Government backtracking and concessions makes it ever more clear: this bill is not fit for purpose, and does not even have the support of their own party.
MPs must vote against it!

Meg Hillier in the chamber talks about people being 'pushed into disability benefits'.
We are not pushed into disability benefits - you cannot be coerced into being Disabled! Disability benefits are there to support us to live independent lives in the face of an ableist society.
Deborah retweeted
We’re in parliament asking MPs to vote against harmful cuts to disability benefits. ❌
PIP is a lifeline for people with MS, and this bill will push more people into poverty.
MPs must vote ‘no’, and #ProtectDisabilityBenefits.

'The starting point should never be cuts before proper support' - disabled MP @EmmaLewell delivering a speech opposing the bill. Says #PIP review is looking increasingly 'predetermined'.

Rachael Maskell's amendment will be voted on at 7pm. If it goes through, the welfare bill is dead for now. If it doesn't, they will then go to the vote on the bill
We urge MPs to support the amendment

🧵 NEW: APPG on Poverty and Inequality's response to the Pathways to Work Green Paper reveals SHOCKING evidence - disabled households face £1,067 extra costs monthly (67% of income) yet government plans devastating cuts that will push 400,000 into poverty. Thread👇#TakingThePIP

You can upload anything from a phone picture of your blood test results to an MRI or X-Ray and Grok will analyze it for you
My best friend has back surgery last week. And I help him with his bandages.
But I wondered what Grok would say about how well his wound was healing. Sent it a picture.
Holy shit.
Grok knows surgery care.
Separately used it earlier with my son who has a hangnail that is getting infected. It told us how to care for it until we can get him to the doctor.
Your AI doctor is here.

96 years ago today, women won the right to vote on the same terms as men. With 2 days until the election we want to be heard. We are 51% of the population and our votes will be critical in deciding the election outcome. Read our joint letter: bit.ly/45MfLBi #SheVotes24
