DWP benefit cuts to push 150,000 people into poverty despite partial U-turn. How many will die prematurely? Last year HMRC failed to collect £46.8bn of taxes. Please tell your MP to oppose the cruel cuts. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

🚨 TODAY 🚨 If you're in London and can cope with the heat, get down to Parliament Sq from 4.30 to 8.30. Lots of great speakers on why we're fighting for #WelfareNotWarfare

"These benefit cuts will plunge millions of people into poverty... We've seen from the last decade or so that you can't cut your way to economic growth... The alleged savings from these cuts are incomparable to the £40 billion in tax that is avoided and evaded every year,…
Private Eye has found that that 281,000 PIP claimants *already in paid work* stand to lose out under the proposed cuts (i.e the four-point rule) That's 55% of all PIP claimants in paid work, according to the article (not my article but I want to flag it)
