Those who don't oppose this attack on the poorest and disabled are condoning it. I'm talking about politicians, the powerful, those in the media, royalty, celebrities and anyone who is or should be disgusted by the weasel-like U Turn by Starmer & Co promising to tax the wealthiest to balance the books but instead chooses to punch down at the poorest and disabled and take money off us.
I'm going to keep saying this but a 3rd of a million people died under the last round of austerity and nobody in the media or any kind of influence or power of any kind seems overly concerned about it. This next proposed round of austerity may kill 100s of 1000s more people, but of course they are only the poor and disabled so nobody really cares.
I would like Scope as an organisation and other disability charities and organisations to join together and present a coherent case against these proposed cuts and make a noise about it too! I believe we should stand against evil and injustice in high places no matter who and where it comes from. The corruption and mismanagement of the economy by the last Tory government should not be balanced on the backs of those who didn't cause those problems.

Slovinton, yes, there's only so much 'tea and sympathy' I and any of us can take before it starts to look like we're being gently but rather firmly palmed off. The problem is, when these cuts kick in and a number of people lose large chunks of their already tight income and budget, many will suffer and die as a result. All the tea and sympathy and good will from Scope, King Charles or the Smurfs themselves won't make a blind bit of difference. We're having VE celebrations at the moment, a war we fought against fascism and evil, and yet two things deeply bother me: one, we're slowly returning to that injustice and fascism via the back door with all these attacks on the poorest and disabled, and two, many of the people who fought are on some of the lowest benefits and pensions and general welfare in Western Europe! The benefits and pensions should be rising, not being bloody cut! If they want to balance the books let the rich pay for it, open the tax havens and also tax Amazon, Starbucks and so on. But no, citizen Starmer will continue to genocide the poorest whilst pretending to celebrate VE Day. Hypocrites the lot of them.

Ian Byrne is my local Labour MP and a genuinely decent bloke and believer in representative democracy. He listens to his constituents and makes decisions based on those 'surgeries'. He was a backer of a foodbank we attended for over a year when we were really struggling. He was suspended from the Labour Party a few months ago for challenging something unjust Starmer did. Incidentally, Jeremy Corbyn visited the church foodbank a few years ago too. Whatever anyone says about Corbyn he is a principled man.
Anyway I've written to Ian many times and he often writes personal replies in depth rather than just generic replies.
