Many thanks for sharing that.

Good heavens, that man is not fit for purpose 🙄😬. He and Richard Tice I saw yesterday, listened to them spouting nonsense. Some quite vile opinions out their. Good to see Grahame Morris's condemnation of the cuts.

Oh my. I hadn't seen that. I don't know if I'm looking at that statement wrong but it sounds like they view those with disabilities as children. I mean when you take a kid's pocket money, more often than not, they throw a tantrum even if it's as a consequence of their actions. That statement just tells me that he's seeing us as kids throwing tantrums because we lost what is a little bit of money to them, when it's the difference between surviving and not for us. Not only that but it sounds like he's implying that it's the consequences of our actions. Am I alone in feeling that way? Please tell me if I'm just overthinking that all but the way that the Government has acted recently, it wouldn't be the most shocking thing.

He has apologised but that's not good enough. Pip is our life line. Starmer meanwhile in Paris meeting macron ,check out the nauseating greeting they give each other

Just a random question, are people allowed to actually email members of the Cabinet when not in their constituency? Or would we just have to email our MPs and hope that they pass it on?

They will continue to pay it as it is until your next review, so you’d still get the rate you’re on until at least 2029 (and obviously longer if you’re reawarded)

Could this actually bring the government down ?
I think that yes it could - however, who would replace it ?
A LIB/TORY coalition would appear to be the best bet at the moment but would depend on votes.

There's nothing to stop anyone from emailing any MP's
but to get an answer about constitutional stuff - you need to be in their constituency

I have esa, not the contribution based one and pip that I won at appeal with 10 pts for daily living, going to unfamiliar places and a few 2`s. I'm unsure if I'm lcwra. I just want to know what means for me as I find it very confusing.

Reeves wants to take away your PIP - Unless you have at least a 4 in any category - she doesn't believe that you are entitled to any PIP

So if someone wanted to email say the Education Secretary regarding policies without being in their constituency, they could? As long as it's not about their actual area. An example would be in my area, people have been going around throwing red paint over people's houses (don't know why, stupidity maybe) then that'd be to the local MP because it's about the area. But if someone were to email about policies that the Education Secretary set out then they could directly email that MP?

I feel I've done all that I can. This is all going to be played out over the next number of months in the MSM/Social Media/Newspapers. I've emailed MP's, responded to the Green Paper, signed petitions. What more can we do? I'm going to try and take a step back from it all to protect my MH.

I feel the same, somewhat feel at a loss at what more I could do, if anything

So will labour be out by next November? 🤔

But they are getting away with it. Nobody can stop them.

If you google their name - you may be able to find another email address to contact them on
Reeves for example is on CEU.Enquiries@hmtreasury.gov.uk as she works for the treasury
If you try their normal email address (name.mp@parliament.uk) - they may well ignore you

Biggest issue is the main opposition, Conservatives and Reform's only complaints is that the cuts don't go further, they want to cut 12bn from welfare. Jeremy Hunt who would have been chancellor had the Conservatives won is saying they should have gone further.
It's worrying times, as there's no realistic option for a party that will gain power that will actually protect the sick and disabled. The best hope is still that Starmer gets booted out, and someone from the left wing of the party gets power, and it doesn't even have to be from the Corbyn wing, as eg. Andy Burnham has voiced against these cuts and wouldn't be seen as the left of the party. Problem is the people in power atm are from the right of the party.

They have another four years to torture us , unless there is a snap election .

About the 4 years, is it just me or are they in power for 5 years (including last year)? I thought GEs were every 4 years unless I'm just misunderstanding everything
