Keir Starmer is rushing through a deal to save himself.
But Labour's disability cuts will push 150,000 people into poverty, according to their own figures.
MPs must vote against these appalling cuts today.

For the Labour MPs who found some principle and joined the chorus of backlash against Labour's disability cuts, I’d urge you to hold firm.
This hasty deal will drive poverty, deny opportunity, and deepen inequality for sick and disabled people.
❌MPs must oppose it.

This is the effect of SNP policies like the Scottish Child Payment.
But 50,000 more children will be pushed into poverty by Labour's #WelfareCuts.
Write to your MP and urge them to oppose the Universal Credit and PIP Bill on Tuesday 1st July.

While Labour cut PIP across the UK, we won’t let disabled people down here in Scotland.
We will not cut Scotland’s Adult Disability Payment - our equivalent of PIP.

Sick and disabled people moving to Universal Credit are being threatened with sanctions if they don't provide a GP fit note within 7 days, despite receiving ESA.
This is adding to the anxiety facing disabled people because of Labour's planned cuts

The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill was published today.
Labour's appalling cuts to social security support will deepen inequality for sick and disabled people.
Importantly, due to SNP policy, PIP changes will not be mirrored in Scotland's Adult Disability Payment.

‼️The SNP will end the two child cap from 02 March 2026.
The two-child cap restricts support in universal credit to two children in a family. It is a key driver of child poverty.

The project shows the global inequity at the heart of the climate emergency. But it is also about solutions.
