👉🏽 102,743 of us signed the petition 👉🏽 97% of us agree that the DWP shouldn’t give itself the new powers 👉🏽 7,276 disabled members and unpaid carers shared our experiences in a huge survey 👉🏽 38,665 emailed Mel Stride and the DWP with our demands 👉🏽 6,251 of us voted on how to escalate this campaign at every level 👉🏽 1 petition hand-in at Number 10 Downing Street with our partners at 38 Degrees and Big Brother Watch"
