Labour’s proposal to implement a new “4-point rule” for PIP would strip over 1.1 million disabled people of their vital daily living support. This is a stealth cut disguised as reform — and it’s set to deepen poverty and hardship for the most vulnerable. It’s not just about numbers; this change will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of disabled people, particularly those with mental health conditions, fluctuating disabilities, and complex needs.

If you’re concerned about the impact of these changes, here’s a template letter you can use to write to your MP and make your voice heard.

Labour’s proposed changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) could quietly wipe out the standard rate for hundreds of thousands of disabled people. A new “4-point rule” means that 87% of current standard daily living claimants would lose their award on review.

This isn’t reform — it’s the dismantling of disability support, dressed up in bureaucratic language. The government knows the numbers.

Now, so do we.

Next Saturday at Firestorm Books we'll be discussing the Eurochristian origins of mass criminalization and racial capitalism. Join us in-person at 3pm with Andrew Krinks, author of the recently published book "White Property, Black Trespass." In dialog with local organizers Hill Brown and Rev. Allyn Maxfield-Steele, Andrew will share their work on the historical continuity and religiosity of whiteness and property, concluding with a vision for a faith-based abolition of prisons and policing.

You can find more information on the event and copies of "White Property, Black Trespass: Racial Capitalism and the Religious Function of Mass Criminalization" on our website at https://firestorm.coop/events/3344-the-religion-of-criminalization-the-religion-of-abolition.html.

Time for a new #introduction post. I'm Mitch, a #ttrpg creator based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Occasionally people tell me my games are good.

My games include A MODERN PROMETHEUS, SHOOT N LOOT, and GRIMOIREPUNK, and all can be found at http://linktr.ee/mqsalmon.

I read a lot of leftist Christian #theology and #socialjustice books, and sometimes even post about them. I also read #scifi and #fantasy.

My current artistic hobby is #bookbinding, making nice hard covers for paperback books.
