This fight’s only just getting started and suddenly MPs are discovering that karma doesn’t just come for ordinary people, it also politely knocks on the doors of taxpayer-funded second homes in Surrey. Months of concerns about benefit cuts were dismissed as "necessary reforms" but now the penny has well and truly dropped. Turns out, when your £93,904 salary, subsidised meals, second home and taxpayer-funded travel are under threat at the next election, policy decisions suddenly feel very personal. Less "responsible governance," more "how do I maintain my current standard of living, come the next election?"

Take Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan, for example. With only an 18-vote majority and 5,000 constituents reliant on PIP, he’s now openly admitting that if these benefit cuts go through, he’s “toast” in his seat. But the concern isn’t for the thousands of disabled people bracing for financial ruin, oh no! His sudden epiphany didn’t come from empathy, but from panic, the moment the issue stopped being about a few million losing their benefits and started to look like a one-way ticket to the Jobcentre for him, come the next election. Voting for these cuts would mean voting himself out of a nice little earner, and that, it seems, is the real emergency!

Lobbying works. The heat has clearly reached many MPs already, and pressure is mounting not out of compassion for the disabled and sick, but driven by the undeniable force of self-interest. The pot is starting to bubble, and now is the time to turn up the gas! Keep the momentum going, keep emailing, keep writing, keep lobbying. The more we push, the harder it will be for them to ignore us and the grim futures they face if they turn against us!
