Thank you so much! This is absolutely fantastic, really well done to those who have put in the time, energy and communication skills to make it happen. I've shared on Bluesky, hoping this gets amplified by everyone.
The ME community needs to link up with the rest of the disabled community to fight the cuts to PIP and universal credit. As if this wasn't bad enough the government has plans to cut access to work making it even harder for those pwME in a job to stay in work or get back into work.
Amnesty International recently released a report stating that the government's cuts to disability benefits do not comply with international law under the UN Covenants dealing with economic and social rights. These state that governments have an obligation to provide those unable to work with an adequate standard of living.
Instead we have a Labour government determined to drive over a million disabled people deeper into poverty.
The Labour government is dead
set on continuing it's austerity
politics which is motivated by
neo Liberal economics. Pleading
with this reactionary
government will get you
nowhere. History reveals time and again that improvements in the lives of ordinary people have to be fought for. They are never granted by some "benevolent" government.
Wow, this is what I hoped to see one day. Thank you so much!
The M.E groups and organisations joining forces to send a message that may or may not be heeded, but does sound more meaningful and powerful.
