The Telegraph

I've just read the headlines on "The Telegraph" that Liz kendal has been forced to shelve £3billion Benefits cuts. I'm no Telegraph reader, and I'm not seeing the entire thing as its behind a pay wall. I did see however there were hundreds of comments, also I can't get to read those. Would be interesting to see their thoughts. I'm sure they are less than favourable towards us.

Anyway if anyone can find out more it would be a bonus.

Funny how this is only in The Telegraph. Would've thought it'd been picked up by other papers as well. If this is true,then it gives us some hope.

@Ironside1990 it's on a few other sites too.

@Santosha12 Yes indeed I saw that,shows the calibre of what kind of morons we are up against. You'd think they'd get wise. It's just hateful rhetoric. They can all sit around laughing at it in the Jolly good old boys club.

No regard for the hurt they cause in any direction.

@Santosha12 To wish death on anyone is a very low blow.

He'd best be very careful what he wishes for.Karma usually dosent miss the mark and things can backfire.

As a Buddhist I believe in karma totally. I do not wish ill on anyone but let's leave his rather quite sickening comment to higher powers.

JessieJ

As I said elsewhere, Boris & his government said & did much worse during Covid or is that all forgotten/forgiven now? !!

I'm sick of all politicians of whatever colour flag they're under, they care not a jot about anyone but themselves & any good ones don't stand a chance. I believe in karma, but it seems to me, most are Teflon coated.

At least what has just come out about the £3bn cuts is good news…for now!

Doglover2

@JessieJ I will never forget the past 14+ years of horror.

None of them care right across the board.

Kossoff1959

A few weeks ago our prime minister went to Kiev and signed and agreement to support that country for 100 years (this is a fact, however ridiculous it seems). Of course, we will continue to supply weapons and munitions at no cost, but among other things agreed, the U.K. will guarantee an annual cash payment of £3 billion. This is our welfare being given to the most corrupt regime on the planet. Since Trump took office, he has demanded an accounting to the $175 billion cash given to the regime. The president in that country has publicly admitted that he and his officials have no idea where $100 billion has gone. Everyone needs to contact their MP, their dedicated charity, such as Diabetes U.K. and demand that £3 billion per annum needs to stay in our welfare system and not poured into that cesspool in Eastern Europe.

Do you think the DWP losing in court, had a part in this? There was plenty of backlash from Disabled people and charities, saying it'll push us into poverty.

I think these whats app messages that have been exposed are merely the ones that have so far been 'handed over' by the daily mail.The media as always have Huge control in politics as so many politicians act and behave in ways like this pillock.

@Summerlove I emailed mine a while ago re my situation for my Last pip renewal, was totally ignored.

First time in my life I tried to get help from Him.

Not a peep back.

I hold little value to them. Tbh you only see them when they want votes.

Doglover2

@Ironside1990 Yes I guess there's been a possible impact from the court ruling.

It let's them see nothing everyone will go down without a fight.

They have to expect strong opposition from the sick ,disabled and charities.

All help is needed and appreciated.

@Catherine21 I'm seriously hoping it's true. There's not a whole lot of info out there as of yet. So we will see.

But The Telegraph must know something we don't, they aren't ever exactly on our side.

Let's just wait and see if anymore comes from it.

I've been into Buddhism majority of my life.

I find it peaceful, even if sometimes I can't get my mind to slow down.

WhatThe

Is this to good to be true ???

Yes, just another useless report published in something called Parliament Politics. It says this -

Officials have affirmed their plans for a public consultation on the proposed welfare changes in the spring, assuring that the targeted financial savings will remain on track.

With the reforms now scheduled for April, concerns have been raised that Ms Reeves might need to increase taxes again or make cuts to essential public services.

WhatThe

Liz Kendall pressured to halt £3bn reform proposal

Perhaps The Telegraph bot misinterpreted this heading from a random website which sounds important but isn't!

Nothing has happened.

I love the way Helen whatshername acts as though it's a BAD things that unqualified JobCentre employees won't be allowed to make decisions about people's health instead of actual professionals.

How thick could you get?

. Hi Doglover. I thought about contacting my MP about it but I'm in two minds really. I did contact him once about an animal welfare issue that's close to my heart. I eventually got an email back about frequent flying! Not a lot of interest to the person who can't even get into her garden now. I'd love to have seen the face of whoever got an email about greyhound racing! Some time later I got a reply about trophy hunting. While I disagree with it I'd not contacted him about it. I think I must have been filed under animal rights supporter.

I used to see my local MP in a nearby cafe when I used to meet friends there. So if he wanted to call in and visit me I'm not far away . I'll even give him a free coffee. And a biscuit if he asks me nicely😁.

Much as I'd like him to wear my shoes for a week I really don't think he'd listen.
