    I'm sorry to hear how you've been @pinkrose. It just seems to be never ending. They just keep punching down on the most vulnerable in society. I'm near at breaking point. Like most of us are.😔

    Yogi, hang on in there my friend.

    I think after tomorrow we may have more people and organisations 'coming to our aid' and fighting our corner.

    BTW thankyou for your kind comment. Xx

    Hi Danny, I think it's only the pip that changes in 2026....and the lcwra in 2028.

    Please look after yourself. I'm always being told by my MH team to practice self-care. I'm not very good at it. I never thought a Labour government would've done this. x

    seeing as Rachel from accounts is determined to wreck the economy and come to us disabled to bail her out each time at what point will she be told that this cannot be legal . You surely can’t leave millions of ppl to starve . In court how will they justify this ? They can hardly say they were stopping fraud in the system. How can a million ppl be fraudulently claiming to be sick or disabled and the NHS not realise .

    Jeremy Corbyn blasts Labour over austerity measures. I wish he'd come back.

    it’s impossible to think they can get away with it and not lose in court or the echr. Both Stu and this other channel creator said they’ll be going against the equality act . Starmer really needs to sack her . I just watched Jeremy Corbyn on sky news and he said Labour MPs have told him they’re not happy. Apparently they’re now talking to him as they’re not happy with the government. The interviewer asked if Keir is a chameleon and he said there’s a few of them in parliament.

    Well said summerlove, these cruel, greedy, uncaring, immoral fools are not Labour.

    The Labour Party I was once proud to vote for and be a member of are now long gone, unfortunately.

    Just feeling at a loss with it all.....I'm hoping the '**** will ht the fan tomorrow' after Rachel thieves statement, and hoping we have more MP'S and organisations 'coming to our aid', and 'fighting our corner '.

    I've been very disappointed with the lack, of outrage/retaliation from MP'S and disability charities.

    The only ones who have really stood for us have been, John mcdonnell, Jeremy corbyn and Diane abbot and a couple of others.

    Thanks for this ROSS, will give it a watch. I just wish these 'upset MP'S' would 'speak up'.

    We've only had a handful of MP'S speak up, it's disgraceful.

    I dug this out. Angela Raynor helped get the WRAC removed for LCW claimants so be in no doubt she understands all of this in 2025.

    Angela Raynor - Commons Shadow Minister (Work and Pensions) Department for Work and Pensions 7 January 2016 - 27 June 2016 

    Angela Raynor - Commons Opposition Whip (Commons ) Whips Office (Commons) 18 September 2015 - 7 January 2016

    The Welfare Reform and Work Bill 2015-16 had its Third Reading in the House of Lords on 9 February, and the Commons is due to consider Lords amendments on 23 February. 

    The Government suffered a second defeat at Report on 27 January. An amendment tabled by the Crossbencher Lord Low of Dalston and others to retain the Employment and Support Allowance work-related activity component was agreed by 283 votes to 198.

    Same here summerlove, Labour through and through back to my great grandparents, and yes it was Blair who started the ruination.....but omg I can't believe how awful starmer and Co are.

    They've ENDED the Labour Party.

    Hardly anybody will vote for them in the future.

    They really are the 'new nasty party'.

    Hopefully the fight back will start tomorrow.

    You Take care of yourself summer, we all need to be kind to ourselves.

    I just can't believe what's happening.

    yes I thought it was interesting when he said that. It just shows you they’re not happy with Starmer . At the end of the day they’ve said they want £5 billion in cuts which is more than the Tory’s and the judge said it was so much of a cut that is was unlawful. It’s actually unbelievable that they just want to **** pip from a million ppl regardless if they’re disabled or not and attach lcwra to it . So ppl can no longer have a long term condition. I’m just hoping the courts find it all unlawful.

    Angela Rayner is on a tricky one here I think. She's referencing her own family while defending these cuts. I'm dissapointed as I'd hoped she'd be more horrified at the disastrous set of cruel cuts. Like her unions are.

    I don’t think they care about getting ppl to work. They could start with the healthy job seekers first . It’s not as though they’ve just tightened the criteria a bit , they’ve literally worked out how many ppl they need to get of pip to save the desired amount. They are truly evil.
