Motion text
That this House strongly condemns the recent decision by His Majesty's Government to implement £5 billion cuts to Personal Independence Payment, a vital lifeline for individuals with disabilities, chronic health issues, and mental health problems across the United Kingdom; believes that such measures unfairly target some of the most vulnerable people in our society, contravening the principle that those with the broadest shoulders should contribute more; is deeply disappointed that a Labour Government would enact policies that appear to punish rather than support those in need of assistance, contradicting core Labour values of social justice and equality; further believes that parliamentarians have a duty to uphold the dignity and well-being of all citizens, ensuring that adequate support systems are available for the most disadvantaged; therefore urges the Government to reconsider its approach, prioritising the protection of essential support; and calls for an immediate reversal of these cuts and the implementation of a fairer taxation system where contributions are aligned with the ability to pay, ensuring that those facing the greatest financial challenges are not left to bear the heaviest burdens.
