Petition against cutting disability support by Richard Burgon MP was created by Kaitlin399

This is a petition from Richard Burgeon MP and so far it has over 28,000 signatures. It is linked to Parliament and will be seen in Parliament before MPs vote on disability cuts.
If people could sign this petition and the other one that is on this forum that would be ideal. So far the other one has over 8,000 signatures.
Please make this is a sticky so members see it.
TAX WEALTH
DON'T CUT DISABILITY SUPPORT
This petition, demanding a Wealth Tax instead of devastating cuts to disability support, will be presented in the House of Commons before any votes on welfare cuts.
We oppose the Government’s plan to balance the books by targeting disabled people and the most disadvantaged in our society.
Slashing disability benefits instead of taxing extreme wealth is a political choice—and it is the wrong choice.
Instead, we believe that the very wealthiest should be made to pay their fair share.
A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 million could raise up to £24 billion per year. That’s far more than the £5 billion the Government claims it will “save” by cutting key financial support for disabled people.
We call on the Government to abandon these cruel cuts and, instead of punishing the poorest, to implement a Wealth tax on the very wealthiest.

Hi Kaitlin,
Unfortunately we are unable to sticky every topic, as there's usually a few requests for this, so they tend to be more for important information to help people, rather than petitions which may not always be successful.
Thank you for your understanding.
Chris.
