❗Labour is reportedly planning £6 billion in cuts to #benefits for people with a disability or long-term health conditions. These cuts only threaten to deepen community distress and hardship which - as new Demos and @jrf-uk.bsky.social research shows - has been steadily rising over the last decade.
