! Rishi's agenda on disability and sickness - your voice is needed for evidence!

AnnonymousReportings

On the subject of Rishi's speech on his intentions to strip GP's of the right to issue fit notes, his victim blaming agenda to try and force ill and disabled people into work, I believe he may be committing a criminal offence of causing people harassment, alarm and/or distress with his speech and intentions.

Therefore, I have made a poll for evidence of this.  There is already evidence in various articles that state that people have contacted various charities and helplines, the wording used has been that people have been "concerned" among other things. 

Martin lewis says he's had people who have had to increase their medication on the back of this, people haven't been sleeping on the back of these announcements.  He adds that it has had a practical impact on people's mental health.   He said about himself giving advice to people who ARE "panicked" and "worried". 

In another article, It was described that someone found Sunak's proposals "terrifying" and James taylor from scope is quoted in another article saying "calls are pouring into our helpline from concerned disabled people".

In many comments on articles and Facebook posts, people are making clear that they are many things such as worried, terrified, concerned, upset, distressed. anxious etc.  These all fall under the umbrella of harassment, alarm or distress.  I personally have felt harassed, alarmed and distressed by his speech.

This poll needs your input for evidence for reporting Rishi for the crime of causing harassment, alarm or distress.  Poll is anonymous. Thank you. 

By Rishi's speech and agenda/proposals, have you felt:

Hey there @AnnonymousReportings and welcome to the community.

I think we're all a bit concerned about what will happen, but I know a lot of us are responding to the green paper so we can all have our say.  You can also email your MP with a copy of the Scope Manifesto which will help our voices be heard.

Thanks Albus, I'll check that out, at the moment I am focused on reporting Rishi for committing the criminal offence of causing people harassment, alarm or distress.

What tips would you give to someone messaging an MP for the first time? I'm thinking of emailing my MP to mention my concerns about the PIP reforms. I know Jeremy Hunt and Mel Stride have dismissed Scope's efforts and aren't listening to us,but every time I see Grahame Morris on PMQs, he always comes across as decent and empathetic to his constituents.

I'm a bit nervous, so any help and tips is appreciated.
