To be honest I think since covid and all governments coming together all over the world is leading up to this all part of the plan we are heading for a dystopian society going back to covid it has been forgotten I was lucky to have the choice not to have any jabs people was having DNR when the families didn't request that it's unforgivable all of it we must keep fighting it's like the films and history when you see one person just one person standing against or fighting for what they believe time is running out what is everyone going to do to make a difference I've emailed my mp 20 times I really don't care I've emailed rayner and quiet a mps asking them why they agree with these proposals

Your welcome, it more annoyed me than anything else, especially when there are more important issues going on at the moment. I hope youv'e not been too upset about those comments, and certainly don't feel embarrassed, we all have different things that affect our daily lives on this forum, wether mental or physical. I myself use this forum for help, support, motivation, or just a friendly 'voice' , I don't come on to read ridiculous comments about someones grammar which had no basis for this thread or discussions. Anyways, rant over, lets all move on now, but hope you were not too upset by it all!!

Hi Cath, I'm good thanks. I'm sure the government will link their immoral cuts to anything they think they can get away with. At the moment, disabled people are to blame for everything according to Starmer & Reeves

The government plans to spend £4.5 billion on weapons for Ukraine BUT the country has no steel production? Starmer seems to be planning to send bows and trebuchets to Ukraine? And at the same time they are taking £5 billion from disabled people. It looks like a scam.
Hahaha(((…
😓

I'm looking forward to the local elections in May …..
It's looking like Liebour could be in for a severe beating which will lead to discontent in the ranks …
Bring it on !

Proposed PIP cuts already causing harm to people living with SMI
Warning: this article includes repeated references to self-harm and suicide
The proposed changes to the PIP scoring system will affect many claimants living with severe mental illness (SMI) and some have already experienced a deterioration in their health, a Benefits and Work survey suggests.
What you can do
If, due to being misled, MPs vote in favour of the Green Paper changes it will mean disaster for large numbers of claimants. From November 2026 until after the next general election at least 10,000 claimants every month will lose their PIP. This will include many living with SMI.
Please draw the attention of your MP to this issue.
Ask them to ask the secretary of state for work and pensions to publish a breakdown by health condition detailing how many claimants get the PIP care component without scoring 4 points or higher.

Hi everyone, I haven’t been on here for a few days so don’t know if this has already been posted. There’s an article on the guardian site which says data has been shown to Labour MPs which claims 80 of them risk losing their seat next election due to benefits cuts . Including Wes streeting and Jess Philips . I don’t know how to link it here sorry
