    I think that's pretty much what they've been saying about it all the time. Notably absent in this discussion is PIP, I remember Rachel Reeves saying they weren't planning on getting rid of it, so hopefully they know the difference between ESA and PIP. We can only wait and see what will happen after the election. The one thing I think unlikely is vouchers and receipt systems/catalogue because of the admin involved, even the Tories I don't think can cost and fund that in real time. But I imagine there will be some kind of change. It remains to be seen whether it's a positive or a negative one.

    Help for people who want to work but are being barred by systemic ableism is a good thing. Just so long as they know the line between those who want to work but can't get a job and those who can't work because of their medical conditions. That's the thing we need to know from them really.

    There's no realistic Labour candidate in my local seat anyway. There's a name on the ballot paper but nobody knows anything about him.

    They want the votes. They haven't said anything like the Tories in terms of attacking us or removing benefits. All they've said is that they will bring in protections for those who want to try work so they won't have to have another assessment if it doesn't suit them. They've said before that they won't change the WCA to make it stricter either. So you're wrong.

    Please try not to read too much into the mainstream media and what “could” happen until they’ve revealed their manifesto.
    We have no idea what they want to implement since they haven’t really revealed what their intentions are when it comes to welfare reforms.

    "Continue to clamp down on fraudsters"

    (Unless they sit in the House of Lords...)

    When are we going to see the pandemic thieves brought to justice exactly? You know the ones who pocketed BILLIONS. Like Mone, the Conservative peer, who has still not been brought to account.

    One rule for them, screw everyone else as usual.

    Only this government could propose a crackdown on people with MH problems when we're in the grips of a MH crisis. I don't think we're the problem.

    ^It's all about money at the end of the day. It's OK for them, sitting on their ivory towers, whilst people who need reassurance and support, are living in fear that their support will be taken away from them.

    I hope the Tories get kicked out soon.
