Welfare reform: Davey fears for vulnerable disabled people

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has criticised government plans to tighten eligibility for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) from November 2026, warning they could push vulnerable people into poverty.

Speaking about his own experiences as a carer, he expressed concern that many disabled people and their carers could lose vital support, saying, "It’s the sort of thing that will keep people up at night." Report by Covellm.

It comes as a super-injunction blocking reporting about the “horrific” leak of data was lifted. The Ministry of Defence only became aware of the breach when excerpts from the dataset were posted anonymously on a Facebook group in August 2023, and a super-injunction was granted at the High Court in an attempt to prevent the Taliban from finding out about the leak.
