Get your MP to act against cuts

It took a while but after some encounters, Once I get the reply back on what Kendall/Timms said I will post it, Its so important, On Bluesky I am still asking the Unions apart from saying these reforms are wrong are they actually going to act, Because right now that is a brilliant reminder for MP's including Torsten the Unions play a vital role in funding.

I really believe Starmer/Reeves are not suited to this, If even a fraction of the rumoured MP's are very unhappy they can backtrack that's the entire point of green papers to alter and get the whitepaper as much support as possible. Glad GMB is still pushing this issue

@Vulcress , Yeah, it will certainly be interesting to hear Timms/Kendall’s response.

I truly hope the latter part of your post becomes reality. If these proposals become law, it would be the clearest indication yet that democracy in our nation is dead. I cannot stand by and watch disabled people suffer and die as a result of these irrational non-inclusive proposals .

Hi welcome to the community

Thanks, @Tori_Scope

I’ve forwarded the two emails I received from my MP after using the Scope campaign templates. Unfortunately, they don’t mention any support for Scope’s parliamentary visits, and the responses aren’t personalised beyond my name and town.

I’ll be replying directly to the reform email anyways to share my personal concerns .

Thanks!

my MP is for it ive already contacted them and already had a reply

there’s no other way disabled people could make their voices heard in parliament otherwise ,

…..Maybe bang our head against a brick wall? 🧱 💥

"GET YOUR MP TO ACT AGAINST THE CUTS"…. I keep reading the header to this thread.The average Labour/Con/LibDem MP are mostly all for the cuts.How can we force somebody to do something that they don't want to do,or make them do something that they want to do,but are afraid to do,for fear of losing their cosy position?

It's a very naive thing to suggest that we can tell our MP what we want them to do.

SMH.

My MP is as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

I'd never seen him before in my life until he rocked up at my door looking votes. I don't answer my door to anyone... Ever!

Saw him again when he wanted re-elected. At my door again. Between those two times my sister Emailed him asking for his help with regards to my pip ,not a peep back from him.

Even if I'd heard back to the negative at least it would have been an acknowledgement.

So the chances of him standing with us on the sickening proposals I'd say are zilch.

There IS another other way of getting disabled people's voices heard in parliament. 😊

Disabled People Against Cuts are really good with campaigning and taking effective action. They were the ones who organised the big protest by disabled people in London after the cuts were announced and it was through them that the last government had their Green Paper proposals declared unlawful. 👌

There is a new invitation on their website asking disabled people to contact the All Party Parliamentary Group about the cuts.

Here's the link with the details

https://dpac.uk.net/2025/04/contact-an-all-party-parliamentary-group-about-the-cuts/

You have to have certain health conditions to be able to do so on this occasion (the previous time I wrote to the All Party Group recently, you just needed to be disabled) but there is a wide range listed, mine was on there and I've no doubt you will find yours.

To become an unwaged member only costs £2.00 a year and you can sign up for their newsletter. 👍

@noonebelieves

Your very welcome. 😊 I'm just glad I can help.

I believe that this is what it's all about, helping each other cope with this catastrophic blow we've all had. 😣 I don't just look at every way that I can challenge the system but to pass the message on to others too. This way we can make a united front to, firstly to keep each others spirits up and from that point form a collective, with greater knowledge and determination to fight for our right as human beings to be treated with respect and to do our best to ensure that we do not get misrepresented and disregarded to end up in poverty and despair through absolutely no fault if our own. We deserve our proper place in society, like everyone else, with equal status and quality of life.

Well, that's my sermon for today anyway! 😉 Seriously, I do believe we can achieve so much more together. 👌As you say "Strength in Disabilities" 😊
