    Once this goes through, the amount off court cases and tribunerals will go through the roof, however i am expecting this to get watered down a lot once it even gets to law.

    We are slowly starting to hear many more voices being heard now! we need this to go much further! starmer enough is enough

    As for scotland, ADP, i was reading while the budget gets administered to scotland they to may have to find extra funding if they wish to stop the anual freeze.

    My conditions are worse through stress, I have ptsd, and autism as well. I haven't let my daughter know about pip, she works and gets it, she has bpd and autism plus problems now with her eyes, she been through a lot lately, it's so unfair we get so little. Starmer with his freebies as well. Horrible man, thinks he's it strutting around the globe thinking he's someone important on the world stage.

    I think they also need to get rid of Starmer. I don’t know a single person who likes him. This time it was a protest vote against the Tory’s , next time it’ll be a protest vote against labour

    I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere above. ITN report that all Lagour MPs are being summoned to Downing Street this week:

    All it will require for Labour to get hammered would be for a lot of their own former voters to just stay home. I'll start checking tomorrow but I bet a good number of this crew are on pretty small majorities to begin with.

    nope - I’ve had mps from a few constituencies from my own help me out with a reassessment issue and they were nice enough to follow up afterwards (my previous mp just didn’t give a toss about his constituents)

    Prehaps they don’t prioritise your emails but either don’t mention you’re a constituent in their area or just be honest and explain why you are contacting them specifically

    Can’t believe IDS seems to be speaking sense. What world are we in?!

    They had a reasonable majority there so even a narrow Labour victory would show the tide is turning somewhat.

    I was told that too. The stress of all these proposed changes is really starting to get to me.
