Disability isn’t a political strategy. It’s a human reality.

So Liz Kendall thinks cutting £5 billion in disability support is how Labour fights populism?
Let’s be clear—this isn’t about reform. It’s about pulling the rug from under people who already live with daily struggle. Long-term illness, disability, chronic pain—they’re not political talking points. They’re real lives.
And yes, the welfare system should be sustainable. But "sustainability" doesn't mean sacrificing the vulnerable to win back votes from Reform UK.
When 100 Labour MPs are signing letters in protest, maybe it's not just "critics"—maybe it's conscience.
We need a welfare system that stands up for people in their worst moments. Not one that sees them as liabilities in a polling war.
If this is what counts as "real change"—we’re going backwards.
