Last week, I presented our 77,000 strong petition for a wealth tax, not disability cuts, to Parliament ahead of the vote on the disability support cuts.

The plan is now to get a slot from 10 Downing Street to deliver this petition to the PM ahead of the summer break.

Can you help the petition reach 80,000 signatures ahead of the Downing Street hand-in?

The pressure placed on the Government from campaigners, disabled people’s organisations and MPs against the cuts forced a number of important concessions on the Government’s disability support Bill.

But we must be clear, this Bill still contains billions in cuts to disability support. I voted against the Bill, and will vote against any cuts to disability support. We need to tax the wealthiest instead!

📢 Please help us hit 80,000 signatures before the Downing Street hand-in!

All the best,

Richard Burgon MP
