So you have made the connection too. If they are going to make immigrants wait 10 years for settled status instead of 5 then they will need to make up the numbers of our own people in work.
This is a truly horrible idea and will not work. However they will try to make it work like forcing a square peg into a round hole.
Starmer and Co must be stopped, somehow from doing this or have the proposals greatly modified before they drag us down too far. The whole aim of these evil proposals is so dangerous and inhumane it it defies description.

I can believe that. That's the type he is. The only person he treats well is himself. Rayner has spoke out in favour of the cuts though so I don't rate her at all, if that's her attitude.
Even if, privately she doesn't agree with the cuts, she shouldn't say she agrees just so she can keep her seat on the gravy train. They are all as despicable as each other, as far as I'm concerned.

I didn’t until you mentioned it but it does seem rather coincidental. Mind you I don’t think he has any real info stopping immigration and he must know the disabled cannot care for the disabled. Who would give us a job looking after the elderly when we are disabled ourselves, that would be a health and safety risk . The fact they aren’t even mentioning the fit healthy job seekers makes me think it’s more of their stupid talk. It’s like a double assault on the elderly to me , the figures show it’s mostly older people losing pip but they can’t be relied upon to be carers so who will actually look after the elderly?
I can’t understand what he’s planning as nothing makes sense. He’s just trying to outdo other parties as he has no clue himself or is this a plan to ruin the country ?

Rosie duffield said he has a problem with women. I actually watched an interview with rayner before the election. She was interviewed by a disabled lady and came over very well . But obviously she has no real power and doesn’t want to lose her perks . You can tell what type of person she is by buying a council house , selling for profit then wanting others to lose that same opportunity.

I apologise if I didn't explain that very well. 😊
You pay for online advice guides that help you to apply for PIP, UC etc and they have additional guides to help you through MR, appeal and so on.
If you pay the membership you will be able to download the guides and use them yourself or let someone else take you through them as the form is being filled in.
I have made a screenshot of the cover page of my members only guide to PIP below
I hope that makes it all clearer! 👍

I'm so sorry to hear what you have said in your message LouCie61. 😟
This situation is something that none of us could have forseen. We knew that politicians were very much against us but the sheer scale of the cruelty involved this time and human rights abuses are still really difficult to take in.
I worked for more than 20 years myself, in one job for 15 of them. I have been disabled for the last 21 years by MS/CFS plus an anxiety disorder and depression.
I thought life would not be easy but I didn't think that they could make it so hard for us. 😞

We are all going through so much everyday with these attacks on us.
I know everyday is a struggle and it consumes our thoughts.
Never thought I'd be in a position where I'd end up homeless because of the government and that scares me.
The Government haven't beat us, there will be a lot of tribunals I would imagine.
And I'm ready for the fight Starmer, Reeves,Kendall

It is well worth subscribing just for the free elements Zipz, I have been with them for well over 12 years now, they are the best I believe. After the first year where you pay £20 for the year, mine was then reduced to £11 per year so you do get a discount after the initial subscription, if this is still the case. I know money is so tight for everyone but please have a little look at their free stuff, that alone is worth its weight in gold honestly Zipz. I wouldn't take any advice from random YouTube channels, some are really appalling and get everything wrong which scares folk even more, some are just news channels so they just repeat what we already know but offer no direct help, some others charge for form filling help, or any help they provide is behind a paywall. I particularly do not like the very new ones that have suddenly popped up all over the web that give the impression they are going help everyone, get help with say the 4 points, only then for folk to find out when they ask how they get this help, they are basically told its going cost you £150 to do a ''test'' that a person has literally come up with overnight.

No one would employ anyone who is disabled to look after the elderly. The government are only trying to mislead the electorate that we are all capable of being employed and will actually get jobs to try to out do Reform.
They certainly won't mention the fit and healthy jobseekers as people will start asking why they cannot be employed before we are. That would never do for the government!
What they are doing to the country makes no sense because they are not governing, they are trying to stay in power which is quite different to making the effort to run the country in the correct way.
Because of this sort of self interest, people on average or low incomes suffer, the disabled more than anyone else.
However, by looking after the rich and big corporations, big tech the banks etc, they get huge donations to the party and large individual donations, which they do their best to get away with accepting.
It's sickening 🤢 isn't it. 😡

Yes, she did. Presumably why his wife is no longer with him.
Rayner might have come over well in the interview but you're right in pointing out the sale of her council house.
That is the sort of action that proves she isn't genuine and further proved by her hypocrisy with the disabled.
They'll do anything to stay on the gravy train including making themselves look so mean spirited. I bet if you could ask her about it, she wouldn't think that she'd done anything wrong!

Morning all
Its been a beautiful sunny week here at St Ives.
I have had a great week.
I had a text yesterday saying my pip form has been received.
I don't think they will be in a hurry to contact me any time soon as my current award expires September next year but who knows.
I went into a lot more detail this time on the form about how my disability affects me and I wrote extra evidence so if I have to go to a tribunal it will all be taken into account.
Take care folks.
