Yes she’s horrible. Really playing into our fears. One video she made claim that I can’t remember now but it was fake news . She used the fact she’s ex dwp to support these claims insisting she knows what she’s talking about. When people went to the comments to say she’s wrong she called them trolls and blocked them . Nasty woman .

That was one incident but they was another . I think to do with lcwra and dwp starting assessments on new rules or something. Other times she’s said things such as dwp already stopping people’s pip without warning . Then you work it out that the person in question didn’t send their review form back or contact dwp . .

I'm sorry. I wasn't accusing you personally of scaremongering. I think the idea of the Bill being a Money Bill is so unlikely that media that peddle it are scaremongering.

Labour rebels have said they will refuse to support Keir Starmer’s plans to slash disability benefits – despite claims they could face deselection if they vote against the reforms.
The Independent has been told that MPs – including ministers – considering rebelling against the government’s welfare reforms on Tuesday next week have been threatened with losing the whip and even, according to two sources, deselection. The issue is set to come to a head in a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday evening.
The government plans to make £5bn a year in savings on welfare mostly by reducing personal independence payments (PIPs) for those with disabilities by limiting access to them for all apart from the most The issue is set to come to a head in a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday evening.
The government plans to make £5bn a year in savings on welfare mostly by reducing personal independence payments (PIPs) for those with disabilities by limiting access to them for all apart from the most disabled .
Around 80 Labour MPs, including 12 ministers, are understood to be considering rebelling against the legislation needed to cut the welfare bill by £5bn a year.
According to sources, ministers and other MPs have been warned they could face deselection if they resign and vote against the government. Downing Street denied this, with a source saying: “This isn’t how we do business.”
But a number of others have been warned that they could face the same consequences of former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, Zara Sultana and others who lost the whip after rebelling over the two child benefit cap.
Last week deputy prime minister Angela Rayner refused to rule out punishments for those planned to rebel against the government.
Meanwhile, it is understood that MPs requesting permission to miss the vote are being denied because the government wants a show of loyalty on the second reading vote on 1 July.
In the PLP meeting on Monday evening just a week before the vote, work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall will try to persuade fellow Labour MPs that the government has no choice but to balance the books.
But former Jeremy Corbyn ally Richard Burgon has announced that he will be presenting a petition demanding wealth taxes instead of benefits cuts next week just 24 hours before the crucial vote.Posting on X (formerly Twitter), he said: “It’s now confirmed: the vote on disability cuts will be next week.
“So next Monday in Parliament, I’ll be presenting my petition for a Wealth Tax - not disability cuts.“Over 70,000 have already signed! Let's get as many as possible.”
The issue became a subject of tensions in the run-up to last month’s spending review when a leaked memo from Ms Rayner also proposed eight new wealth taxes on the richest individuals and big corporations as an alternative to cuts.

Some big news on Robert peston x
Important story by @romillyweeks . This widely backed reasoned amendment that she says will be tabled tonight has the potential to kill the government’s reforms to PIP snd the disability elements of Universal Credit. This would be a huge humiliation for Keir Starmer and Liz Kendall

I understand a reasoned amendment to the welfare reform bill is being tabled this evening with the backing of 13 labour select Ctte chairs wording of the amendment ‘That this House, whilst noting the need for the reform of the social security system, and agreeing with the Government’s principles for providing support to people into work and protecting people who cannot work, declines to give a Second Reading The Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment’ Bill because its provisions have not been subject to a formal consultation with disabled people, or co-produced with them, or their carers; because the Office for Budget Responsibility is not due to publish its analysis of the employment impact of these reforms until the autumn of 2025; because the majority of the additional employment support funding will not be in place until the end of the decade; because the Government’s own impact assessment estimates that 250,000 people will be pushed into poverty as a result of these provisions, including 50,000 children; because the Government has not published an assessment of the impact of these reforms on health or care needs; because the Government is still awaiting the findings of the Minister for Social Security and Disability’s review into the assessment for Personal Independence Payment and Sir Charlie Mayfield’s independent review into the role of employers and government in boosting the employment of disabled people and people with long-term health conditions’. (PLEASE HAPPEN)
