Over 40 Labour MPs have expressed strong opposition to proposed cuts to disability benefits, warning that they could harm over 700,000 families already in poverty. The MPs demand a delay in decision-making until the government conducts full assessments of the cuts' impacts and engages in dialogue with disabled people's organizations. They argue that the planned cuts, part of a broader attempt to reform the benefits system, are not the correct solution to the issues at hand and will only exacerbate hardship for the most disadvantaged communities.
Cuts don't create jobs, they just cause more hardship.
The planned cuts of more than 7bn represent the biggest attack on the welfare state since George Osborne ushered in the years of austerity.
