Would you personally be able to read 200 emails a day. Alot of companies do use AI to auto read emails. Job sites do it too because of the volume of applications. But everyone must protest the cuts and not give up.

I don’t know if this is already being done as I’m not on social media but what about compiling a list of MPs who are voting for the cuts and posting it over social media? Shame them all especially the ones who are being quiet .

That is fantastic news!! 👏
All the news and information I have read and I've not seen that anywhere. 😮 I'm sure you are right but can you remember where you saw that information?

it’s on benefits and work and daily mirror I believe. You may need to google it though as I think I read it a couple of days ago

This is good news for a few but it was the same when PIP replaced DLA. Anyone born before a certain date remained on DLA. No doubt there are people in their 70s and older who are still on DLA.

Does anyone know the date the White Paper will be launched? Presumably it will include a draft Bill?
Waiting for the end of the Green Paper consultation period such as it is would have been wiser but they are what they are.

PasserbyPosts: 181 Empowering2:49AM"Keir Starmer has regularly spoken about the importance of Judaism to his family, and has shared that Friday night dinners are a tradition. Shabbat is a “rock in the week,” he has said."
YET Hardie’s present-day successor and namesake, Sir Keir Starmer, is an atheist. He told
The Sunday Times Magazine in 2021: “I am not of faith, I don’t believe in God — but I can see the power of faith and the way it brings people together.”

People also need to know they might only see an MP's representative when they attend a surgery.

@MW123 Ignore my post. I've done some googling and have found the news on Benefits and Work, The Daily Record and the Mirror.
Thank you so much for telling me about this news. 😊
It still doesn't take the misery and worry away from the vast majority of disabled people though. 😞
I will still be campaigning against these vile proposals as I am so deeply concerned about the effects they will have on the working age disabled, including on fellow members of this community, so it's business as usual here for me. 👍

Thank you for your very kind words! 😀
The monarchy and the honours system is all part of why rich, privileged people regardless of whether they are of good character or not are so greatly respected in this very unequal country.
If you are poor or disabled you are considered to be of poor character, a scrounger and fraudulent. This is despite the majority being of good character, genuinely disabled and honest. 😡
I'm certainly not holding my breath for any positive changes in our class culture anytime soon.

In my personal opinion, saying that severely disabled 18 to 21-year-olds must wait until 22 to access extra support, even if they meet the strict PIP criteria, would be very hard to defend as "proportionate" under the Equality Act 2010.
Severely disabled young adults are an extremely vulnerable group. Many will never be able to work because of the severity of their disabilities. Making them wait for support that older disabled adults would already be receiving could easily be seen as punishing them for their age alone.
If the changes do get passed by Parliament and become law, a legal challenge could potentially be brought. If that challenge was successful, it would benefit the whole affected group, not just the individual who brought the case. However, it would ultimately be for the courts to decide. If the court rules that the exclusion is discriminatory, the government would have to stop applying the rule and change it to comply with the law.

To me it doesn't matter whether Starmer, Timms or IDS are religious or atheists, they are all sadistic, immoral tyrants, hiding behind a thin veneer of respectability, so they can gaslight others to come round to their way of thinking. 😣

Thank you for your help, looking for me 😊👌 but I have googled it myself and read about it.
I just think that I was still just really stunned about the good news. 😳 It hasn't really sunk in yet.
However, the majority of disabled people are still nowhere near retirement age and have these vile proposals hanging over them and I do not feel any less strongly about the position they are being put into, including the people on this community.
It is morally indefensible and I will still be campaigning against it, in the same way as I was doing before. ✊

Yes, thanks for reminding me, I can remember that now. 👍
That's the problem, it's only good news for a few, about these proposals.
The many still have this horrible prospect in front of them and despite my good news I shall still be taking a stand against this vile Green Paper on this community and elsewhere.
I will not ease up on campaigning as I cannot stand by and see other disabled people treated in this dispicable way. 😞

This is all the information provided, Catherine. I’m not sure whether it will be via MS Teams or Zoom.
