Approximately one million people in England and Wales could lose disability benefits due to recent government cuts, criticized as "shameful" by numerous celebrities and advocacy groups. Polling suggests that 60% of UK residents feel the government is failing to adequately address poverty. Comedian Rosie Jones highlighted that disabled individuals are anxious about the future, as cuts to disability payments hinder their ability to afford essential resources. The Trussell Trust described the cuts as cruel, irresponsible, and disconnected from public sentiment regarding support for disabled individuals.
