Join Disabled People Against Cuts to protest against the Labour policies killing disabled people outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool 29/09/2025 at 12pm. We will assemble near the Wheel of Liverpool on Keel Wharf L3 4FN.
We encourage those who can to a mask in order to protect immunocompromised members of our community and will have some masks available for those who do not have their own. We ask that political parties do not bring branded placards.
The government is expected to introduce the disability cuts bill on the 18th of June, and vote on it as soon as July 1st.
They are not even waiting for the sham “consultation” to end on 30th of June.
Disabled People Against Cuts and allies are organising a mass Protest of Parliament on June 30th and a national day of action on July 1st when the second reading of the bill will occur.
More details to follow but it is essential that as many people as possible attend these events.
Some funding is available for travel and other essential costs. Email mail@dpac.uk.net
If you are able to arrange a local protest on July 1st please send us details of your event.
Welfare Not Warfare
End Labour’s War on Disabled People
Tax the Rich, Not Crips.
The Government are lying about cuts.
Total planned disability benefit cuts are at least £9 billion and not the £4.8 billion being reported.
Number of households to be plunged into poverty by the PIP cuts alone is at least 350,000 – 4000,000 including 50,000 children.
1.5 million Deaf and Disabled people will be badly impacted by the changes to PIP, not just the 800,000 being reported.
MPs will be forced to vote on the cuts without having all the information and based on the misleading figures that have been reported.
The Labour party conference starts in Liverpool on Saturday. As we all know, Labour were the architects of Employment Support Allowance and the ‘not fit for purpose’ Work Capability Assessment which is so stressful and traumatic it was linked to the suicide of claimants whilst Labour were still in power. The Labour party are the official party of opposition, but they are not opposing the Welfare Reform Bill as they should be and seem to have forgotten that the 10 million sick and or disabled people plus carers, friends and family in the UK have the power to vote. It is time for us to remind Labour that they will not get any of our votes if they do not start to oppose the parts of the Welfare Reform Bill set to return sick people, disabled people and carers to a life of desperation, dependency, despair and charity.
We are asking you to help with a mass email to the Labour party to remind them of our voting power. Please include the following details in your email and send it to Ed Miliband, Margaret Curran (shadow minister for disability) and Liam Byrne (shadow minister for DWP). If you have time please also email it to any Labour MP and particularly any members of the shadow cabinet. We have provided a list of email contacts below.
Please aim to send your email at 11am tomorrow (Thursday the 22nd September) If you can’t send the email at 11am, don’t worry, just please try to send it at any time between then and the end of Labour party conference on Wednesday 29th September.
The email subject should read “Your Silence Is Deafening”
We suggest embedding a link to this youtube video “The Sound of Silence” To embed the video into your email just copy and paste the link below.
Then please copy the following text into your email;
Dear (insert name here)
‘The 10 million disabled people in this country plus their carers, relatives and friends are watching what your party do in relation to disability issues and wondering why you seem uninterested in trying to get their votes by opposing the savage attacks against disabled people being made by the Coalition government. During conference season we wish to remind you, the architects of Employment and Support Allowance to ‘never fall ill, never grow old, never become disabled’ (and never become a carer), for if you do, as we have found, not even Labour will speak up for you.’
If you would like to add a short, personal message explaining to Labour how you feel about their lack of support for sick, disabled people and carers then please include it after the suggested text. You might also like to include a photo of yourself, or perhaps a photo of what disability, sickness or caring means to you. Don’t worry if you don’t want to personalise the email, sending the suggested text is fine.
