This isn’t what Labour is meant to stand for.
Slashing PIP & support for disabled people won’t stop fraud - it’ll punish the most vulnerable in our society.
Thousands could be pushed into poverty, including children
This is not justice. It’s not fairness.
It’s not Labour

Purple graphic with a pink icon of a woman with her head in her hands. The white text reads 'The government announces new Benefits bill. Mencap’s recent survey of people with a learning disability found that without PIP, there will be vital support taken away for some people who need it most.'
Purple graphic with a pink icon of hands reaching out to each other. The white text reads "Without PIP, I would not be able to keep the roof over my head or be able to eat, buy clothes or have anything to do or access." - a person with a learning disability.'
Purple graphic with a photo of groceries in a brown paper bag. The white text reads 'Without PIP 70% of Policy Shapers would have to save money by cutting down on food. Have your voice heard Write to your MP'
Purple graphic with a pink icon of woman holding her hands to her head looking worried. The white text reads 'Proposed changes to how PIP is assessed mean that some people with a learning disability who need help across lots of areas could miss out, even if they rely on support every day. This support pays for things like help with cooking, washing, and going to the toilet. It’s not optional. And it’s not something people can just go without.'
1/4 Today the Government confirmed the choice to turn their back on thousands of disabled people and by pushing ahead with these welfare reforms, they are causing a huge amount of anxiety.

Purple graphic with colourful icon of people with a disability. There is cream text that says 'The true cost of being overlooked. Mencap’s new research exposes the true cost of living with a learning disability, and why the government can't overlook these unavoidable costs. Here’s what was found'
Blue graphic with an icon of purple people with a disability at the bottom of the page. The white text says 'Unavoidable and high extra costs. People with a learning disability incur higher costs in almost every area of life including housing, mobility, care, health, food, and social activities. These are essential expenses, not luxuries.'
A pink graphic with an icon of a mother and child shopping in a supermarket. The cream text says 'Inadequacy of PIP. For many participants, PIP does not sufficiently cover these costs, and some families are left subsidising support or going without essentials. PIP is inflation linked, not based on real needs. 85% of low income households with a person with a learning disability went without essentials in the 6 months to May 2024 (JRF).'
A purple graphic with a purple icon of a person sat on a sofa with their head in hands. The cream text says 'Harmful impact of losing PIP. Participants said losing PIP would mean: An inability to cover basic needs. Social isolation and worsening physical and mental health. Increased pressure on health and social care systems'

🪧 There’s growing cross-party rebellion over £5bn benefits cuts.
📰 Adam Forrest nails it: Labour cuts could push people like me—working, claiming PIP—out of work.
This isn’t support. It’s sabotage.

The UK Government is planning changes to PIP that could leave people with a learning disability without the support they rely on every day.
We’re asking you to stand with people with a learning disability and tell your MP that PIP must be protected.

🚨🚨🚨 Every £1 taken from carers and disabled people today costs far more in crisis support tomorrow. A false economy and moral failure. #ProtectPIP #SpringStatement

Reforming PIP is an attack on our most vulnerable. Labour’s plan targets disabled people and those most in need of support, not fraudsters who cheat our system. #ProtectPIP #PiratePartyUK
