While ordinary citizens face austerity, rising living costs, and funding cuts, Members of Parliament continue to enjoy generous salaries, expenses, and perks, often without meaningful public oversight. Why do those in power operate by a different rulebook, and who holds them accountable?
Trussell Trust has issued a grave warning to the UK Government: if planned welfare reforms and budget cuts continue, an additional 340,000 people in households with a disabled member will be forced into hunger and hardship by 2030. For many of these families, it isn’t just a question of putting food on the table — it’s a question of survival.
As outrage grows over a disabled woman being ignored by the Disability Minister, public attention turns to political ideologies like the Fabian Society—and whether the welfare state is being restructured under a cloak of cold reform.
No one should have to “prove” their trauma, but the benefits system often requires detailed explanations. If trauma makes daily living harder, you deserve support. And always remember—your condition is valid even if it’s not visible. If someone hasn’t walked in your shoes, they shouldn’t judge how far you’ve come.

“One of the most overlooked aspects of disability assessments like PIP is the failure to fairly account for fluctuating conditions. Many individuals live with illnesses that vary from day to day — such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or certain mental health conditions. These are not linear or predictable, and yet the current system often assumes a static level of ability. This creates a harmful narrative that if someone can perform a task once, they can always do it — which is simply not the case. A more compassionate and realistic approach would recognise how the severity of symptoms can fluctuate, affecting daily living and mobility in deeply inconsistent and exhausting ways.”
The UK government’s approach to disability rights, mental health legislation, and human rights law is cause for serious concern. These policies, when combined, could lead to a society where disabled individuals are stripped of their autonomy, denied financial support, and placed under state control. If we do not act now, we risk allowing history to repeat itself. The rights of disabled people must not be sacrificed in the name of cost-cutting measures. It is time to push back against policies that prioritize financial savings over human dignity.
