Uc basic is being increased so all those being made unemployed will think that extra £7 will stop them claiming sickness benefits when they lose their jobs . I can’t think he’s doing anything for the better of this country, it’s as though he’s purposely destroying it. No one can be this stupid surely.

Thanks, I definately agree MPs who side with this will regret it in the long run - at least the ones that are normal people. There are probably a few MPs who genuinely enjoy torturing the poor and disabled. My worry is that any buyer's remorse will be slow to come and only after huge damage has been inflicted. It's so frustrating when it's so damn obvious this 'reform' is cruel, pointless and will not work - I know nothing about economics and even I can see the damage it will cause - even if some politics don't care about it on a personal level, it makes no sense to take money away. I don't know whether to keep emailing my MP. It was really scary at first but I got a template from a youtube channel (Charlie Anderson) that was helpful - my first email was a rambling mess. It does give me hope that there are MPs who hate this - you can begin to see the tide turning with them with winter fuel amoung MPs. I cannot understand why the govt is still so stubbornly clinging to these policies, especially Labour. I pray we and the MPs can pressure them into a u-turn, I don't care if the govt finds it 'too humilating'. there's so many things they've got so wrong and I don't get why - winter fuel, 2 child benefit cap etc. It just looks so, so bad. Do they really not care? I can't believe they actually believe in these policies…*sigh*

"at least the ones that are normal people."
You're right, as the rest are what Jeremy Paxman described in his book as "Political animals".

Keir Starmer is lucky, as the much-loved and most fearless and feared interviewer is on his battle with Parkinson's - Jeremy Paxman.
Guess what - the last time I watched TV was when he was hosting the Newsnight.

I think Sunak would have been easier to persuade to change his mind . I thought at the time when Mel stride brought out the Tory green paper it seemed a last attempt at vote winning. Mel stride seems a thoroughly horrible man but I didn’t get that from Sunak . Certainly nothing like Starmer .

That seems a very low number. We need more Labour MP's to revolt. Any MP that votes for these proposals will lose their seat at the next General Election.

I emailed my MP and got a standard copy and paste reply supporting the cuts. I sent the reply to Scope’s campaign team who asked, if I felt able, to email again and give him Scope’s public affairs team contact details. I’ve just had a more personal reply from my MP. He doesn’t say whether he still backs the cuts or not but I felt that he is actually listening now and is more likely to form his own opinion rather than do as he’s told

No. B&W don't fill in forms but their resources about how to complete a form are invaluable.
