With the damage he's done to us and to so many others in this country with both left and right wing voters hating him he will not only have to go elsewhere, I think that he will have to permanently leave the country because I don't think that he will be safe if he stays here as he is so throughly detested.
He's already had his former home, his private home and a vehicle connected to him set on fire recently, in London.
I shouldn't think that he's feeling all that comfortable, to be honest!
You're quite right about him not giving a damn about all the people whose lives he's ruined or going to ruin.
That's going to be the main problem for him. No one is going to thank him for making their lives so difficult!!

Well he seems to be settling himself up in the EU so maybe they’ll want him but he’s so useless I doubt it .
As for the fires they’re a bit suspicious and maybe more in the personal side as is talked about away from the msm . Will we ever know the truth probably not .2 -
Politicians and political parties all over the world have been clowns for the behind-the-scenes owners of circuses. Sometimes clowns put their former employers in jail (Zelensky-Kolomoisky), but clowns themselves are nothing. And if a new party appears (Farage, for example), it means that someone with real power needs it. It is very expensive to maintain a political party.
And if you noticed, there is no room for ordinary people in this equation.

How much money is rich? 6000/16000?
Now this is not money for which you can buy something valuable. This is money not to die of hunger for several months.
The shameful policy of mixing the disabled with the unemployed, refugees and the like bears its bitter fruits.
I believe that any disabled person should be provided with support to ensure a safe existence, regardless of their "wealth".0 -
If Farage were to come out in support of leaving benefits cuts alone Starmer would have no choice but the scrap the cuts . Apparently half of red wall are against cuts so labour will lose the red wall if he continues surely

"New Labour" behind the curtain, like odious extreme right wingers Labour Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeny and former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Funny, we never voted for their opinion on how the government is run! 🤔

Exactly my thoughts, he's currying favour with the EU so he can land a job with them once his tenure is over as PM … hence the change to fishing grounds and free movement for under 30's within the EU

@secretsquirrel1 mentioned the celebrity campaign. This post has some more details if anyone fancies a look. It has a link to the website. Really great work they're doing 🤗:

I agree wholeheartedly. Lets say they means test PIP, if they set the cut off at the same point as pension credit that's mine gone !! I live alone, I don't have private pensions etc but was just £3 odd over getting PC, so no WFA for me and this would have been my first year receiving it, I need my PIP now more than ever. I really do not like the argument that ''pensioners are living a life of luxury'' and therefore they don't need PIP. Some posts really get my back up on here at times, I usually refrain from saying anything about them but when folk want to take from one section of disabled folk to make sure another section is funded, well honestly its pretty saddening and disappointing.

Thank you so much @charlie72 for more of your really encouraging research. 👏
It makes you realise how successful the pushing back of the tide has been for disabled people, over the years and most of all, it emphasises the possibilities we have for a much less damaging implementation of these proposals. I think though that we have to be realistic and realise that on the other hand that the government leadership are very unlikely to do a complete U Turn.
I wish too that there were more Labour MPs that would vote against the cuts, the majority of the numbers we have heard about on the media are abstaining rather than voting. 😞 Votes against would help us enormously.
Because the government have managed to take so much away from us and threaten us with so much more in the way of cuts (the Tories as well as Labour) it only serves to make us look on the pessimistic side though.
Perhaps we can allow ourselves be quite a bit more optimistic after all. 😃

Well he doesn’t seem to have any empathy for any of us . Obviously just a careerist and psychopath. Any mp voting for cuts out of fear or loyalty will just be stabbed in the back and left behind.

I read an article this morning that said reeves will have to go and the prime person to take over is Pat McFadden. I’m sure I’ve heard he’s for cuts but can’t fully remember.

Good morning, how do I email Nigel Farage, do you have the contact details for him, I want to email him too about his stance on these 'reforms'? Thanks😊

I find that whole debate very troubling luvpink. I cant imagine why a disabled person would even suggest that idea on here. Why are we pitting ourselves against each other ? There may only be a few of ''us'' pension age people on here but it would seem the masses have forgotten we have by no means been spared from these changes. Think I just need to have a little break from here, I really thought we were all fighting as one for our rights, seems we are not.

What really gets to me about these proposed changes is the government did not consider the impact on mental health and the lack of clarity. I do feel bad that when I been worried and down I posted at these low times. I do apologise if I added to others worries . I am sorry for this
