We are not all wealthy pensioners. The majority of pensioners have their state pension and a small private pension that takes them over the threshold to claim pension credit. Most of these MPs and presenters are very well paid and seem to forget the majority of pensioners are struggling. Reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment for all pensioners. It is disgusting that MPs and economic migrants get free heating whilst pensioners get the cold shoulder. You are told to save for your old age and when you do the government punish you. I am not of state pension age yet because the government moved the goalposts. Why does the government appear to begrudge the pensioners a retirement.We have money for Net zero, wars, foreign aid but nothing for farmers and pensioners. This country is a disgrace.
Ann supported: STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD: SUPPORT COLETTE!I'm 72 and a widower. I have a small annuity that as from the last pension increase is now being taxed, after the next pension increase it will probably all go in tax! Unfortunately being an annuity I can't "cash it in" so the Government will benefit from me trying to safeguard my old age!
Elizabeth supported: STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD: SUPPORT COLETTE!we pay huge amount of tax during our working lifewhilst we plan and save for our retirement, only to get taxed again on our savings and pension. It is time for this to stop and to at least reward those who save and plan with no tax on our pensions, If this does not happen then, why bother to save at all?
Grahame supported: STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD: SUPPORT COLETTE!I have severe autism and can't socialise at all face to face with strangers, can't speak on phone, I also have many other conditions that link in and means I need a full time carer, this duty to engage thing isn't possible so to get a peaceful life I'll have bo choice but to not move to UC and Struggle. working isn't possible when significant issues with coordination, judgement, memory and behaviour inflexible routine etc all go hand in hand with the autism.
Rick supported: TAX WEALTH – DON'T CUT DISABILITY SUPPORTAfter 20 years of dedicated service as a registered health professional in the NHS, I found myself, through no fault of my own, living with multiple disabilities—some of them permanent. I had never claimed benefits before, but in recent years, I’ve had no choice. The financial support from PIP and LCWRA has been a lifeline for me, my family, and my children, as Universal Credit alone is simply not enough to survive on.
On top of the daily struggles that come with being disabled, I have also faced relentless discrimination and bureaucracy when dealing with the DWP and Universal Credit offices. I have had abrupt UC closures and overpayment notices—errors caused by DWP processes, not claimants like me—leading to constant uncertainty and distress.
Now, with the proposed cuts to disability benefits, my future and my family’s security are at risk. If I lose PIP under the new “four-point rule” in 2026 and my LCWRA payment of £416.19 is halved or removed under the UC health element changes, what financial support will be left for me,my family and young children ? These reforms will only push disabled people further into poverty, leaving us without the means to live with dignity.
Abolishing the Work Capability Assessment and restricting PIP to only the “severely disabled” is a cruel and dangerous move. Who decides what counts as “severely disabled”? Even experienced medical professionals struggle to define it, and the reality is that many of us who rely on these benefits—those who can barely walk, who need mobility aids, mental health support,specialist equipment, and daily support—will be left with nothing.
If the government needs to balance the budget, they should look elsewhere, not target the most vulnerable. Welfare benefits exist to uphold financial rights under the Equality Act 2010, not as a political bargaining chip.
That’s why I strongly support this vital campaign led by the Honourable Richard Burgon MP. We must stand together to protect the financial security and dignity of disabled people. Cutting disability support is not the answer—taxing extreme wealth is. I do not understand politics but I understand disability and the issues faced by disabled people , family and children due to my lived experience. I want our voices to be amplified and listened at the parliament and I truly wish this campaign delivers our voices through this campaign . Wishing this campaign the success it deserves.
Sam supported: TAX WEALTH – DON'T CUT DISABILITY SUPPORTAnother example of this "Labour" government abandoning the most vulnerable in our society to please the City of London and the Treasury.Doing the work of the Tories.Tax the super rich to protect those least able in one of the richest countries in the world.As a former nurse I know what devastating impact this will have.These cuts are cruel and economically worthless.I am a lifelong Labour voter but no longer.This is an anti working class government.Did we kick out the Tories for this?
Raymond supported: TAX WEALTH – DON'T CUT DISABILITY SUPPORTForcing individuals to return to an office when the rest of their team are in other offices/remote locations does nothing for camaraderie or productivity. Rather it decreases morale, creates resentment, and increases stress by eating away at our personal lives.
Lee supported: Demand WPP to Revoke its Four-Day Office Return MandateNot only will I be travelling an additional 2 hours each way daily, my monthly expenses will increase to a ridiculous amount. To break it down: NJ transit monthly pass ($375), path train ($6 round trip each day), parking at the train station ($8 per 24 hours). For four days a week, I have now added $600 just in tickets, then add in some gas to get to the train. This transition will be financially crippling for the associates at this company who cant afford to live in the city to begin with. Telling me that my choice of where I live is my responsibility is true, yes- I do pay my own rent, along with other young people just starting out. I am unfortunately very aware that my housing choices are my own. "We know that for some colleagues this new policy will require adjustments to their routines and arrangements, which is why it will not come into effect until April – giving people time to make any changes they need to." Is the suggestion that I move? Should I break my lease and incur those costs as well? As someone in their early 20s at my first job, I would have hoped those who are established in their life/ job/ finances and in a position of power would consider how much they are hurting the next generation of employees.
