Keir Starmer faced a stark wake-up call from within his party this week as Labour MP Sarah Owen delivered a chilling message straight from the inboxes of disabled people across the country: People are scared, stressed, and feeling completely let down.
During a Commons session, Owen told the Prime Minister that the government’s recently announced benefit reforms have triggered “quite a bit of stress” among those who rely on disability support. Reading out real messages from constituents, she shared the voices behind the stats — one person said, “I am beyond stressed with anticipation of losing money – I have £700 to live on this month.”
