Iain Duncan Smith Government posts

Search UK Parliament to see any MP's Parliamentary career - Committee memberships, voting records, Opposition posts and Government posts - to get a flavour of their interests.
Timms and Abrahams have always known how IDS reformed (deformed) the LCW/LCWRA rules in 2011.
See also Raynor, Reeves, Kendall, Cooper, Reynolds..
Starmer has surrounded himself with ex-W&P Ministers and advisors perhaps unwittingly. Those Labour Ministers could not risk Corbyn and the then Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, getting into power and exposing their dirty deeds.

Oh come off it, it it wasn't for so called 'sickfluencers' which lets be honest benefitsandwork.com would fall under by the definition, half of us wouldn't have had successful claims, not because we aren't entitled but because the system is designed to break us and make us fail!
This is starting to turn into who folks here think are the deserving disabled and who aren't! I find it very hard to believe anyone could claim benefits without reams of medical evidence

Agreed, to many people talking like mental illness doesn't greatly impact your life, then you take into account medication side effects and it can be a good day if you function for three hours

worried, If I am right you mean the planned removal of LCW/LCWRA in their entirety?
Labour in Opposition supported the removal of LCW from disabled claimants in 2015 (not Starmer or Corbyn and his allies, obviously)
The media went quiet but DWP didn't stop there and 10 years later, Labour Ministers are pretending these are new plans to help support disabled claimants back into work. These plans are nothing to do with claimant needs or the economy; just a cover-up for IDS' scam through his 2011 amended ESA regulations!

I'm meeting with an MP at some point (Iain Duncan Smith) to ask about the Spring Statement. I know he's not Labour but he's my local MP so there's only so much he could do, maybe reassurance or support?
It's just been hitting me that I don't actually know what to ask/say to him regarding the Spring Statement. I know what points that I want to make but don't know how to make them.
Just wondering if anyone may have any ideas of how I could start the conversation with him or what I could ask of him.

I think the MSM are the biggest liars ,I don't like getting into politics, but personally I see Trump putting everything right , he's putting his own country first and that's what our leader should do . I think the world has been run by bad people for far too long and I have more faith in Trump than anyone , and usually what America do the world follows .
Just out of interest what inequality do you mean ?

Maybe your contact is recovering from agoraphobia. Alternatively, being out all day on his own might be his manifestation of agoraphobia and related anxiety disorders.

If people haven't noticed by now that ''MSM' lie through their teeth constantly then they must be asleep .

I like watching the news.
Why should people stop watching it?
Its up to individuals to decide what they want to watch.

Of course its up to people what they want to watch , but if you only ever see one side of an argument how are you ever going to make an informed decision .
This goes for all news reports .
