typo i do it all the time lol

I have complained to my MP that no consideration given to the announcement that has caused all this worry and stress for everyone.

Thanks, @keira

Great call . I’m really glad to see Benefits and Work have started analysing the vital SMI data from the 550 survey respondents to their “No to 4-point PIP descriptors” campaign.

It’s encouraging that they’ve published both the Survey analysis and some powerful, real-life testimonials from people with SMI who took part in that survey . These are so important for us to include when communicating with our Local MPs.

I hadn’t come across that link before, and I found it really eye-opening-especially reading about my own MP, who sadly seems firmly tied to some of Labour’s flawed policy positions. As the link suggests, I also believe that contacting our local MPs directly via their official Parliament email is more impactful and personal than using the generic contact forms provided by organisations. It’s more likely to get their attention.

Still, it’s vital that we keep the pressure up from all directions to ensure disabled and vulnerable voices are truly heard.Every action counts.

Thank you again!

We're not allowed to see the reality there, just wring hands and utter weak, mealy mouthed statements.

The problem with clinging onto a past policy that was harmful but long since over is that we might accidentally miss a current policy that is even more harmful.

I'm a floating voter but it always scares me when I see disabled support shift across to Reform, who want to get rid of all the equality safeguards through the ECHR and actually said prior to the previous election that they wanted rid of most welfare benefits and to privatise the NHS.

I didn't vote for Labour, but even with all of this mess I would rather have them in power. At least some of them are fighting for us, even against the party. Meanwhile Reform…How many Reform members have we heard speaking out against this? Or Tories?

…At least the current Libs, Greens, etc are speaking out. We can only judge on now, not what happened more than ten years ago.

Utterly convinced now Labour will be out after the next election unless something huge happens (they force Starmer to stand down) we are in this mess because he decided on a paragraph of promises when there was no need. Its just warped he wont budge on those but when standing for leader he even promised to axe UC,

but disabled people will always be seen as the easy targets and will keep being the group of choice when a new Govt wants to save some money and to hell with the cost on us.

My sister goes shopping for me on a Monday and I have 100% the same things for years

again its gone up. 5 years ago these items came in around 25 pounds its now 48 pounds.

things are going worst for me and i know why its all this worry from this, a week ago I was choking on vomit, I couldn't call anyone so just smacked my hand on the table and my sister heard it. they are utterly clueless but more worrying they do not care

I never did hear back from the MP, Nia Griffith so for all the talk from her agent.

Reform are so close to taking this seat and they just cant see its the total inaction the total silence, this is not the Labour party under Starmer and if any Ministers/MP's still care

they need to act after May because the elections that will take place will be a wakeup call

local council seats are happening on a weekly basis the latest one was in David Lammys area and the Greens won by 51% these are only small results but this is a staunch labour area.
