Kendall’s the worse . God she looks like she possessed by the devil whenever she talks about the disabled. It doesn’t help that it’s the same pic of her everywhere. Her hatred shows she’s not right

I can’t post a link but according to DPAC facebook there’s a graph showing who’s voting for and against. It showed 40 Labour against cuts and 40ish abstaining ( that won’t work they’ll lose their seat the traitors) , 5 Reform for cuts and all Tory’s against plus some others . Don’t know if it’s true as I can’t read online Times . Or where they got that information from.

Strange how once Labour or the Tories are out of power they're totally against benefit cuts.

Remember that Reform are not and never will be friends of disabled people, I know these cuts are on Labour but Reform would go even further which is madness given many reform supporters are on forms of in or out of work benefits. Clacton is one of the most deprived areas in Britain and yet they voted Farage as MP thinking he'd make their lives better, pushing more people into poverty does not change people lives for the better.
Ellen Clifford was right about Reform and ultimately it's up to the individual who they support but Reform do not care about disabled people and leaving the ECHR would leave disabled people more so at risk of more cuts, more marginalising ect.
Richard Tice's (Deputy leader of Reform) girlfriend Isabel Oakshott who is often on Talk TV described young people signed off on incapacity benefits as "parasites".

what I read on DPAC said 40 MPs written a letter to parliament against cuts , a further 80 have written a separate letter saying they want it stopped until a full impact assessment is released . Someone posted a screenshot from Ben claimant YouTube ( he’s channel has Ellen Clifford on there ) , he reckons after analysing what MPs have been saying and what has been said to him it’s only Labour and reform voting for cuts . I can’t send the link to show you . And I don’t know how true it is so can’t verify it

Hi everyone,
If anyone on here has DPAC on Facebook could they look at a post from this morning from their admin regarding the times article. I think the post is Richard burgess. In the comments someone posted a screenshot of Ben claimant YouTube ( he’s channel posts videos from Ellen Clifford). He reckons after what he’s heard in the press plus from people he’s spoken to the Tory’s are voting against and it’s just reform 5 for cuts plus Labour . I don’t know if it’s true and I can’t clarify.

I have completed and it’s an absolute fast not only is it written in a way that is misleading it’s also written in a tone of the questions implied the reforms are a given. I’ve also contacted my MP and have had a response.
Alarmingly a large portion of the consultation focused on Access to Work which I’m not sure the disabled community are fully aware of the scale and implication of proposed changes which counter the government narrative of unlocking employment for disabled people.
The following proposals for Access to Work actually could render me redundant and unemployable in the future.
Here are some of the changes they are trying to slip in as cited by a LinkedIn article
AtW grants will be reduced from three years to just one – although in practice most grants are now already restricted to one year – forcing disabled people to re-apply annually for support.Ministers will also introduce a new maximum of 35 hours-a-week funding for support workers.
This may pose particular problems for Deaf recipients of AtW funding who need an interpreter with them throughout a regular 40-hour week.
But the measure most likely to alarm AtW recipients and those in the disability sector is that from later this year – DNS has been told – DWP will stop funding any support workers other than interpreters and job coaches.
This would mean that disabled people with significant physical impairments would no longer be able to secure funding from AtW to pay for support workers to help them with physical tasks such as operating office equipment or completing paperwork.
support packages are being cut by between 40 and 60 per cent when they are up for renewal.
“They are systematically cutting people’s grants.”
The ultimate outcome” of the cuts would be a higher benefits bill and greater costs for the NHS. Keir Starmer wants to get people working; this is doing the opposite to that.”
I really hope these are implemented in anyway to PIP UC or ATW

if it’s true , please god it is , in theory it would go through but that’s just the first stage . It would show how much opposition there is to it . If it starts to look that unpopular more MPs will surely worry about voting for cuts. 🤞🙏

I seen 326 for and 236 or something like that against so if that stays it will still go through

yes but it would show he doesn’t have the backing he thought he had . And I think it has to go to the House of Lords. The more voting against means more could change their mind , a small margin will clearly show who’s voting it through and they’ll be finished next election. As yet I don’t even know how true it is but Ben claimant must be reputable as he has Ellen Clifford videos on his channel and it’s posted on DPAC

OOK Thankyou for explaining

Thank you that, I just saw that ed mill band is among those not yet signed the letter. I’m surprised as I thought I heard he’s against the cuts . I wonder what the truth is regarding the Tory’s voting against. Apparently it was after Ben claimant had spoken to MPs yesterday
