it’s worth looking on their website and joining as they send updates by email. This government is truly evil. Jeremy Corbyn gave a good interview on sky news. He said labour MPs have started talking to him suddenly and they’re upset at what’s going on . Fingers crossed they’re brave enough to stand up for us

I've not seen Jeremy Corbyn or Diane Abbott in the House today.

I think it’s a bit early to come to that conclusion.
I’d give it another 6 months. See how things are then to have an idea if changes are to happen/watered down etc

Totally agree with you sadly. I don't think they'll ease it even when they see the results of it.

Great to see all the people on the streets making a stand against it today across the country.

Their figures don’t make sense to me, if I lose my daily needs pip I get disqualified from all the other health benefits so that will be nearly £10,000

There will be lots of knock on effects. If someone loses PIP, their Carer will lose CA, and be required to look for work, of course this will be on top of still caring for the disabled person because removal of PIP won't change the person's needs.
People will lose Housing Benefit, discretionary payments, exemption from Bedroom Tax, Council Tax payments will rise.
These changes will affect whole families (Certainly in my family) and so many will be pushed into poverty as a result.8 -
Words fail me . Shame on labour . So many lives will be lost due to these ill thought out decisions .
It is a very very worrying time

Totally agree Danny, this afternoon has reinforced my belief that there is NOTHING that can be done because only a handful of MP'S are against these proposals !!!!
Today has shown us the lack of support AGAIN from members of parliament.
Labour will have no problem 'pushing through' all of these cuts and changes, simply because there aren't enough MP'S that are against it all.
A mere handful of MP'S challenged reeves on these proposals, just nowhere near enough.
Many of us are facing destitution but MP'S are getting another pay rise.
I'm done, I'm not emailing anymore because my MP can't even be bothered to acknowledge my email.
If you don't work...you don't matter. That's it in a nutshell.
They want more suffering and deaths of the sick and disabled because it will save more money.

it just feels so sad that there’s this narrative on all departments of government on scapegoating the young and their mental health for the lack of growth in this country.
And the worse thing is that people buy into it.
Horrendous stuff

Sophy Ridge, Sky News has just twitted this.
'50,000 children will be pushed into poverty as a result of the changes to welfare - and a total of 250,000 peopleThat's according to the Gvt's own impact assessment.'
Several Labour MPs already expressing their disquiet.

I think those figures are manipulated. The number would be much higher.
The loss of income figure was manipulated excessively
