🔥In this explosive Hot Topic episode, Jordan and Simon unpack the recent controversial U-turn on proposed PIP (Personal Independence Payment) reforms by the UK government. What began as a quiet policy proposal ignited a nationwide backlash from the disabled and neurodivergent community, eventually forcing Keir Starmer and Labour into a last-minute retreat.

🎙️ Key Talking Points:

• The real reason behind the PIP policy reversal
• Who’s actually making these decisions—and why they don’t understand disability
• The protest that changed everything (and the heroes behind it)
• Simon’s story of internalised ableism and navigating the NHS
• Why “welfare reform” often targets the most vulnerable
• The risk of pushing disabled people beyond survival—into silence, debt, or worse

This episode is a powerful mix of political commentary, personal testimony, and unapologetic advocacy for disability rights, highlighting how close the UK came to devastating welfare cuts.
