I’ve also thought about this . From what I heard previously they cancelled bringing in cuts that were due to start had the Tory’s won the election. I remember Kendall or reeves saying it wouldn’t be right . It was mentioned on A different bias also who explained it far better than me . But it wouldn’t be unusual for them to pretend to bring in legislation and claim it wasn’t possible due to opposition but they don’t have any opposition if it goes to a vote. Tory’s are united against us which is the only time they are united.

Timms just said this in the HOC
Social security and disability minister Stephen Timms has told the Commons that the government will strike a "balance" between support for those who cannot work and helping those who can find a job.
He told MPs: "We will deliver proper employment support for disabled people, which has been taken away since 2010.
"We will deal with the incentives to inactivity, which the current system presents.
"But there will, of course, always be people unable to work through disability or ill health, and we are absolutely committed to fully supporting them too."
As people have already asked and posted about, who decides on people who truly cannot work? what support will they get or just years more fear about being pestered when experts have said in point blank medical terms the nature of the condition they have makes for a terrible quality of life and they need ideally to be in full time nursing care, as the condition has now gone terminal but the nature of the condition its near impossible on a time frame.
Of course he's talking about me in a letter he sent them. they STILL got it wrong…then said they never had this letter.
Kendall then gets back up and talks about Trust and understanding. Oh please,
we all know what comes next, making large parts AI operated so when you need help its a chatbot like the Banks use.

They haven’t announced anything. A lot of the things you’ll see about WCA changes 2025 is from the Tories’ plans last year.

Yes this 100%. She’s been told by both top economists and even the OBR that they can ‘slacken fiscal rules’ to equip for increased defence? I think it’s for two reasons.. she fancies herself as a leading player on the European stage, leading light in the IMF perhaps or some huge hedge fund and so she’s Labour in name but ‘ ‘Right’ as hell in practise. She’s fixing her soft landing exit? Secondly.. I’ve said it a few times on this forum.. she’s going to tax the masses soon, raise UK taxes universally. That’s more palatable if she’s seen to hit the disabled first and hit us hard? Morgan McSweeny and Pat McFaddens paws are all over this debacle. They even repeat the same sound bites during interview… It’s the ‘Labour’ party. Ad nauseam beating up of those who cannot work… shameless.

my autism is severe I require someone to "speak for me" in person and on the phone, I have impaired coordination and walk into things and regularly fall, My short term memory is dangerously bad, I can't judge distance ot speed (for example crossing the road) and I can't learn anything complex even if shown a thousand times.
but I can honestly say I'm not worried at all, I know deep down they won't get away with picking and choosing which disabilities are worthy etc, they are playing with lives not deciding which banana is the ripest in the fruit isle of Sainsbury's.

"What happens if I am unable to work due to my health?
If you genuinely cannot work, you may still qualify for support. However, you may be asked to engage in work-related activities to prove ongoing eligibility."
****!

what manifesto? I don’t remember reading about anything they’ve done so far . Had they said they were going to stab waspinwomen in the back and stop sick disability benefits etc ppl would have probably preferred the Tory’s .

Labour doubled down on the Tory WCA changes after Ellen Clifford took the changes to court and the judge ruled them unlawful due to a lack of honesty/transparency.

What a state of affairs. There is now no alternative to Right Wing ideology because our Labour Government has adopted cruel and callous Right Wing Austerity policies. Starmer is the worst Labour Leader of all time, pandering to the Elite and the Oligarchs in the same manner Trump and Musk are doing in the USA. Starmer's government is in fact less caring and socialist than the last Tory government were. Defies all belief. Who the hell do we vote for now in the future? They now all protect the super rich and make the poorest poorer. I hope they rot in Hell.

They mistakenly think claimants are as greedy and money obsessed as them, and wrongly believe we have LCWRA for 'lolz" when (how shocking) it's because we're genuinely disabled enough to qualify for it.

I’m thinking about the best way to end it all, I’ve been trying to stay positive but however I look at it I can’t see a way out. I like everyone else simply can’t work, I wish I could but I can’t. These people are beyond evil, I hope one day they get to feel what it’s like to have very little and then have that taken away.

Oh and by the way I complained to Ofcom and IPSO (I know it won't make a difference but still) complaining about the misinformation and disinformation, the demonising and the downplaying towards disabled people on benefits on newspaper sites such as the Times, Daily Mail, Telegraph and the Sun.
I told them that because of the fact they are not holding these news sites to account that they are enabling such propaganda which to my knowledge contravenes the equality act 2010 in regards of incitement to hate on grounds of disability.
It was cathartic and uplifting to write a whole complaint.

Liz Kendall: We know there will always be people that cannot work because of the nature of their disability or health condition and those people will be protected.
Whatever that means

"May' disgraceful!
and they can "ask" what they like but I for one am proving nothing to them when I've been diagnosed by experts in all my conditions and classed by them as incapable of functioning in daily life.
