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.

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

@Catherine21
(My views) While the Green Party supports the social model of disability and opposes benefit cuts, this ruthless Labour government raises real fears-will any party truly hold the line, or U-turn like the rest? Honestly, I’m hurting and losing faith in politicians.Just heard from Scope that my local MPs didn’t attend the recent parliamentary event-despite my personal emails urging them to back the campaign against benefit cuts. It’s disheartening.
Right now, resisting these devastating cuts is my focus (as I’ve shared before). We must keep up the momentum. There’s so much power in our voices.
In solidarity ✊

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!
In Solidarity ✊
