The Labour Party swept into power with promises of change. Now they’re gutting support for disabled people. Same bloody playbook as the Tories. How dare they? PIP isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Without it, people can’t afford wheelchairs, transport, or basic care. Cutting it isn’t “economic strategy.” It’s cruelty.
They’re calling it “encouraging work.” Bullshit. Many disabled folks want to work but can’t. PIP isn’t about employment—it’s about survival. Slashing these benefits doesn’t “fix the economy.” It abandons the vulnerable to fund political vanity projects. Meanwhile, hotels for asylum seekers? Public sector pay bumps? Funny how there’s always money for everything except the people who need it most.
This isn’t incompetence. It’s calculated. They’re scapegoating the sick and disabled to distract from their own failures. “Look over there—lazy scroungers!” Sound familiar? It’s the same dehumanizing rhetoric the Tories peddled. Labour swore they’d be different. Turns out they’re just better liars.
Who loses? The woman with MS who needs a mobility aid. The autistic kid who relies on specialist support. The dad recovering from a stroke. These aren’t statistics. They’re human beings. Forcing them into deeper poverty isn’t “tough love.” It’s a moral failure.
This isn’t about saving money. It’s about propping up a system that values profit over people. Cheap labor. Corporate handouts. A government happy to bleed dry those too ill to fight back. Disgusting.
We’re watching a party that once championed workers’ rights now kick the disabled while they’re down. What does that say about us if we stay silent? If we let them strip away dignity because someone decided independence is too expensive?
Fight this. Scream about it. Vote. Protest. Demand better. When did we decide it’s okay to punish people for being unlucky enough to get sick? How low have we sunk?
