Protect Welfare For Disabled People
Keep her promise to build a more equal society & not continue with policies which benefit only the wealthy. The cuts to Disability Benefits are taking a terrible toll on the most vulnerable members of our society & they have to stop.
Our 'United' Kingdom has never been more divided & Mrs May clearly recognises this. I call on her to keep her word & seize her unique opportunity to become the Prime Minister who brought our nation back together & healed the wounds caused by policies of her predecessors.
I call on Mrs May to become, essentially, the 'Mother of our Nation'.

Why is this important?
The current 'austerity' policies are hurting only the poorest & most vulnerable people, whilst the wealthy have only gotten wealthier. This has led to the country being more divided than ever in recent years. The 'Brexit' vote is a prime example of this; where the disenfranchised voiced their feelings & now we need our Government to heal these wounds & bring us together, rather than promote further division.
Disabled people are suffering particularly as a result of the cut-backs in public spending & we feel victimised. We have a right to try to lead as normal a life as possible & cutting benefits in what is one of the wealthiest nations on Earth is both unjustified & shameful. Many disabled people are genuinely frightened of where these policies might lead & what our future lives may be like. We've seen other people who claim benefits being used as a scapegoat in the media & we worry, 'are we next?'.
We want assurances that this will not happen & that we will remain both valid & valued citizens. We hope & pray that these promises to halt these divisive & harmful policies are kept & that our worries are alleviated.
