The government walked back the cuts and confirmed the funding will remain in place. This victory belongs to the 1,543 people who put their names on this petition. Keep a close eye on the budget reports because we need to make sure they stick to this promise.

Why should we allow these proposed cuts impact on the weakest and most vulnerable in our society. Its time the banks and the richest 10% paid their share. But the Tories don't want to tax their party financial supporters do they.
As a welfare rights advisor, I have witnessed the distress and difficulty some of the most vulnerable people in our society live through. The attempt to force these cuts is a callous move. Attacking those who cannot fight for themselves, stripping away their dignity and leaving them to suffer
I was a hard working single mother for many years until a recent accident. This left me no choice but to go on the system. It is important to include working families and the disabilities without any more cuts.
Ordinary people are on their knees. Next the British right-wing/Establishment Government will be reintroducing the workhouses of the 19th century and this in the 7th wealthiest country in the world! It's obscene!
These cuts will hit working families, the disabled and those seeking employment. They have led to human misery in Britain and need to be opposed in the Assembly, the councils and across society.

The proposed cuts would mean those already living on the poverty line are even more affected. Those whom rely on DLA payments have no other alternative to bringing money into the household as they are unable to work. Disgraceful cuts typical of the Conservatives.
