PROTESTERS gathered across Britain today in a national day of action against the government’s plan to cut disability welfare.

The Welfare Not Warfare demonstrations, organised by Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Stop the War and others, saw campaigners convene outside Downing Street as Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered her Spring Statement.

Protesters held aloft signs reading “Cuts kill” and “Cut war not welfare” while chants of “No more deaths from benefit cuts” and “The people united will never be defeated” were heard.
