Starmer: NO cruel cuts to benefits in Northern Ireland
We call on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to u-turn on plans to cut benefits for disabled and sick people in Northern Ireland.
Why is this important?
The UK government announced plans to drastically cut benefits for disabled and sick people across the UK - including Northern Ireland.
These changes are cruel. More people receive disability benefits such as Personal Independence Benefit (PIP) here than the UK average. So these brutal cuts will cause huge distress and hardship for those of us who live with a disability or illness in the North.
No matter who you are, or where you come from, we all deserve support when we are sick or have a disability. Many charities and even 80 Labour MPs – a fifth of the party – oppose these plans.
We, the undersigned, oppose these cruel cuts to benefits and call on Keir Starmer to reverse plans NOW.
