High-profile celebrities including Stephen Fry, Brian Cox, and Stanley Tucci have voiced strong opposition to the UK government's proposed £5 billion cuts to disability benefits, labeling them as shameful. Joining the Trussell food bank network, they warn that the cuts could push more disabled individuals into poverty. Labour's overhaul could see over a million people lose crucial support, leading to significant financial distress. The widespread backlash includes calls for the government to consider the vulnerable rather than imposing burdens on them, emphasizing the need for a more compassionate approach to social security.
The social security system should be rooted in justice and compassion, fairness and need. It's not too late to rethink this.
Disabled people are scared of what the future holds if there's cuts to disability payments, as they are already not enough to cover life's essentials.
Cuts to disability payments will simply keep food banks in business for longer.
It was a stain on this country that so many people had to turn to food banks to survive.
