Mp response

I got a letter back from my mp after writing to him regarding disability cuts as am at my wits end with worry

The letter I received back blamed it all on the Tory’s told me he believed everyone who can work should work told me to engage with pathways to work

I will never again vote labour in my lifetime. They lied have made things worse for people like me and have gone after the vulnerable they are as corrupt as the Tory’s but I’m so disappointed that none of the promises they said in manifesto they have done. They removed pensioners fuel allowance gone after disabled

They think of no one and what this is doing to their mental health

Fab response @Catherine21. Keep up the good work everyone. Even if you're not always getting the response you want (or any 😬) it's clearly having a huge impact by banging on their doors so to speak! 💪

My MP is Neil Duncan-Jordan and he is one of the Labour MPs vociferously against these cuts. I wrote to him and had a very encouraging response. He knows how we feel and is really fighting for us. There are some good ones out there it seems!

I haven't mailed my MP as he has been suspended. He was one in the WhatsApp group that said some pretty damming things about their constituencies. I have mailed him in the past about various topics around disability, CSE/CSA and his responses are very scripted. He's a career MP, who worships Starmer, so I'm not going to waste my time, I'm not even sure if he will be our MP after his abhorrent antics. I hope a lot of people don't vote Labour tomorrow, message heeds sending to them, they are on a path of destruction.

Just remember, tomorrows elections should be about voting who's best for your area, not the country. 😊

I'd like to echo Albus. I am a Labour councillor (but in an area with no elections tomorrow). Everyday I wake up and wonder if it's the day that I will leave the Labour party, by choice or force.

Today I sent a stock email to her and had a reply when I got home basically saying that the NHS is going to be great and they are going to work with the independent health sector so that workers don't have to have so much time off waiting for an operation. Mandelson type spin. Independant seems to tbe the replacement word for private. Private healthcare harms the NHS, it costs more than the same treatment by the NHS does and there is no follow up service. Significantly more private patients who undergo surgery end up in A&E for follow up treatment than NHS surgical patients. Our new hospital has been annouoced, its right behind the current one. I've taken part in the current NHS consultation but I have no faith that it will ever see light of day if people have responded as I did.

If I was voting tomorrow, it would definintely come down to candidate rather than party but I do hope that people out there do remember that local council candidates are not the same as the national parliamentary party, yet. At my level as a voluntary, unpaid town councillor it probably will never happen, they'd have to remember us first🤣

There are no local elections in my area tomorrow either. But if I had to vote, I would have voted either the Greens or the Lib Dem just for the sake of not voting Labour, the Cons, and Farage's fascist club.
