Thank you so much - from one Lou to another! 😀
I'm going to amend the letter I sent to the MP and send it off to DWP - I think I remember they give an address so I'll send it there.
Those questions are appalling and I think are based on the assumption that the reforms are accepted.
I'm not one to be dramatic (I'm too practical!) but I seriously wonder if they are doing this as some sort of "cull". It certainly sounds like it.
Speaking from my own situation, I will be 64 years at my next review, with three years to retirement. No one is going to employ someone of that age with increasing decrepitness (I have to be honest, that's how it's going!) yet I don't score four points on any descriptors for daily living. I would lose a significant part of my financial help and would not have enough to live on. Where would we go for help? I am now living on the basis that I will not be here in three years' time - perhaps this is what they want? I worked full-time for forty years and this is not how I expected things to end.
Anyway, thank you for getting back and I will certainly do that letter x4 -
mines up next Feb and I haven’t had a firm yet

yes Catherine and Mike amesbury gave an interview where he said he’s lost his house now as can’t afford it . He said they need to think about that . So they may not care about us but they must be thinking is loyalty to Starmer worth ruining their career over.

nothing to do with with being convicted of giving a hiding to a member of the public and losing his job when he lied about it you reap what you sow

Oh right that one night ruined his life and the lady with the red hair she was in public transport department she had to leave and she said starner needs to change course it's like the domino's effect just starts with one person being brave and outspoken then rest followed more so after voting day I think as weeks go on it will be alot more mps no one wants to lose thier jobs or be called the nasty party especially new mps

Thank you, I know all that). But I'm not very well immersed in the facts of the struggle and don't know the intricacies of its history like, for example, @WhatThe . I'm just analyzing the history of psychological qperations of the last couple of hundred years and adapting it to current events for the benefit of the disabled. I hope this will be useful.

100% right Michael. He should be in prison. It was obviously his way of garnering sympathy for a career comeback but the fact his been pushed off the gravy train must surely make back benchers think . They’re not rich like Starmer and reeves

I think that Louise haigh if I remember correctly. What a bunch they are. Fraud , battery , indecent exposure towards a child ( can’t remember his name ) . Literally if this was the Tory’s Starmer would have a lot to say . The only way to save themselves is to get rid of the cuts and Starmer and he can take demented Kendall reeves Timms with him

I wrote that in email to my mp I said starmer reeves kendell will leave with millions I said mps will leave with damaged reputations

starmer probably has his next job lined up. He doesn’t care about the uk or being PM. It’s all a stepping stone. But once he’s gone they’re left behind and they won’t even be the opposition next time they’ll be finished
