so if you take that example Labour never got in . But lets not forget that Trump got the house the senate and the popular vote .

If you have read my comments before, I have always said that it does not matter which party rules - the course to reduce payments to the disabled and pensioners has been adopted long ago and is being steadily implemented.

Replace "Trump" with "Biden" in your comment - nothing will change.

Exactly. In any country this is true so " all America support Trump" is demonstrably untrue!

Hi all, I think we are at risk of getting a little off track with the Trump discussions here.
Please can we move the discussion back on to the Green Paper issues. There's lots that we won't agree on when it comes to politics, especially with the world as it is now! But let's try to keep the conversation civil and on topic where possible please 😊

You can use Google Translate to read Ukrainian and Russian news channels as they describe the same situation on the front. And also translate Russian and Ukrainian versions of BBC.com

@ Catherine and Luvpink -The time goes down the toilet. I seldom dwell on it.
Highly illogical, but I wish there was a reset button, get another go at life so to speak.

What does Trump have to to do with us losing our benefits?

Nothing, really. (Thread drift). Back on topic folks.

Do scope moderators have the ability to mute or suspend accounts on here ....
Far to many posts which aren't relevant to the benefits cuts

I’ll start. My pip (lower mobility rate) came on Tuesday, and I got a “rise” from £28.70 to £29.20 - a fifty pence rise! That’s incredible! , I mean …..

I’m staying off this thread at moment for the exact same reason. It needs brought back into focus.

He didn’t. Around 38.7 percent of eligible Americans voted for Trump. His approval rating has gone down further since the election and is now lower than his contemporaries at this time for sixty years. Kamala was unelectable having being ‘shuffled’ in but it was by no means a landslide. He is particularly unpopular with voters on the economy at the present time. This is not a forum/ topic about Trump and I’ve asked moderators to remind folk of that but you should revisit facts about his popularity.

I've been unusually busy today. Could anyone explain what the various charities/ organisations hope to gain by boycotting the discussions around this green paper?
Have they concluded it is a waste of time/energy as it's already a done deal? 😕

worried, I have seen someone else mention it is seeded in an earlier change as well, but I would love a link to these two acts so I can read myself, because if it was in those acts then surely it would have led to changes been enacted earlier, so I would prefer to read these acts. But maybe I can skip that, If I am right you mean the planned removal of LCW/LCWRA in their entirety?
Search legislation.gov.uk
No, don't skip them! They need to be read and understood - the 2011 amended ESA regulations in conjunction with the Welfare Reform Act 2012.
We need Greens and Lib dems to merge, for some reason they wont do it, the latest polling graph has Tories, Labour and Reform at the low 20s support, if Lib Dems and Greens merged, they would have combined 23%.
Sadly, Ed Davey helped pass the 2015 cuts into law after the LibDem/Tory coalition government got the "reassessment regulations" through in 2010. Many other sitting MP's were serving then.
