Labour MP calls out DWP's lies

‘Rebel’ MP calls out Labour lies on Motability changes

Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan has called the government out for falsely saying that Motability changes won’t impact disabled people.

Duncan-Jordan has worked with Transport For All and 70 other disabled people’s organisations to prove that this is not true.

Neil Duncan-Jordan holds Labour to account again

The MP for Poole has a history of holding his own party’s government to account. In July 2025, Duncan-Jordan was one of four MPs who lost the whip for being a big catalyst in Labour MPs opposing the horrific benefits cuts.

On Twitter, he said:

Ministers said Motability changes wouldn’t impact disabled people.

Transport For All has compiled testimony from disabled people that calls this into question.

I’ve written to the Government with 70 organisations raising concerns.

Ministers must listen to disabled people.

The government announced cuts to Motability in the Autumn 2025 budget. What was abundantly clear from Reeves’ rhetoric around this was that Labour were pandering to Twitter right-wing gobshites.

Letter disproves lies about disabled people

Duncan-Jordan also shared the letter that he and the organisations have sent to the Minister for Disabled People, Stephen Timms. As well as requesting a meeting with the minister, he’s impressing on Timms just how important Motability is.

The letter says:

Motability is a vital scheme, and these cuts will create further barriers for disabled people, including those with long-term and progressive conditions, to access employment, education, medical appointments and to live independently.
