    Yep, AND lots of the population too.

    Why do so many people think they’re above us? What makes them so personally superior?
    Then they come out with: “well my mum’s cousin’s husband’s sister had xyz condition and SHE still managed to work!” as though every disability presents exactly the same in everyone

    @Ross1975 If Corbyn or anyone on his Front Bench were PM, Reeves and Kendall would not be in Cabinet.

    People said they voted for change well they got that alright and all of us have to suffer as a consequence.

    There's a saying that springs to mind

    "Be careful what you wish for"

    I didn't vote Liebour myself.

    Lmao. You removed three short statements that stated Keir Starmer's track record that you can widely find with a simple google search, which supported my claim. That's not "uncivil" nor did I insult WhatThe.

    You're right that he had nothing to do with those cuts. But what he does next is on him. He spent more time fighting the left than anything benefiting disabled people.

    Also the disabled community didn't stop paying attention. If anything, the disability community have gotten more politically active in recent years.

    The key to the green paper to look out for is the word "engagement", they want everyone to engage is some way, shape or form.

    For example - (Peter who is out of work due to a disability) "has replied to a message from your work coach in your Universal Credit journal, you have fulfilled your commitments". The message would be a heads up, how you are, how you feel, voluntary offers of training would most likely be on the table, most likely online training courses, it will all be a box ticking exercise.

    Case and point if you can't work, you can't work, how many times does Starmer need to get that?

    "The detail of the plans will be unveiled next week by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall"

    They are determined to push this 😥

    It says in this article about reassessments for benefits. I really can't go through anymore reassessments. I just went through the PIP one again last year. I am terrified and can't do this anymore.

    When Ed Miliband was Leader he gave a speech about just meeting someone and "clearly able to work", at the time his comments were nothing short of disgusting, then the Tories

    focused every speech on "hard working people" then "working people" and Labour use every single speech to say the same, Does this mean non hardworking/working people dont bother voting Labour again?

    what Reeves wants will never happen not because of the fiscal rules they cannot talk #brexit

    and the impact that's having will mean the level of Growth she needs the only avenue is savage cuts, they have learned nothing from 2010 when the Condems decided on the same policies.

    Not once have they said in speeches about the upcoming cuts long covid and the NHS

    are clearly main factors in increased claims, Its all spun as people either unable to work

    owing to not enough support or people not wanting to work owing to a bit of "stress"

    her comments about taking the mickey tell us exactly her views.

    They have a duty of care to make sure EVERY single speech they keep telling people there will be sick/disabled people who can never work, need the support PIP gives because the alternative is local councils imploding and these people being in terrible trouble.

    Sounds Dramatic at the moment but unless MP's learn the lessons from 2010 and tell the Govt they cant support these cuts then the same outcome awaits many of them.

    You cannot call these "reforms" when they key objectives are savings, they are all acting so superior over assisted dying bill. what on earth is this level of stress doing to people already with huge issues?

    Imagine a Minister catching a tummy bug the normal meds not working do they go ahead give that speech and soil themselves live on TV or do they cancel? I think we all know

    utterly shameful and flies in the face of everything Labour was created.

    It sounds like we will all be joining you if what's written in that article comes to pass.

    Hi Meg it's taken me 40 years to get a diagnosis and I knew something like this was going to happen so last year I made the decision to ask the psychiatrist to put my diagnosis on my GPs medical records , I have suffered anxiety and depression all my life and I am diagnosis with EUPD and PTSD

    I really didn't want to be labeled but I knew this curropt government was up to something

    Please ask your GP to send you to a MH service for a diagnosis explain to your doctor that you need to diagnosis

    IIt's Disgusting I'm having to tell you to do this but we need to fight for our MH xx

    I just got awarded my pip too for cancer and I had 2 failed hip replacements , I'm in chronic pain too and it seems like they are targeting this group too , how they think we can go looking for work is just unbelievable

    I'm so worried like everyone else

    Take care at this horrible time
