    I hope to god somebody's going to take legal action. What they're doing is so wrong

    Starmer is putting the changes to a vote which means it will become the law of the land, I guess the Lords could amend the changes but I'm not sure.

    Thing is this "4 point rule" surely would require a consultation? We know their Green Paper will get challenged.

    I emailed two of these MPs - linked to Parkinsons and Osteoporosis and got back "sorry can't help - your not in my area" so don't bother !!

    This is whats wriiten on Benefits & Work, I dont know where they got it from but there must be something in it for them to post it.

    There are growing reports that Labour aim to introduce a bill in May and, if it certified as a money bill, the Lords will not be able to amend or delay it for more than a month, meaning the PIP and UC cuts could be  on the statute book by the end of July, ready to be implemented next year.

    They will do anything they can get away with. We are worse than rubbish to them. People need to get out and protest and cause a problem. It is the only way they might listen.

    I remember this thing about a ‘money bill’ coming to light when they took away the extra money for LCW. The Lords stopped it initially but then the government said the Lords couldn’t do that as it was a money thing and the change went through

    Him and his lawyer mates will have covered every loophole to get this through.

    100%. Petitions, consultations and letters are useless. {Comment removed - uncivil language}

    Charities being spineless and relying on backroom lobbying (that hasn't worked for many years now) is one reason the British left is in the state that it is.

    did you email their MP accounts or their APPG accounts? if its the former, that's why they fobbed you off.

    if you feel comfortable naming the two MPs you contacted, that'd benefit everyone.

    I think they are waiting for the green paper consultation to finish, then hopefully they will come out opposing the government.

    If they can pass PIP as a money bill, what about the lcw/ra can they abolish this as easy?

    hayesj@parliament.uk and sonia.kumar.mp@parliament.uk

    I do not live in either constituency - so they will not deal with me

    Those email addresses are all that they have !

    I meant the green paper that's already out. It runs for 12 weeks, so they are probably waiting for the conclusion to that before they speak out
