If you mean by MSM Mainstream Media, then, I agree with you it's really strange that non of the large and influential news organisations that often shape public discourse and reflect dominant viewpoints has raised this issue!

Just an opinion, I could be wrong but I think that we have heard nothing more about those harsher proposals because it may be its all they are, a threat.
One to demoralise us even futher, hoping that we will just give up, roll over and accept all these proposals they want to destroy us with.
Considering how well the current round of cuts is going with so many others in the Labour government, ourselves, our DPOs and many of the general public I would say (sarcastically) good luck with that one!! 😁

First. The term "dimming the sun" is misleading, as no one can dim the sun, apart from its creator. This is just a controversial geoengineering proposal aimed at reducing global temperatures to cool the planet by artificially reflecting a small percentage of sunlight back into space.
Second. "Dimming the sun" is not a solution to the root cause of global warming, as it does not address the underlying problem of excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leave alone fixing the root problem.
Third. It could lead to potential unintended consequences in specific regions, including rain falls, as there's not a global thermostat that suits everyone.
Fourth. It raises ethical issues about who decides on such interventions and also shoulders the consequences, as the sun doesn't belong to a particular country or region.
Fifth. There's not a single scientific certainty associated with this proposal to date, and without scientific certainty and backup it's dead on arrival.
Finally. be assured, there's nothing to worry about this, which is not much different from a fantasy, as it has not much basis in reality, and thus is extremely far from realisation. There's no harm in stocking discounted tinned food, such as fish, just to take advantage of the temporary discount. Other than this, there's no reason for stocking any food due to this fantasy. Taking a daily vitamin D supplement is recommended in the UK, particularly during the autumn and winter months (October to March). This is because sunlight, the primary source of vitamin D, is insufficient in the UK during these months to produce adequate levels of the vitamin. I take it every day, unless I forget it.
Hope this will calm you down.

The Disability News Service (DNS) is part of Disabled People Against Cuts. (DPAC) I've been a member for quite a long time now and I assure you that as a Disabled People's Organisation (DPO) they are 100% reputable and completely on our side. ✊

Covering it up ?

I'm so sorry to hear that you are in this situation. It is so wrong and completely unacceptable. As soon as next year too! I sincerely hope that something drastic will happen to water down these proposals or see the back of them altogether before they start taking innocent people with it. 😡
As we've discussed before, we both have ME/CFS. I can really relate to what you have to go through and how difficult it will be to cope with that situation on top of your disabilities. 😞
I will be state pension age by the time of my next review and have two four point descriptors in daily living but don't entirely feel off the hook as the DWP could decide to review me sooner at working age and make sure they don't give me the 4 pointers back.
I'm very grateful that I'm safer than most but I don't think that you can be completely safe at working age unfortunately. 😒

Or not openly coming out about not voting for it as a way to leave Starmer and his cronies thinking everything is going ok then BANG when it comes to voting on it and in that way leaving Labour looking incompetent (which they already are)

What makes it harder to get a 4 points , apart from the assessor who down graded me , is the fact that there are no questions asking about pain or fatigue.
What makes things worse is I look fine when I do manage to go out but suffer for it afterwards but no one sees the PEM

It’s certainly being kept quiet and I pray it’s true .

Yup.
We have to keep fighting.
It's not over yet, it seems the tide is turning.
Let's hope so.

They're 'Brickin it' after the 'thrashing' from reform in the local elections.
Don't get me wrong, i'm no fan of reform, but this has really helped us in a way, because the Labour MP's now know that if they keep going the way they have been, their 'gravy train' is about to 'crash', no more job, no more daily allowance after next election....
And the way things are atm in this country ,all the anger over benefits, winter fuel, 2 child cap , free clothes, free concert tickets for the weasels....etc etc......…
An election may be sooner than they'd like, because this country is 'hanging by a thread.

Reform are doing us a massive favour even if they don’t like the disabled themselves. I think this is a reason the Tory’s are apparently voting against if true . Millions of disabled votes going to waste , we have to vote for someone and I think Tory’s hope it’s them
