Reeves is still demonising disabled people with pointless mobility scheme interference. She's freezing income tax thresholds which disproportionately impacts low income people.

She's choosing to further the interests of the elite, not address wealth inequality.

I for one will not forget this.

Motability is a fixed amount based on a person's PIP and it has never fully covered luxury vehicles.

This is performative appeasement which achieves absolutely nothing positive. Yet people who don't seem to understand the current system are falling over themselves to defend this nonsense.

Why shouldn't disabled people who need adapted vehicles be allowed to use their own money to top up motability to have a nice car? Because that's what she's stopping.

Motability does not and never has paid fully for a luxury car. This saves no money.

Tax the rich to fill the pot.

Thanks 😊

She's amazingly resilient and I'm sure she will bounce back, but it made her feel frightened and vulnerable, which no one should be made to feel for doing nothing more than trying to buy groceries whilst using mobility aids.

We can't allow this slide into increasing nastiness to continue.

She doesn't drive because of her conditions. This was in the street as she went to get groceries, in her wheelchair.

And frankly, she shouldn't have to record her life to live it in peace.

I'd rather MPs stop feeding the idea that attacking vulnerable groups is OK, and take abuse seriously.

She did. She's 21. They said they'd make a record of it.

And the snide remarks re motability vehicles were for what reason?

My daughter is an ambulant wheelchair user and has faced abuse because of the rhetoric this government is pushing re disability and NEETs. I'm sick of people attempting to make excuses for nasty policies that feed nasty behaviour.

If you are eligible for the mobility component of PIP and you want to spend *your own money on top of that* on having a nicer modified car, why shouldn't you? Should screen readers only work on Chromebooks?

And frankly, current actions matter to me and many others more than past careers.

It's shameful that in a budget Reeves was still encouraging the anti-disabled rhetoric that is having a real impact on the lives of many, my own daughter included, who has faced abuse in the street from strangers.

Because the conversation was about how MPs were suspended for refusing to back the 2 child cap, yet those who suspended them were cheering its abolition today.

Changing the topic to discuss leaders instead is deflection imo.

So very telling that people aren't even bothering to attempt to defend Labour's actual actions anymore, but are choosing the deflect, deflect, deflect option instead...
