I sent an email to my MP regarding my objections , this is part of a generated reply "Going forward, my office aims to reply to routine correspondence regarding policy or campaigns queries within 40 working days" Labour MP for North Herts earning in excess of 90,00 they are voted in,to serve their constituents if I sent out an automated reply such as this I would be sacked.

If any of you also feel like I do I had to condense a more detailed email into 1000 characters in order to contact parliament directly. For those that agree I urge you to send it also , we need to flood the government with our objections and use our vote in May ( just make changes to fit personally ,

Contact Number 10

I strongly oppose the decision on Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which will severely impact vulnerable individuals like my son, who has a learning disability and congenital heart disease. PIP is a vital lifeline, and restricting access is indefensible, especially when public funds are mismanaged elsewhere.

MPs have claimed over £127 million in expenses in 2023 alone, while cutting disability support. The House of Lords costs taxpayers £117m annually, with peers claiming allowances for minimal attendance. King Charles benefited from a £200m inheritance tax exemption , while his Duchy of Lancaster a private estate not taxed as it would be for any other business generates £24m annually, tax-free. Meanwhile, £8m per day is spent on asylum seekers’ hotels, yet disabled citizens face cuts.

Targeting the vulnerable while ignoring financial waste is disgraceful. This decision will cost votes—mine and my extended family's. I urge you to reverse it and ensure fair public spending.

    Just my opinion, but I think it best to remain firmly on topic rather that relate the cuts to Mps' and peers' expenses, the Royal Family, and migrants. Don't muddle a sound case. Keep it clear and polite,
