    You've just taken the words out of my mouth! Yep, she mentioned "the working people of this country" in that awful grating voice she has.

    Yes, they seem to have money to throw around all over the place at the moment; yet they are still planning to take it from the vulnerable in society. In my opinion, what they are proposing for the chronically ill and disabled has nothing to do with spending cuts, it is more of a cull. 😡

    Disability cuts + assisted dying bill + scrapping vagrancy laws . Is this their way of giving us support ?

    Kendall submits a mealy-mouthed 4-page letter, but her basic reply (and attitude) to the Select Committee can be summed up by 14 words that come right at the end: "We will not avoid or delay the decisive action
    needed to transform the system..."

    In other words, "**** you!"

    Just emailed my mp, angela & john again this time saying that disabled people are feeling that

    1. Repealing vagrancy law is to prepare for when we lose pip & our homes
    2. That rushing assisted dying is to prepare when we lose hope
    3. Rushing disability cuts is out of malice not help

    Wonder if ill get a response?

    I have proof in my pip forms that my descriptor should have been a 4 but given a two even though they’re supposed to award the highest point not lower. That’s why so many don’t get a 4.

    Im still sticking to what I have said from day one , these proposals were always going through .... But I'm still confident they will get watered down because they are simply not fit for purpose , they will cause complete chaos every step of the way .... And they will have to make amendments....

    My plan is .... ( Cbesa and lcwra but no pip ) .... Also some dates for everyone

    Be aware of a UC review at anytime , ( hopefully they never had my two undeclared accounts that have been closed for years on Thier system and only have the two my benefits go into , hopefully when that comes it will all go smoothly )

    Be aware that bank checks and surveillance comes in to affect on 2026 .… ( Hopefully the two undeclared accounts I had that have been closed for over 5 years won't flag up or get uncovered and the checks will only be on active accounts that benefits go into and any accounts linked too hopefully none linked as all closed )

    Be aware that April 2026 lcwra will be frozen

    Be aware that in april 2026 WCA reassessments are going to start up properly again

    Concentrate on my lcwra reassessment when it comes , that should come before the wca is abolished in 2028 , so as long as I pass it will take me up to or past when the new pip criteria comes in

    Then my next reassessment should be under new pip criteria and I'll deal with it when the transition happens

    All this worrying everyday just makes it worse , they are stealing your life , don't let them ....

    Instead of worrying about what could , plan for what they say is coming so you are clear on what to do , and if it doesn't it will be great and if it does you will be ready

    She states they haven’t opened up the consultation fully because it will be debated on and amendments raised in parliament. If they have a large rebellion will they then have to make concessions at least ?

    These reforms are hated by a 150 labour MPs , if they can't stop them going through they will definitely say there needs to be amendments

  • LouCie61

    Exactly. They are not looking to give support in any way. I stick by what I said in that I believe this is a cull.

    On 10 June the "Government" (allegedly) committed £14b to build Sizewell C; with the usual blah that it will provide a huge number of jobs for the people who want to work…

    Perhaps we'll all be shipped off to work there - after all, they like their high viz jackets and hard hats don't they.

    Please don't think I am making light of this in any way - this is simply how I see what they are doing.

    Im of the opinion that they can , I was watching something on political Joe , and they were saying even a 150 MPs wouldn't be enough to stop this going through but the women said that there would definitely not go through as it is , her words were " that's it's a given that there will be amendments " remember there's a long way to go yet .... Basically that statement in Kendall letter says there will be no delay on bringing these proposals to the house , as they want to present it to parliament by the 30th of June , as they need to pass It by a certain time so that the changes are in place for Nov 2026 , that doesn't mean to say there will be no admendments , a 150 labour MPs are not happy with them , so there is no way that they will go through exactly as they are , not to mention the house of lords will debate them as well ....

    Welfare reforms while they do include such things as public expenditure are classed as public bills , I do not see the government doing this , there is so much being written at the moment it's very hard to keep up , if you looked at all the things that have been written in the last month they pretty much contradict each other every few days , there will be alot of debate once these are presented to parliament and I'm so confident there will be tweaks , where exactly did you read of this money bill

    What about the Tory’s who I’ve read are voting against ?

  • Danny123
    Danny123 Community Member Posts: 229 Empowering

    Apparently there isn't a majority of MPs big enough to stop these going through , the women I watch on political Joe is very informed and is now appearing on GMB and question time , she was saying that whoever votes against its still not enough to stop them but she said one thing is for certain they will not go through as they are , she said tweaks were a certainty .... So it really is a case of waiting could you imagine the chaos these reforms would cause if they became law as they are , if a 150 of your own MPs are rebelling , getting them through is one thing but getting them through like they are after long and painful debates is another

    Definitely for the best ☺️ I've seen nothing of anyone passing anything as a money bill , even if you Google it not one article comes up .... Don't let one post ruin your whole day .... I have served OCD and dark intrusive thoughts , I know all to well what it's like
