Speaking to Sky News: the impact of welfare cuts on constituents

The Government's cuts to support for disabled people will push 250,000 people - including 50,000 children - into poverty, according to the Government's own analysis.

With some of the poorest wards in the country within my Liverpool West Derby constituency, I cannot and will not support this political choice.

On behalf of my constituents, I will be voting against these cuts when they come to Parliament.

Earlier today I spoke to Sky News about my decision.
