From the start, Disabled voices and DPOs were left out of reforms that affect our lives, safety, and future. Now the Government announces last-minute concessions to fix proposals that should never have been written in the first place. #TakingThePIP

🧵
It is vital that opposition to the Universal Credit and PIP cuts Bill continues. The concessions proposed do nothing to protect those who will acquire conditions in years to come, and create an irrational two-tier system that cannot be justified by the evidence.

Olivia Blake, one of only nine MPs in parliament who has a disclosed disability, urges her colleagues to vote against the bill.
