The Independent reports on critical issues like reproductive rights and welfare reforms, emphasizing the need for accessible journalism without paywalls. A concerning analysis by the all-party group on poverty highlights that proposed cuts in benefits under Keir Starmer could financially cripple disabled individuals, making them ineligible for essential support. With warnings that these cuts would not alleviate employment barriers but exacerbate existing hardships, the report calls for immediate reconsideration of these policies, urging the government to heed the voices of those most affected by the reforms.
Disabled people could lose more than £10,000 a year as a result of Sir Keir Starmer's benefit cuts, a group of MPs has warned.
These proposals won't remove barriers to employment—they will add new ones by stripping people of the income they rely on to survive.
The evidence is clear: these cuts will deepen inequality and force people further into crisis. We urge the government to listen to those most affected.
