It’s like being on a rollercoaster Catherine. I think relax weekend and watch some horror movies. It’s not good for us to be constantly worrying

I think that it won't be a matter of if it going through. I believe will a matter of what proposals get watered down as ministers will not back down altogether.
Supportive MPs are calling for the proposals to have a proper consultation done on all of them, not just what suits ministers to give us, which is only about half of it and, as you no doubt know, not the proposals that we are interested in.
Plus they would like more time to see the full picture of the impact these proposals will have on us. This mainly involves the OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) who's assessment won't be published until October.
Whatever it is, we are in for the long haul I'm afraid. 😞There is no way the government are going to back down without a fight. They don't want to look weak. Bureaucratic wheels turn very slowly too. We must continue our resistance however hard it is and however long it takes. 😊
✊The truth is the greatest enemy of the state.✊

Can’t have one without the other I’d say 😀. Maybe we should open a new thread for horror film chats . With Starmer as Dracula , sucking the life out of the UK 🇬🇧 😀

I’m surprised Ed Miliband isn’t. I thought I heard he’s against the cuts.

Medically I'm sure she would be diagnosed as a malignant narcissist. Google it if you're interested! 🤔

I feel doubtful about the figures from Ben Claiment myself. I can't believe that not one Conservative MP supports these cuts. 🤔

If it’s anything like Starmer the narcissist psychopath I get the message 😂. Honestly if they were so rich I reckon the front bench would all be on pip themselves.

I watched the entirety of the video from parliament and the conservative minister stated the green paper proposals were rushed and cruel and they would be voting against. I don’t for one minute think the conservatives are indeed on our side but they sense a chance to hurt Starmer. If those figures of voting intentions are correct then it would only take another 30 or so Labour MPs to do the right thing. That then would more than likely bring the government down and a new leader. Whether they will I don’t know but it’s encouraging

Let me show you a trick to read articles that are paywalled!
Click the link below, copy the URL of the article you want to read and paste it in the address bar/URL bar of this link, and voila!

Could you now find the graph from the Times!
This is the only one from the Times that I found in this regard and it doesn't contain any graph, neither does it say how many Tories will vote against the evil proposal of Keir Starmer and his clowns!
