    I certainly hope that pip never becomes means tested because I would lose the benefit and how is that even fair because I worked hard for years and saved some money for my old age.

    The savings I have don't qualify me for means tested benefits and as such I didn't qualify for the cost of living payments, neither do I qualify for rent rebate and I only get single persons council tax.

    I never qualified for free prescriptions or warm home discount.

    The new Labour mp who beat Liz Truss , did it for who his late father who was let down bt the welfare state and NHS after having a stroke and died at 65. Very touching speech

    I was also disappointed to see Stride keep his seat. There are a couple of Tories who lost their seats who I think are more moderate and may have been better leader candidates than some of those who survived. I am not a Tory voter but would rather they were more moderate in their policies just in general - that is where Tories have usually been.

    My seat ended up much more marginal than I expected. Incumbent Tory held on but lost most of his majority. Local seats I was also watching both went Labour. One gave me particular pleasure given the nasty things he has said and done that have affected people in my constituency, even though he isn't our MP.

    Our incumbent could be worse. Hoping that the loss of his majority will spark him into more action and less complacency about important local issues. Not sure if he will work with the neighbouring Labour folk. Not sure they get along. He did used to work with a previous Labour neighbour, but I guess it's about personal chemistry.

    I am so happy to see the greens and libs get seats as well.
