Please forgive me all for mentioning something you'd all rather forget, but do you all remember Esther McVey? I know, apologises once again. She was in Liz's position, was awful and she went in less than a year, months in fact and so will this one. Liz's departure will be a way of softening the blow. Believe me, it's all pre orchestrated and even Liz doesn't know it.

Someone posted this which I found interesting. Are we being gaslit into believing that the number of "sick" people has grown exponentially?
I quote below from the site.
I emphasize two figures which reveal in 2008/09 the working age percentage who were in receipt of all incapacity benefits was 6.8% and the latest figure for 2023/24 was 6.82%.
In short there is no dramatic increase at all and we are being lied to by government – with this lie being perpetuated and disseminated by lazy journalists.
An increase of 0.02% over 15 years is no rationale or justification for blaming ‘the sick.’
Today sees the Times on its front page and the Financial Times in an article declaring this dramatic increase that simply does not exist. Every other media outlet whether TV, radio, online or print based has stated repeatedly this same alleged ‘dramatic’ increase over the past few weeks on the tell a lie often enough and people believe it to be true basis and nobody could be arsed to check the facts!
What scrutiny do the electorate or journalists give to government if they allow any government to use wholly bogus premises for their assertions, intentions and pledges? Is it any wonder that the lazy electorate is constantly bemoaning there is no difference between Labour and the Tories and becoming disaffected?
Making those who are sick the scapegoat is offensive yet is only allowed because of sheer laziness of the electorate believing it and believing the incredibly lazy media and journalist!

My family don't understand any of this or my disabilities. Don't really have anyone to talk to or any support. I have lots of personal problems anyway and all this extra just sends me over the edge. The anxiety just makes all my physical problems and ptsd attacks worse. I tend to isolate myself too. Justwant to be as small as possible and not exist anymore. So tired of it all.

@JasonRA Wot! Made up statistics? Are you suggesting that governments are capable of lying to us, the people? That there are non investigative journalists that just publish government lies? No, no, it can't be. People in government are all honourable gentlemen and ladies.😏 They are totally incapable of such things. They would never, ever lie to us.
How can you suggest such a thing???!!!!
……..For the record, I am awaiting delivery of my medications.😉

I just feel I have no more fight or defences left. I worked so hard all my life before this. It's so exhausting. As you say, even eating, drinking, basic day to day stuff is too much.

Yes, I know. I am very grateful for all of you being there otherwise I would be completely isolated. This forum is like a chink of light in the overwhelming darkness.

As some intellectual said, either on this website or another one, they have already saved billions. He cited the 3-month LCWRA rule, i.e., new or existing UC claimants can’t get their disability element for 3 months after migrating, that means they are saving around £1,200 per former ESA claimant and UC claimant who needs it and will save A LOT more when the ESA to UC migration gets well underway next year.
Also, the TP, transitional payment is only for 12 months after that, nil, zero. I am getting a top up in the hundreds to make up for the difference between what I was getting on Working Tax Credit and what I will lose on UC. That will save the treasury over £2-3,000 a year! A lot of people aren’t being made aware of this and will be when it kicks in. Also after 12 months on UC, the work coaches get rougher!
They have already cut billions to the benefits bill and especially the disability benefits bill and in a very sly underhand way and a lot of people haven’t even noticed because it hasn’t affected them yet.
I am not sure about this, so perhaps someone can confirm, only one person in a couple can get the LCWRA payment, is that a change? Could both people claim it before? And others have been talking bout the disability element payment from Housing benefit being removed. Others are talking about losing their allowance for their extra room. The amount we have to earn and the number of hours has increased per month. And penalties have been introduced if you don't earn enough, i.e., having your benefits being deducted as if you are earning enough.
I am sure there are other ways they have saved and are saving money, right under our noses. Okay some of it does not apply to disabled claimants but they are definitely saving money all round under the Tory changes to the system. Not forgetting cutting the £300 winter fuel allowance to all pensioners.
All these clickbait headlines are there to distract us from what is really going on.
Just remembered, they changed it around 2017/2018 that new claimants getting LCW didn't get an additional payment and only old LCW claimants could. This has been happening for years now.

Baths used to be my go to anti-stress device, especially with Epsom Salts, but I struggle to get in and out of it these days so now even that has become just another thing to be overcome. I didn't know about Ellen Clifford. What an amazing woman, taking on the government like that. At least there are a few chinks of light here and there. I hope you are okay x
