    Yet, Universal Credit rate going up 1.7%, an extra £6.63 PER MONTH. ILA frozen. How on earth does that even pay for any utility, food increases? Why aren't we getting a 2 .8% increase like them?, not to mention all the perks they get and back handers they take. It's definitely them vs us.

    First off, very glad to see this discussion become a new tread with information in the orginal thread. I think a separate forum would be better, because there are so many posts in the previous threads that are triggering vents and not practical advice. It'll be the same here. Not very accessible, ironically enough.

    Plus, many people are still posting seperate topics in other subforums.

    This isn’t what you’re meaning, but this website is very good. You can search for any MP and it tells you how they’ve voted on things in the past and I think what speeches they’ve made.

    Obviously it doesn’t have any info on which MPs support these cuts, but it will show how they’ve voted on welfare matters in the past

    Hard agree. It's yet more evidence that Labour was captured by the same neoliberal capitalists that control the Tories.

    The silver lining of these cuts is that more people are accepting this reality. The amount of people shocked that a Labour government are pushing these cuts - when evidence about how much those who control Labour hate for disabled people has been online for years - confirms how few people paid attention.

    So in other words, most of these MP won't rebel. Perhaps they will if somebody leaks their names.

    I also do wonder where it all will end. I'm waiting for the full details and implications of these changes, which will likely become clearer after the Spring Statement and the release of the impact statement on Wednesday. This will outline the number of individuals affected by these decisions, including those who may be driven into poverty as a result. It's concerning to think about the potential consequences for our disabled and vulnerable citizens.

    Your dream is right, you have a gift . I've dreamed the same . The old system needs to collapse , so a new one can be reset .

    Thanks for sharing, @JasonRAAbsolutely, he makes a passionate case—what a gem of a man! 👏👏 However, I genuinely don’t understand why he felt he might be asked to step down as Chair of Scope. I thought this was exactly what Scope stands for 🤔
