A recent poll by LabourList indicates significant discontent among Labour members, with 46% suggesting Rachel Reeves should be removed from her position amid growing concerns over welfare reforms impacting disabled citizens. Work and Pensions minister Lix Kendall faces similar scrutiny, particularly over measures that could harm 80,000 disabled individuals. Disability Rights UK warns of a potentially unfair two-tier benefits system as cuts are proposed. Mikey Erhardt of Disability Rights UK emphasizes the detrimental impact of such reforms, urging MPs to oppose the government’s approach favoring budget balancing over the well-being of disabled people.
We completely reject the imposition of the two-tier system on offer. It is not a massive concession to have a benefit system where future generations of disabled people receive less support than disabled people today.
By attempting to push through cruel cuts to the benefits of disabled people, the Government prioritised balancing its books over improving the lives of disabled citizens.
