If Ministers truly want to fund a better social security system, they could introduce a fair wealth tax, clamp down on tax avoidance, put a levy on banks and gaming, or invest in inclusive employment support. This is not reform; it is a sadistically cruel cost-cutting exercise. It is a betrayal of everything we Labour politicians claim to stand for. I, for one, will not stand by while this Government strip away dignity, security and hope from the people I represent. I am not the only one who believes that; other MPs do, too, and the UN is calling for UK to pull the Bill, because it will “deepen regression” on disabled people’s human rights.
