I decided to edit the Wikipedia pages of the aforementioned Steven Race MP, Labour, and Luke Charters MP, Labour, and include the fact that they both sit on the all parliamentary group, for ME (Myaglic Encephalomyelitis) yet support Labours benefit cuts which will harm many people from the ME community.
I feel this deceitful behaviour is in the public interest (and may be an indication of character or lack thereof) and should be reported on a wider front.

If an MP is part of an All Party Parliamentary Group for ME, a condition that severely impacts quality of life, it seems completely contradictory to then support policies, like benefit cuts, that disproportionately harm people living with ME. Supporting a cause publicly while undermining it through policy votes is not just disappointing, it’s misleading. This kind of behaviour absolutely deserves to be made public. Thank you for sharing this.

T. Blair is the originator and orchestrator of the proposed cuts in sickness and disability benefits. Starmer is just a clown doing what the head of the minuscule group that owns the Labour Party tells him. All Starmer wants is to be validated by this group and doesn't care about the rest, including losing power at the next GE.

I might have understood it wrong but those descriptors regarding LCWRA seems like "you can keep it if we decide you're 'disabled enough' through these very specific requirements."

Not that Im aware of, but I did send them the info.
DWP cuts are being driven by Starmer adviser Morgan McSweeney
I was not really aware of who this McSweeney was until recently. Now I think he might be becoming public enemy number one. Anathema. Not good to be around. From a career point of view?
Along with Trevor Chinn he was one of the founders of this think tank Labour Together which seems set on viciously attacking disabled people and lying about it.
Richard Murphy gives his opinion on Starmers chief of staff in this short video at around the two minute mark:

If a disabled person tells the work coach he is in the support group of ESA on migration and is made to go to the job centre despite the disabled person asking for reasonable adaptations like a home visit and an injury happens to the disabled person because he/she was told to attend job centre what could the disabled person do, would he/she have a case to prosecute them for the injury?

I found this
If a disabled person is required to attend the jobcentre and experiences an accident, they may be able to sue the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) if the accident was a direct result of the DWP's actions or neglect of its duties. The DWP may be liable for negligence or discrimination if the accident was avoidable and caused by their failure to provide reasonable adjustments or accommodations.

The person just has to call the ESA number and ask the question to ESA and they will confirm that if youre in the support group you do not have to go into the JC, and then ESA should contact the work coach and tell the work coach as well.

You know this must be bad when former Con MP Graham Brady praises Kendall at the end of Newsnight there. She's in the wrong party I've always thought.

I have same . Last form I wrote I need prompting plus help cutting food . I got 2 points . Same situation in other questions . I can now see how I was deliberately steered towards 2 point questions and this was two years ago . The assessor increased my award so I was advised not to appeal the discrepancy but now it makes me wonder if this was always in the pipeline

I recently migrated over and didn’t have the required ID. They gave me a JC interview but I left a message in my journal and asked for a phone ID appointment and they were fine with that .

It's not mandatory for people in the Support Group to attend the job centre, in the first place. Neither do they need to justify anything or ask for any adaptation. They can do everything either online or over the phone. They do not have any claimant commitment, other than informing the DWP if their circumstances have changed. They're often asked to pop in the jobcentre to prove their identity, but they can do this online or over the phone.

The government is copying the experience of Ukraine and Russia. In Russia, carers for disabled relatives are paid from £10 to £200 a month, in Ukraine - £1 or nothing! However, in Ukraine, the carers gets a good bonus - the carer will not be taken to war!

WWhen you listen to the interview it doesn't sound positive she's saying she thinks mps will go for it and hope that helping people into work happens
