Labour: toxic to the core

As the Canary previously reported, the government practically gutted their Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare ‘reform’ bill, in order to get it through Parliament. And now, disabled people are left, once again, to pick up the pieces.

In spite of Labour’s huge majority, the bill only passed by 75 votes. Even that was in the face of Keir Starmer’s embarrassing U-turns. In one such instance, DWP minister Stephen Timms had his PIP changes shelved until after a review into the system.

‘Die-in’ over the DWP

Now, Autistic Inclusive Meets are calling on people to take photos from their beds, the floor, or slumped in a car or on a chair with their eyes shut, holding signs. They want people to share the photos on social media using the following hashtags:  #LabourDieIn #BenefitCutsKill #MoreThanABudget.

#LabourDieIn #BenefitCutsKill #MoreThanABudget

We want to launch this Friday, so look out for us and join in!

Then post your photo with the hashtags above, simples!

Ultimately, the government’s cruel cuts, disguised pathetically as ‘welfare reform’, will do one thing and one thing only. Kill disabled people. And all the MPs who voted for the bill will have blood on their hands.

So, on Friday, join Autistic Inclusive Meets, as we give MPs a taste of what’s to come if this bill goes ahead.
