    #spartacusreport Govt’s response to DLA consultation presented a highly misleading view of responses. 74% were against proposals for PIP

    #spartacusreport 19% had mixed views and only 7% supported it fully. (Only 7% support for PIP folks. That's right. Less than 1 in 10.)

    #spartacusreport DLA consultation didn't meet govt code of conduct. 2 weeks too short. Bill presented to parliament before consultation end.

    #spartacusreport evidence does not support a 30% rise in DLA claims relevant to PIP as Govt claimed through consultation/ Impact Assessments

    #spartacusreport figure is actually 13%. Figures were not made clear to MPs as bill debated, despite a Govt report being signed off in May.

    #spartacusreport cannot conclude that DLA receipt alone stops sick or disabled people from working, as claimed by the Government.

    #spartacusreport Opposition is so clear in many cases we believe that Govt must pause reform until it can be reconsidered
