Though it may be some time away, it won't only be Scotland either.

but with no real opposition to the changes how long could this take roughly ? And does this affect current claimants or future claimants? Could they really cut hundreds of pounds monthly from our money ? I know you only know what’s been leaked but going by past changes .

exactly, they seem to be throwing money around while making cut backs to the sick and disabled. Even talking about taking money from LCWRA to then increase the amount of payments for the fit and healthy who can work. I don’t think the Tory’s were that bad .

OOh yes and once upped uc for those trying to find work once all through change again I can't see how they could ever get away with it but I'm sure they have a loophole the time is now to attack we only have one chance otherwise 3 years we will be handing back our house keys no money it's scary to say but that will be the reality they will start with new clients roll that out then change pip to one benefit and get the rest of lwcra off that and not eligible for pip your right letters like pertitions they would wipe thier @@@@ onit and laugh we are in a war and trust me they want to win ellen clifford cannot do on her own john pring can't we are the voices how do we get heard it's literally speak now or forever hold you peace

No — 2025/26 rates will rise as announced and will absolutely not be changed, so don’t worry about that.
Any hypothetical freezes would come into effect in 2026/27 at the earliest.2 -
that sounds like the itv leak wasn’t an intended leak from gov but perhaps an mp or civil servant who didn’t like the direction things were going and wanted to prewarn the public and give more time for disabled community to get ducks in row
If the leak was planned I think the launch of the green paper would be announced for no later than Wednesday. I raised an eyebrow when I read it wasn’t on the official gov/commons weekly calendar
Why else would starmer be going into meeting overdrive trying to convince labour mps (and I bet he was behind that ‘get Britain gov support’ group supporting reforms before it launched and mps have a chance to read it - I think most of those 35 members are new members selected by starmer team)
Could those in London confirm that fishy smell is coming from a certain landmark 🫠

just to remind members
We have no 100% official confirmed details from the disability green paper
Only leaks (though the itv leaks looks increasingly solid I imagine Kendall and co will be editing green paper till the last minute)

I just wish they would hurry up and tell us what their evil plans are.

so according to the i report the government think in order to win the next election they need to be more ruthless than the Tory’s and reform. They really are clueless.

Hi everyone. I hope you're doing as well as can be in these scary times. Please take care and reach out if needed, even if its just on here. We aren't alone in this fight.
Sorry if this seems like a silly question but politics isn't my strong point and thankfully until now, I haven't ever had to contact a MP but now I feel I must for all our sake. I live in Scotland and personally vote SNP. I have both Labour and SNP MPs in my area. Should I contact them both or only just Labour?

Me too.

and Debbie abrams is leading the fight back
She would be my vote to replace starmer if he can’t be talked down from whatever bad advice he’s following right now (she’s actually a central leaning mp, not heavy left and been an mp for 14 years)

I read the release of green paper is delayed till next week. If that’s correct then they must need time to convince their back benchers or make changes. Hopefully someone will correct me if I’m wrong here as my brain fogs bad right now.

This is presumably what’s happening, although it COULD be that it was never intended to come out this week after all, it’s been very unclear and a date was never officially announced beyond “in the spring” and “before the budget”.
I just really hope the backbenchers who are against this aren’t swayed.
Did anyone else see Diane Abbott’s tweet about how she tried to attend the meeting but was told it was “full”? She seems to be very much against any cuts.3
