Here’s the full letter to Keir Starmer from MPs - they are both new intake and veterans and from the left and right of the party “Without a change of direction, the Green Paper will be impossible to support”

Below is what labour should be listening to. A response of we need to make changes faster means they are not getting the message.

Where is all the empathy for people having their benefits slashed?
Empathy seems to be in short supply, in politics given the Labour government's record so far. So where is our anger? Asks Keetie Roelen.

Cutting disability benefits will do nothing but heighten the scapegoating of disabled people once again – how can a Labour Government introduce such a punitive measure? Penny Pepper asks

#PIP The vile DWP are sending out a toxic survey on how disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money DWP have no legal right to ask this information & you have no legal obligation to respond to this survey Or you can send a letter of opposition about the proposed changes (cuts to pip)
Image is on a blue background with purple & blue text 
The DWP Survey on how recipients are spending their pip money is being sent out 

So how should you respond? 

Option A: The DWP have no legal right to this information and you have no legal obligation to provide them with this information.  Their aim is to further stigmatise disability benefits and invalidate disabled people’s experiences 

Option B: Respond with Opposition 

Respond with a letter of opposition highlighting the injustices of the proposed changes and their injustices 

Remember; give no information on how you spend your personal independence payments

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

As a shrink, I see the #DisabilityBenefits cuts hit like a tsunami: suicidal ideation up, hope drowned. £5.5bn saved on paper, but the human cost? Unaccountable. This proposed policy is stoppable - please write to your MP today. #WelfareNotWarfare

The headline disability benefit cuts are £9bn, not £4.7bn
The OBR are assuming that people change their behaviour in response to the cuts - without this, the cuts are nearly twice as deep
