They don't know whether to treat us like children - pocket money and knowing better than we do what's good for us - or liars and thieves trying to cheat the system.

You keep saying you haven’t mentioned PIP and that’s exactly what surprises me. You’re missing the point of the serious proposals heading our way. I’m genuinely worried about the changes planned for November 2026, especially the new rule that mandates a minimum of four points in a single descriptor to initiate the qualification process for PIP daily living support.
After 2028, disability support will be determined solely by PIP assessment – that’s the direction we’re heading. That’s why I’m spending my time writing to ministers and organisations.
You said, “What the Tories did (with help) between 2010 and 2015 to trash the protections written into the Welfare Reform Act 2007 still needs to be understood and challenged!”
Your focus on past events, like the dismantling of protections in the Welfare Reform Act 2007, serves as a powerful reminder of what’s at stake. It’s not just about grieving what’s been lost, but using that knowledge to fuel your fight against these upcoming reforms.
What strategies from past mistakes are you finding most effective in your own advocacy efforts? I’d be very interested to hear.

This might help, hope it sort of answers your question!!
✅ Does King Charles III have to sign off on parliamentary legislation?
Yes—but more precisely, this is what's called Royal Assent. It's the final formal step for a bill to become law after it's been approved by both Houses of Parliament (Commons and Lords).
❌ Can he refuse to give Royal Assent?
In theory, yes. But in practice, no. This is one of those areas where constitutional monarchy and democratic tradition meet.
- The last time a monarch refused Royal Assent was in 1708, when Queen Anne vetoed a bill.
- Since then, Royal Assent has been a ceremonial duty. It's given automatically on the advice of ministers.
- If King Charles III were to refuse assent, it would provoke a huge constitutional crisis, as it would go against centuries of democratic precedent.
👑 TL;DR:
- He must give Royal Assent for a bill to become law.
- He can’t realistically refuse it, even if he disagrees with the policy—it would break with modern democratic norms.
