Not a Budget - a Statement that will put some exact numbers ( in other words dodgy statistics ) onto what was announced by Liz Kendal last week. More of the same nonsense.
The broadest shoulders to carry the heaviest burden my a***

Hope @apple85 is ok he was good with resistance posts. Reeve is started to be targeted by more people in the media, people are now pushing for the fiscal rules to be changed including economists, but the problem is Reeves has some strong anti social security ideology and has become obsessed with this fiscal rule she has set, she was calling for what she is doing now 12 years ago, and same with Kendall. A lot of disabled people elsewhere think this will get watered down without any fight, or that it isnt that bad. I think if this does get reversed somehow, Reeve will quit.

Someone did a job search live on a video on the gov.uk site following criteria.
Part time or full time.
Fully remote working.
Disabled friendly.
There was 8 jobs in the entire country, all skilled.5 -

I'm surprised that my MP isn't on the list.
I honestly he would be all for this.

The Poll Tax hit every adult in the country. Tory MPs couldn't sell it to the electorate. The Cabinet were concerned. Even so, Thatcher was in power for three more years. It took another issue to bring her down without the rest of the Government. Whilst I don't think Reeves, Starmer, and Kendall have thought through the economic impact of the cuts, backbenchers seem untroubled and the general public couldn't give a damn.

Attacking triple lock would be a Poll Tax moment! It would be WFA on steroids.
I'm fearful on benefit changes for people outside working-age. Will they make DLA and AA tougher to claim? I also wonder whether prescription charges, etc will be payable by all irrespective of age except for those on UC.

The media has asked some very good questions, seen Kendall being asked if she thinks people under 22 cant become ill. Of course she did her usual but at least the question got asked.

Yeah the poll tax had riots, this is nowhere near the same pressure sadly.

I can no longer sleep at night due to the anxiety this is causing me. It really does feel like hatred and discrimination. Easy targets always get hit.

(Psalm 37:14): The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

John McDonnell bless him, he cares deeply and will fight for us. A proper MP

There is no doubt that austerity politics as it have wounded the poor and vulnerable since 2010 is outside the Jewish and Christian tradition.

Thankyou for this information I'm due for a pip review January 2027 so I'm hoping I still pass the review as I get Two parts the Standard daily living part and the enhanced mobility part aswell ....

Well - the national living minimum wage is now £12.21 per hour
So unless the government wants to go down the route of classing disabled as not entitled to that much - that works out at £488 per week !
