    Apologies @WhatThe- point taken. I’ll make sure to avoid abbreviations moving forward. I’m just trying to keep things ticking along and share what I know. At the end of the day, we only have each other to lean on, so let’s just move on and keep things positive. Wishing you a good day!

    Found this on DPAC'S FB page. A crowdfunding page to raise money to fight the reforms.

    We still don't know who is behind this "new DPO".

    My role is to point out flaws in past legislation and regulations because they matter now more than ever! That's the only way of holding sitting MP's responsible for the harm they have caused and will continue to cause.

    Social media, despite its risks, is a powerful tool for spreading awareness and mobilising action.

    It does exactly that. It also spreads misinformation.

    It's like the Tories and Labour want us all depressed and miserable.

    @Catherine21

    Your message honestly moved me -it’s like a much-needed burst of love and light in the middle of all this heaviness. I’m humbled by your words, and if anything, I should be saying the same right back to you. You beat me to it! 😉


    I honestly don’t know how you do it -even on days when your mental health is really fragile, when you’re running on empty, you’re still firing off emails to MPs, APPGs, Lords, Angela Rayner, Debbie Abrahams, the Baroness, even Starmer himself. 😳You’ve also contacted every legal route possible -it’s truly  incredible. But what’s even more inspiring is that you always share the responses too, turning it into something empowering, educational, and collective. That’s such a powerful thing to do -and it helps so many of us feel a little less alone, a little more hopeful.


    Among a few truly inspiring voices, you’ve been a real source of motivation-not just for me personally, but for many others too. On days I’ve even struggled to get out of bed, been in pain, had falls -People like you have virtually checked in on me, lifted me up, made me feel seen. That matters more than I can put into words. ❤️Watching you stand against these cuts so fiercely, despite what you’re going through, gives the rest of us strength too. You’re fast, fiery, focused -a force. I can’t keep up with your energy at all!😊


    I’m truly glad if I bring even a little lightness into this community -but what you bring is deep, enduring strength and resilience . Through all of this, sticking together like this is what gives me hope. I really believe we will get through this -and that voices like yours will be part of the reason real change happens.


    Let’s keep that fire going -Catherine, I’m truly proud to stand alongside you and everyone here in this shared collective. 🤗

    "If you're happy to share, I look forward to reviewing the responses you receive from MPs when you raise your findings with them."

    I will not be sharing the responses I received during the last reforms but the script in 2025 is identical!

    Please take a moment to read the attached response from the Disability Activism Society, which follows the Government’s official reply. Let’s all do our bit -sign and share this parliamentary petitionwidely. Reaching 100,000 signatures will help trigger a vital debate in Parliament.

    (You can find the full Government response just below the petition link.)

    Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefits

    Sorry didn't know where to post this. Is there something wrong with the site? Since this afternoon the alerts/notifications - for example this discussion, say this if I click on them from my profile. I can only get to read them from going to recent discussions. Same in all browsers and any discussion that have notifications for.

    It says a lot about Kendall when she rather have a Tory government than a Labour Corbyn one.

    they’re all the same . Starmer surrounded himself in Tory’s . It’s as though it’s on purpose to ruin the Labour Party . How can anyone be as stupid as they are

    Hi! The authorities received a letter from one person and a petition signed by many - they will consider it as two letters, a simple official will process them at best, if not AI ( 😄 ). Today is not the 19th century. Therefore, it is necessary to convey your opinion in a way that is unexpected for the authorities. And the demand "on trifles" blurs the general meaning of disagreement with the reduction of payments to the disabled and pensioners.

    Of course. For data, such as texts of laws and color books, wiki markup should be used.
