I'm looking forward to the local elections in May …..
It's looking like Liebour could be in for a severe beating which will lead to discontent in the ranks …
Bring it on !

Proposed PIP cuts already causing harm to people living with SMI
Warning: this article includes repeated references to self-harm and suicide
The proposed changes to the PIP scoring system will affect many claimants living with severe mental illness (SMI) and some have already experienced a deterioration in their health, a Benefits and Work survey suggests.
What you can do
If, due to being misled, MPs vote in favour of the Green Paper changes it will mean disaster for large numbers of claimants. From November 2026 until after the next general election at least 10,000 claimants every month will lose their PIP. This will include many living with SMI.
Please draw the attention of your MP to this issue.
Ask them to ask the secretary of state for work and pensions to publish a breakdown by health condition detailing how many claimants get the PIP care component without scoring 4 points or higher.

Hi everyone, I haven’t been on here for a few days so don’t know if this has already been posted. There’s an article on the guardian site which says data has been shown to Labour MPs which claims 80 of them risk losing their seat next election due to benefits cuts . Including Wes streeting and Jess Philips . I don’t know how to link it here sorry

Liebour party is out if they follow through with these changes.
I think everyone knows that.1 -
and unless they start tackling inequality soon, Reform will win next election but I don’t think they’ll get a majority.
Liebour didn’t win last time, the conservatives lost cause people were fed up with them and in only 6 months,‘Liebour have managed to upset many of their voters.3 -
I think we all know they don’t care about us but they do care about their seat in parliament ( gravy train ). I wrote that to Starmer , Reeves , Kendall and Timms and got ignored by them all . I’m sure they’ve had many emails like that . It’s interesting the last part about contacting Starmer to change course but no point in Reeves . I can’t remember it all due to brain fog ( though I only read it a while ago 😂) but they obviously know she doesn’t care .

I think it will be reform and Tory coalition. Labour are truly awful and in a short space of time have alienated many different groups, it’s hard to see who their voting base will be . I think there’s a lot of people who wish we still had Tory’s as the cuts they were going to make weren’t as bad as labours . Labour seem demented especially Kendall. I’m hoping at some point they oust starmer even if to save their own seats.

secretsquirrel, "I’m hoping at some point they oust starmer even if to save their own seats."
Ousting Starmer won't help us. He isn't ex-DWP and I don't believe he knows what his ex-DWP Ministers have been up to for the last 10 years.
All that the anti-Starmer movement is doing is burying the mischief behind Iain Duncan Smith's earlier reforms which, so far, he's got away with! IDS needs to be called out before it's too late!

Hi Catherine I’m ok thanks, how are you ? I’m hoping this all gets watered down or stopped completely 🤞🙏. I called UC this morning as I haven’t received a migration letter. I spoke to a lovely girl who put my mind at rest . She didn’t know much about the green paper changes but I asked her if I would be reassessed as I’ve heard that on YouTube . I’m esa legacy btw. She said as I’m in support group it’ll be a 30 minute filling in info and that’s it. She said we don’t even have enough staff to assess everyone so don’t worry. Apparently they’re getting a lot of worried ppl contacting them after watching YouTube.

But the LibDems supported all those measures in 2010 and saw them legislated for!
Now they want to reverse those cuts? Do people actually believe this nonsense? I fear some members here do.
