There is no chance of it being reversed! None whatsoever.

I was thinking this way, but it has become completely out of hand, reform are changing their policies every 5 minutes, and they make sure its in the news, with their constant press conferences. On average there seems to now be a benefit news story every week now, which is madness as the other parties arent a lot better.
It has become the biggest talking point of the country probably even more so than immigration now.
All the social media advocates have ended up drawing too much attention to it, they probably need to stop everything they doing at this point, too many youtubers tiktokers etc. That lady who was ex DWP staff, I seen a few of her videos, she is just pumping out videos for the sake of it at this point, just triggering fear.
You also have people either pretending or boasting about their own laziness on UC, to boost their social media channel, but people buy in to it and it fuels the resentment.
One social media advocate admitted she stopped helping people as she decided it was all out of hand, and she felt some asking for help were not legit. Admitted it was a mistake raising awareness on the internet.
So now I limit my focus to actual announced government policy changes like the white paper, and try to ignore everything else. Even the purpl website has started a blog on reporting on disability news, which I dont like, as its just more negativity.
Benefits and work at least just concentrates on what changes at the DWP level, rather than all speculation, Reform fear etc.0 -
What gets me though, is they're trying to force everyone to get a job, yet for a LOT of disabled people, it'd be mentally and/or physically impossible for them to work, and that right there's what the right don't get.

Ah, but they'll go along the lines of not what you can't do, but what you can do.

True, but in extreme cases, a day's work would literally kill some disabled people.

Indeed, I mean come on, I was 50 last month, so in the unlikely event I get a job, I'd be able to in theory work for 10 years before they Pension me off for a younger, cheaper worker who can work stupid hours for almost no money! Madness innit?

l emailed REFORM to ask whether their policies mentioned means testing PIP and received a standard response !
"Thank you for writing to Reform's policy team. Your submission has been received. You may not receive an immediate reply but your idea will be reviewed when we come to consider the relevant area of policy (which may not be for some time). "
They have NO policies !

Of course Reform will have some policies, even if they are deeply unpleasant to most of us.
