    I think because reeves has made a mess up, and she wants growth. She's doing this. She still going on about a black hole which I think is a lie. There wasn't one to begin with just a excuse to tax, hit pensioners, farmers, now us maybe to cover their spending to train drivers, and mad milliband net zero ideas. I

    I’ve just found this and it’s helped calm me and stopped me dwelling on the newspaper stuff. I’m sharing in the hope it will help others

    Thank you, yes the media are gunning for the disabled. Don't they think having a disability is hard enough without them slagging us off as spongers

    I have to have a travel pillow to sleep because of my neck, knee supports, back brace wrist brace etc because of my painful joints. Fatigue , digestive problems. Inhalers from copd from being a cleaner. Oh yes having a great time suffering. Sorry for my rant. Makes me sick

    I was stupid and thought labour would understand, it’s not our fault we’re on benefits and a bit of compassion and understanding from the government would go a long way, I felt better for about three weeks after the election then it was back to the attacks again. At least we have scope and a few charities on our side any changes won’t be straight away but still it’s horrible for us I wish they’d just understand that 😞

    So work coaches have the power to say your fit for work

    @mangomungo The only way they could truly understand is if they have experienced the pain and disrespect having either a disability or an invisible disability or personally know someone they see often to know what they go through the challenges there backed up against... whilst on the subject of politics, we hope we never ever have an English version of Trump

    Yes thankfully we have scope for up to date guidance and advice. But roll on spring/summer when we all finally no what to expect. Rather than us getting in a mess abour all of the "what ifs"! Ti mess about with our head

    I think it would be a good idea for politicians to have to live off of benefits for a week and see how they get on, it’s true though they don’t realise sat up in their million pound houses how it feels. But at least we have each other here and we’re not alone

    Because thanks to reeves autumn budget ,the economy isn't growing. So she's either putting up taxes again or cutting costs. She's blaming the fictional black hole. If they stop funding wasteful projects like milliband daft ideas. Paying train drivers who on huge wage as it is. We wouldn't be in this mess.

    I think this only confirms everything else we've already read.Its just very good use of language in a very political and flowery way.To be forewarned is to be forearmed isn't that what they say?.It's horrendous

    The website The Canary has done an analysis that sections of the MSM have been targeting those who are out of work due to ill mental health, I should add that the Canary is to the Left politically and makes no bones about it but I'm more interested in the subject matter of the article.

    It's not just about depression and anxiety, it's a wholesale downplaying of mental illness within certain sections of the Media and Political parties including sections of Labour, Reform and the Tories which not only places the individual with a mental illness in harms way but could potentially place the wider public in danger.

    Do you not agree with us transitioning to a green economy? If I may say so, labelling people sounds very Trumpian.

    There is more than a whiff of conspiracy theory emanating from this thread.

    Please get to know people here a bit better before judging them.

    some people are scared and they will express their concerns and fears they have and I don't see anything here that's a conspiracy, just how they see things and what concerns them.

    I see some people refusing to worry on principle because their lives are already hard enough, and others who can't control their fears and need support.

    Once you get to know people better you'll realise what each persons needs are in regard to information required to help them and the best way to support their individual situations and worries.

    I apologise if I was out of order, I could have expressed myself better, on reflection.

    In future I shall try to offer a counter narrative in a more constructive manner.
