves the obvious question: why do disabled people feel the need to protest a review that is supposedly ‘co-produced’ with them? #TimmsReview

TUC must not abandon disability cuts fight - trade unionists must urgently push for a recommitment to action
TUC must not abandon disability cuts fight

Ben Golightly, Swansea Socialist Party

In 2025, the TUC (Trades Union Congress) unanimously passed motions 38 and 39 opposing the UK government’s disability cuts and calling for coordinated and sustained trade union action.

Since then, however, the TUC has taken the position that it does not need to implement these actions due to the concession that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) cuts will be delayed until the conclusion of the Timms Review in the coming Autumn.

This is a mistaken position.

The concessions on PIP are only temporary, and continuing cuts to Motability, Access to Work, and Universal Credit Health Element remain an emergency issue for trade union members and the working class as a whole.

The continuation of decades of austerity and cuts to council budgets, and the knock-on effect on social services, transport and education, disproportionately impact disabled service users, despite existing policy from TUC Cymru and trade unions calling on councils to set no-cuts budgets.

The government is now particularly targeting young disabled people through the Milburn Review, Wes Streeting’s review into supposed ‘over-diagnosis’ of disability, a rollout of 55,000 compulsory work placements under threat of sanction, and threats to abolish Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

Trade unionists must urgently push for a recommitment to action.
