President Trump is doing what he promised , whether people agree or not , he's keeping his promise . Our government lied in their manifesto and even worse what they are doing to us the disabled .

Trump, misleads the public continuously. Every other word he says it’s a lie.
And yes, Labour Party have been more devious than him in terms of their manifesto.

That depends if you watch MSM .

don’t make me laugh please.You can think whatever you want about Trump, I can’t care less but he’s a compulsive liar.
That’s a fact. Not an opinion, not a MSM. A FACT

Title: The Employment and Support Allowance( Limited Capability for Work and Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity) (Amendment) Regulations 2011:
Iain Duncan Smith Government posts
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Department for Work and Pensions 12 May 2010 - 19 March 2016IDS wrote those amendments in preparation for his Welfare Reform Act 2012.

and if Trump (Republican) and Liebour don’t tackle the problem of inequality soon, they’ll both be out of a job next election.

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.

No way do I want a job coach assessing me I think age does matter

Well exactly but people saying that might be a plan

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!
😠

Disabled people’s organisations considering halting all engagement with disability minister

AI is saying the opposite:
In 2015, while in opposition, Labour did not support the removal of the Limited Capability for Work (LCW) component from disability benefits, but rather opposed the government's proposals to change the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) and the removal of the LCW component.

This was said by Liebour Party Ed Miliband 2013:
“Liam Byrne, and his leader, Ed Miliband, have been criticised by disabled campaigners over the last two years for mirroring some of the hostile rhetoric that has come from sections of the media and the coalition.
Some activists saw an improvement in tone and content at last year’s Labour conference, although Miliband again used his main conference speech to suggest that many disabled benefit claimants were choosing a life on social security rather than finding jobs”
that’s the only thing I could find regarding LCW.
the rhetoric used then by Ed Miliband’s gang is the same used today.I wonder if that changed when Corbyn took over
