I love that Voldemort is a murderous dictator who sent the teenage son of a man who had once been at the very top of the Death Eaters on what was essentially a suicide mission, and who, during the Second War, killed the man who was, in his eyes, his most useful follower, in cold blood without a shred of remorse. He did it painfully, using Nagini, simply because he could not be bothered to bring his old wand to spare Snape that suffering, even though he knew there were other ways to win the Elder Wand, since that was what Dumbledore had done with his paramour Grindelwald. And yet, the worst thing Bellamort deniers can come up with to 'prove' he did not care about Bellatrix is that he was slightly mean to her once and laughed at her lol.

Scrap the PIP Reform Bill and Rebuild with Disabled People

My letter to Keir Starmer:

I am writing as a disabled person who lives with a long-term physical health condition, and who is deeply alarmed by your government's proposed reform to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

Let me be clear: this bill, in its current form, does not represent reform — it represents regression. It proposes cuts that would impact all claimants, including those with existing awards. The proposed “two-tier” system, widely mentioned in the media, does not even appear in the legislation. There is no guarantee of any future improvements or concessions. What is currently on the table is the removal of essential support from some of the most vulnerable people in the country.

Disabled people already face crisis levels of inequality:

Over 16 million people in the UK are disabled, and 3.4 million claim PIP or Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

According to Scope, disabled households face average extra costs of £1,010 per month related to energy, food, transport, care, and mobility.

1 in 3 disabled people are in work, compared to 4 in 5 non-disabled people. Yet even for those in work, these costs persist.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that 49% of people in poverty are either disabled or live in a household with a disabled person.

A recent study in the British Medical Journal highlighted that disabled people in the UK are more than twice as likely to die prematurely due to structural barriers and lack of access to healthcare.

PIP was never designed to be a luxury – it is there to help cover the additional costs of simply living with a disability. Yet even now, many of us fall through the cracks.

I live with a complex physical health condition, like many others with fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), or ME/CFS. These are invisible, often misunderstood conditions that cause debilitating symptoms — chronic pain, joint instability, fatigue — and they don’t go away. They are lifelong, often degenerative, and poorly supported.

The NHS cannot fill the gap:

In my region, hydrotherapy is offered only once per person per lifetime. After that, patients are expected to go private.

Many essential pain medications and therapies are not available through the NHS at all. Accessing even basic treatments often requires going outside the system — at personal cost.

The NHS has shifted towards short-term, outpatient care in order to meet statutory targets. This has left long-term care needs — particularly for people with physical disabilities — deprioritised or ignored.

Inaccessibility and isolation are real:

I stopped using public transport altogether because I faced consistent, exhausting barriers — from vehicles not lowering ramps, to drivers unwilling to wait or help, to services refusing to make even minimal adjustments. After countless humiliations, I gave up. I no longer go out unless absolutely necessary.

These barriers erode independence. They force people into isolation. They come with real emotional and economic costs that are invisible to able-bodied decision-makers.

Cutting PIP will not reduce these needs. It will only make them harder to survive.

The current bill fails to address any of this. It was not co-designed with disabled people. It offers no guarantee of improvements. And it risks plunging thousands — if not millions — into crisis, homelessness, and increased strain on the NHS and local authorities.

I am urging you directly:

Please withdraw this bill. Scrap it. Start again – and this time, with disabled people meaningfully involved in shaping the policy that governs our lives.

I want to be clear: I cannot work. My condition makes it impossible to maintain consistent hours, manage symptoms, or meet the demands of a workplace – no matter how much I wish I could.

I know many disabled people who do work or want to — and they deserve better access, flexibility, and support. But just as importantly, those of us who can’t work through no fault of our own should not be forced into poverty or isolation because of it.

Disability is not a choice. Neither is incapacity.

We need a system that recognises that not everyone can work — and ensures we are still treated with dignity, not suspicion or punishment.

As Prime Minister, you now have the power — and the responsibility — to reject this cruel direction and instead lead with fairness, evidence, and basic human decency.

Please, Prime Minister. Scrap the bill and rebuild support for disabled people — with us, not against us.
