In my capacity as a member of the Petitions Committee, today I led a debate on a popular petition to increase the State Pension.

While I don't agree with increasing the state pension to £380pw, its underlying principle of tackling pensioner poverty is clearly important. 🧵 Pensioner poverty has rapidly increased with 2mill now in deprived.

A major cause is the miserly state pension. As the cost-of-living crisis rages the impact has been exacerbated. Soaring bills dwarf the 3% rise in state pensions this year.

The Tories have finally responded to the UN’s 2017 damning report on the impact of its policies on disabled people.

The response falls woefully short, again ignoring UN recommendations.

Disabled people deserve better than this. Our human rights MUST be respected. The response has ignored the UN’s recommendation to conduct an cumulative impact assessment of the Government's devastating cuts on disabled people or a review of its cruel ESA sanctions regime. (2)
