Scrapping PIP cuts was right. But tomorrow, MPs vote on a UC Health cut ripping £2 BILLION from disabled people - this will push 50,000 into poverty. 75% on UC Health already face deprivation. This will drive them deeper into hardship. I’m voting to remove cuts from the Bill.
The welfare bill would still force 50,000 people into poverty – we must remove the cuts entirely ✍️ @NeilForPoole politicshome.com/opinion/articl…
Statement on my suspension from the Parliamentary Labour Party.

Families in Poole often face high rents and low wages. We need a new generation of council housing to deliver the genuinely affordable homes my constituents need. The Labour Government's £39 billion Affordable Homes Programme must deliver low-cost, quality housing for Poole.
I voted against £2 billion of disability benefit cuts last night. Deep cuts to an already broken system will see more families forced into hardship. Disabled people in Poole and across the UK deserve a welfare state rooted in fairness. I'll keep speaking up for Labour values
The Government isn't telling MPs how its disability benefit cuts will hit people already in poverty. 3/4 UC Health recipients face deprivation - future claimants will see their incomes fall, forcing disabled people deeper into poverty. I’m voting to remove cuts from the Bill!
Hundreds of thousands of people in poverty will still lose £thousands because of the Universal Credit Bill. Julia Modern from the Disability Poverty Campaign Group explains how impact assessments hide the reality. Tell your MP to vote against the bill: inclusionlondon.org.uk/campaigns-and-…
MPs can vote today to remove the UC Health cut for future claimants from the welfare bill. If they don't, it will push 50,000 into poverty. 75% of current UC Health recipients already face material deprivation - future claimants will be even worse off. Vote to remove the cuts.
Reforming our pension system needs to work in the interest of savers, as well as the environment and wider society.
The Disability Benefit Cuts Bill will rip £2 BILLION from disabled people’s incomes. 4.8 million disabled people already live in poverty - this will push more over the edge. Ministers should accept my amendments to remove the cuts from the Bill.
The Government is proposing £2 BILLION in cuts to disabled people. Ministers should accept my proposals to remove the cuts from the Bill. This would let the positive elements pass without making disabled people poorer. We must not balance the books on disabled peoples backs.
Tonight MPs have tabled a reasoned amendment on behalf of disabled people who have yet to have agency in this process. It is time their voices were heard. It is backed by 138 organisations @PippaCrerar @guardian
EXCL: Labour MP Rachel Maskell has tabled a new reasoned amendment, designed to defeat the welfare bill at tomorrow’s second reading vote. So far it has the backing of 35 Labour MPs, with organisers suggesting more could add their names. Still some way short of the 83 required…
The Disability Benefit Cuts Bill will unleash a domino effect of hardship for carers. Many are disabled themselves so in future won't get the support they rely on. PIP is a “passport” to Carer’s Allowance, some families will lose both - around £9,000 a year. I’m voting NO.

Despite the Government's concessions on disability cuts, hundreds of thousands of disabled people will still lose the support they rely on. “The government needs to withdraw the Bill before the vote and go back to the drawing board” - @NeilForPoole. labouroutlook.org/2025/06/30/wel…
These proposals will still force disabled people into poverty. I oppose a two-tier approach where the support you get depends on when you applied - not on need. There’s a fairer, more Labour way. Let's ask wealthy corporations and individuals to pay - not the disabled.
NEW: Welfare concessions. Liz Kendall sets out compromise to MPs in letter just published 1/ All of those currently receiving PIP will stay within the current system. Nee eligibility requirements will be implemented from Nov 2026 for new claims only. 2/All existing recipients…
The Government needs to withdraw the Disability Benefit Cuts Bill and redesign the benefits system with disabled people's organisations. No last minute deal to find concessions can deliver the improvements disabled people need. Back to the drawing board!
