    I find it hard to believe she didn’t know what kind of person he is though . Maybe it was fine as long as he was ok to her . It’s us and the pensioners I feel sorry for . I must admit when I saw that pic of her I thought it was photoshopped and fake news . I don’t 100% believe news sites and thought this can’t be real . But it shows how he lives a double life to get what he wants and doesn’t care about anyone else.

    Don't worry, I found it a bit confusing myself. Once you've read the letter on the DPAC site, if you look at the Summery at the top it will tell you to email them to tell them you want to sign up and if you are signing as an individual or a group.

    I just clicked on the navigation bar (in red at the top) where I entered my full name and email address, put down the subject then I wrote the request in the message box.

    Press the Submit button (red at the bottom) and they leave a message saying that they will get back to you.

    I hope that helps. 😊

    Things obviously changed when he got into power. She probably had a very good idea of what he was but was probably shocked by just how evil and self seeking he had become.

    I thought that most of the photos looked genuine but I thought that one might be fake.

    Let's say that it wouldn't surprise me if she had suffered a lot, whatever may or may not have been done to the photos.

    He's like all narcissistics, they use people and then discard them when they've finished with them. The fact that she's his wife wouldn't have bothered him in the slightest.

    And she works in the NHS doesn’t she ? If she does how embarrassing for her working with sick or disabled people and her husband has an agenda to cause us harm .
    I just watched silver fox and apparently a special advisor has resigned and said pip was originally supposed to be frozen until their plan of building started to improve the economy. When it became obvious that wasn’t happening they decided to scrap pip instead .

    UC taken from nearly 400,000 people during their managed migration. That is a quarter of the total and most of them are women. This is an outrage that is going under the radar. 😤

    If it's a cost cutting exercise then it will be taken to court.

    Thank you for posting. It makes sense when you think how rushed it was and how desperate they are to get the cuts through so quickly

    New DWP figures show PIP figures virtually zero. (yet again.👍)

    Hi jul, I watched silver fox earlier and he spoke of an interesting article about a special advisor of the government. According to him pip was only supposed to be frozen until their building plans were growing the economy. When they realised this wasn’t going to happen they decided to scrap pip . Not sure how true it is obviously but it’s not surprising.

    Hi, here it is.

    Sir Keir Starmer is facing the biggest rebellion of his premiership over planned benefits cuts.

    More than 100 Labour MPs have said they are not currently prepared to back his sweeping welfare reforms in a vote expected next month.

    Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, set out plans in the Spring Statement to bring down the benefits Bill by £4.3 billion.

    The proposals – under which only the most disabled adults could claim Personal Independence Payments (PIP), and under-22s would become ineligible for Universal Credit – have drawn concern.

    The rebellion is understood to extend into the Government, with a handful of parliamentary private secretaries (PPS), who hold the most junior ministerial rank, said to be wavering on the issue.

    The revolt comes amid growing anger over Sir Keir and Ms Reeves’s decision last year to **** winter fuel payments from 10 million pensioners, a move which Labour figures blamed for the party’s local elections drubbing this month.

    In a letter that will be sent to Alan Campbell, the Government’s Chief Whip, next week about 130 MPs have said Sir Keir must change course or risk defeat in the Commons.

    One of the signatories, a backbencher, told The Telegraph: “There’s a lot of people who have children with quite profound disabilities and things like that. The under-22 thing has caused quite a lot of concern.

    One of our colleagues has a child with a severe disability. Their condition isn’t going to get better from 18 to 22.”

    They described the welfare cuts as “Treasury capture”, adding: “This letter is something that quite explicitly says this isn’t good enough and as things stand we’re not going to vote for it from as large a group of people as possible.

    “They need to start listening. It’s as simple as that. No one’s paying any attention to the bigger picture and nobody will give us any credit if we’re mired in this kind of stuff.”

    A second MP said: “Some of the people who signed that letter will have already been offered a slip for the day when the vote comes, so they don’t have to be here.

    “People are worried the October Statement is going to have more pain in it. People thought winter fuel was all it was going to be, and then it’s not winter fuel, it’s X, Y and Z put on top of that.”

    Thank you 🙏. How many do we need to stop it going through do you know ? I’ve read the Tory’s and independents are voting against and reform for cuts .

    So if true this would be good news for us ? Would we need the Tory’s to vote against ?
