    We went into our doctors the other week for the wife to get a prescription for her vertigo and they said it's a four week wait.Gone are the days of where you could sit and wait. It's diabolic with the NHS now. I'm diabetic and have to use the NHS chiropody. It used to be straight in every two months, now it can run onto three months.

    MPs are meant to work for their constituents yet when they stand up for constituents they get the whip removed 😡 I wish they’d vote no confidence and remove him

    He has to go. Second worse PM (Liz Truss, top 1) I’ve since in my life.

    Liebour MPs better act quickly.

    Scottish Labour are in a bit of a bind. Being loyal to the party at Westminster, whilst distancing themselves from unpopular decisions here in Scotland.

    People here in Scotland gave them a chance. They've messed it up big style. I'm basing that on conversations with family, friends, and acquaintances.

    My mission is to ensure my local constituency is fully aware our MP voted for these changes, and ensure he is a one-term wonder.

    It's all I can do in the meantime.

    You were lucky to have been able to speak to them. At my GP surgery, we're not even allowed to pop in. We can only contact them by filling in an e-consultation form and if we're given an appointment, it's on the phone.

    I don't see - how legally - the PM is able to deselect MP's - surely they've been voted in by their constituents - so, surely - it is up to these constituents whether they get the boot ?

    Apparently he removed the clause that mps work for the people it's know they work for the party carry on he is breaking every rule human rights discrimination it's out there in public I hope they get pulled up by many charities claimants in court because the money bill doesn't stopped judicial cases

    I'm on ir esa , I was on CB esa for a year because I used to be a carer and on carers allowance. After that I was moved on iresa. I then was working 10 hours a week and on permitted work for 5 years, also get Pip. Had to give my job up in 2023 , due to ill health getting worse. So how does CB esa work ? Do you get it if you work full time. Would I be entitled to it when I move to UC , as I worked for 5 years
