Whoever thought I'd hate starmer nearly as much as Boris , he's such a dickhead .... I can't believe how he is going on since becoming pm .... Utterly ruthless , he doesn't have a caring bone in his body .... To be honest I'm still in disbelief that they can get these through .... People that are struggling now losing an extra 5000 , its going to cause absolute upheavals , how will it possibly work , it doesn't seem logical no matter what angle you come at it from

nearer to 15K in the worse case scenario with us …

pip higher rate £110.40 PW = £5740 per year

lcwra £423 per month = £5076 per year

carers allowance £83.30 PW = £4331 per year

Grand total … £15,147

i'm presuming that carers allowance isn't awarded for mobility only ?

Yes, Starmer does seem to like human rights but not equality. 🙄 That might sound like a contradiction but equality means equal rights for EVERYONE where human rights, although they should be the same as equality are obviously not if only "allowed" to certain select groups. 😤

He does like divide and rule a favourite of the establishment.

You've made a good point about nobody marching on our behalf. Have you noticed that disadvantaged groups, approved of by the establishment are the ones that get the most attention from protesters? 🤔

When we protest it is only us, our DPOs, friends and families?

Unless we look after ourselves, nobody else will do that protesting for us, however valid our cause, it's never been more so. 😡

It shows that the divide and rule tactic from the top works and they know it.

The public is mislead about disabled people's conditions and circumstances and people who have always had their health and have only seen elderly people become disabled, can't relate to us, especially if we have "hidden" health conditions as we both have.

No wonder so many of them can't imagine disability coming to them earlier in life. No one is safe from it though, as we both know from bitter experience.

I agree that there are some excellent news sources for us on YouTube. They are often carer's of disabled loved ones so really have the lived experience of what effect disabilities have on you and how having the financial support removed will REALLY mean.

Starmer is digging a hole 🕳️ for himself and won't stop digging. As far as he is concerned, he and the Labour leadership can never be wrong.

It's being said, now we've had the Local Election results that Labour are under much greater threat from the Greens and the Lib Dems than they ever will be from Reform.

When it comes to Starmer, there's none so blind as those that won't see. I wonder too, why Morgan McSweeny the Labour chief of staff and leader of the Labour right wing group, Labour Together has such massive influence over their party policy. No one elected him!!

He seems like what Elon Musk is to Donald Trump. I think that they should lock them up with Starmer and McSweeny and throw away the key! 🔑

you see clearly how different protects are policed too depending on who’s side the police are on. Probably told who to come down on as they’re marching for what the police and government finds acceptable. Disabled aren’t in fashion this year so they aren’t worried about us . I think they protest for the fun of it as they aren’t worried about the WFA or disabled IMO.

Absolutely right! I emailed my MP about this earlier today. He's Conservative and will doubtless be interested in using whatever he can to help hold the government to account, whatever it's about.

I was polite and respectful and of course that included NOT mentioning that it was their actions that helped get us into this situation in the first place with Labour!! That would never do. 😁

You have to look at it that even if you have to appeal to hypocritical self interest, as long as it helps us, that's what we have to do. Let's face it, it's not likely to come from a moral standpoint, with the majority of MPs. 🙄
