just watched a newish YouTube channel. The justice journeys . She’s knowledgeable and used to work at DWP . It’s a long live steam where she talks about the green paper and answers questions. She also say towards the end there will be ppl quietly working behind the scenes for us and she doesn’t think this will all go through as the the Tory green paper was as bad as this and got overturned in court

How dare they do this they know the effect it's having I get moments of pure terror and then anger in my moments of clarity I think there is no way they will get away with this!!!! Lack of sleep food constant worry lays heavy on us I do get comfort when people explain how long it will take and all the support in the back ground to say it's not torturous would be lying we are been forced to look to the future in a cruel and sinister way they knew this would case mass hysteria but I believe they thought it would excite the general public but they alginate all of the uk pls know you are not alone hold in there I'm saying this to myself sometimes things don't end up as bad as we think what they want and what they get are two different things many people to talk to on here your never ever alone let's us know how you are later if you can x

She is a Tory. And so is Starmer and Kendall. It now feels as if Labour lost the election and a new brutal Hard Right Tory government is in place. Starmer is a horrible man in my view. When Israel cut off water and food to Gazans he said 'Israel have a right to do that.' No compassion whatsoever.

This. How politicians approach Israeli apartheid towards Palestinians are how they'd treat everyone else if they could get away with it. Hence why so many of the most vocal right wingers/supporters of these benefit cuts are Zionists.

Thanks its the name of one of our cats lol
I totally agree with everything you are saying. There will not be enough jobs for the amount of people they now expect to work.

Not quite.
Looking at disability issues through either the medical or social models is flawed. Using a mixed model approach is best, because it includes the strengths of both perspectives while addressing the drawbacks.
Also the true culprit behind all this is capitalist ideology, where disabled people (and other groups) who cannot contribute to the means of production are seen as defective. What you're describing is one of many arguments that capitalists and eugencists use to justify their agenda.
Agreed. So many issues plaguing British society can be fixed by addressing the housing crisis. That includes seizing second homes from landowners to reuse as council housing. There's more second homes than homeless people.

Thanks to Scope I have looked at the consultation questions and stopped at question #2 because I was laughing so hard at the sheer audacity and stupidity of the question.
LadyTinks, it's really not worth imagining the worst when these are only proposals and there's a growing movement to quash them..
Don't torment yourself over what might happen with your benefits. Carry on enjoying your car (when you feel calmer) and your rail card. Nobody likes being stuck indoors do they?
What does question #2 ask?
I could do with a laugh 😄

I can do the Highland Flick do you think that will go against me

I know, though they now say labour hasn’t gone far enough as the Tory’s found £12b of savings. It’s as though they’re all trying to outdo each other in the battery of the disabled
