The UK government isn’t failing disabled people—it’s waging war on us.
Every cut, every cruel assessment, every sanction is a political choice.
Cutting benefits while MPs enjoy pay rises.
Forcing people through degrading medical assessments designed to fail.
Pushing sick people into poverty while calling it “reform.”
This is not broken policy. This is policy working exactly as intended.
