Thanks @Catherine21 . Just found it shared in a tweet. Have you seen the WCA new petition?(scroll one page back on this thread). Best wishes Catherine

Hi @Catherine21

Many Labour MPs are not accepting the trade off between taking more children out of poverty and so putting more of us into poverty.

You may have have read the article about this on the community but if not, it is fully explained here. 👇

@Passerby

Have you noticed that every time they scrap a benefit, the one that replaces it is worth quite a bit less money wise. 😡

You can bet that when the "Health Element" of UC replaces the LCWRA it will be even more miserly than it's predecessor, for new claimants first then how long will it be before they apply it to existing claimants on review. ⚠️

I don't wish to alarm anyone here but I think that we better take that possibility into consideration, so we can be prepared to fight it eventually. 🤔

The evil being perpetrated here is undiluted and never ending too..…😞

PLEASE DON'T FORGET that the Local Elections are coming up on 1st May 2025. If it is possible for you do so I URGE YOU TO VOTE. 📢 Please don't think that Local Elections are for local issues, they can make a great deal of difference to national policy making too. ✊✊✊✊

It is vitally important as we have a chance to vote against the Labour government, with 80 MPs being in unstable swing seats where disabled people in each of their constituencies (each MPs area) can easily vote them out, as long as THEY DO turn out to vote.

Each vote in every other constituency IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THOUGH.

Whatever you do please don't doubt that YOUR VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ✊✊✊✊ PLEASE THINK COLLECTIVELY, THE MORE OF US ACT TOGETHER THE BETTER!!

For those of you who believe that none of the main political parties represent you and you would normally stay at home and not vote did you know THAT YOU CAN SPOIL YOUR BALLOT? 🤔

For the sake of keeping it simple, just write a big cross ❎ like that from edge to edge of the whole paper, right through all the candidates, like the example below. 👇👇👇👇

Please don't put a mark of ANY KIND by any individual candidate as it will be considered as a vote for them.

I know by experience, of course, just how tough it is with our health conditions to even consider going out, for many of us (including me) and we all feel so ground down by the vile government treatment of the disabled but this is something that COULD MAKE A VERY REAL DIFFERENCE TO OUR FIGHT AGAINST THESE PROPOSED SADISTIC, IMMORAL AND POSSIBLY UNLAWFUL CUTS!!

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE HAD A POSTAL VOTE WILL HAVE SENT IT IN BY NOW BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.👇👇👇👇

Firstly, you must be on the ELECTORAL REGISTER, if not make sure that, when the letter comes later in the year to sign you up to it, you do so for future elections.

Please check that there is an election in your area (constituency) at the link below. (Sorry, it was the best I could do with it)

Unfortunately there isn't a Local Election in my constituency this year!! 😱😱 😱 😱 so please make a difference too for those of us who have no opportunity to vote at all at this crucial time!! 😒

Hi, Mine was a postal vote and I am delighted to say my voting slip was ''defaced'' and posted 😁 They get my voting slip but they do not get my vote. I said this a while ago on here, that I intended to deface the slip, my local candidates do not deserve my vote, not one mentioned health/welfare in their campaign agendas, preferring to talk only about ''you know, important issues'' like tree planting and pot holes. My little ''rebellion'' may be perceived as a small meaningless act but boy it gave me a nice little mood lift for a min or two, as painful as not using my vote was, given my family roots and being a woman, it was a decision I had to make.
