if that’s the case and this is just a rough estimate in my head but if 100 abstain and 70 vote against then it will be very tight, could be around 240 for 250 against. That’s assuming every conservative vote against it.

Thank you , I read it needs 83 . Plus Tory’s who I’ve read are voting against. Won’t it make a difference if 100 abstained ?

No way the Tories will vote against these cuts , 100 abstaining is criminal ! I've just seen on Gmb that they look like they are going to climb down on winter fuel cuts , why this is good news , I don't think it's particularly good news for the disability cuts we are facing .... This climb down of the winter fuel will tide alot of people over I think , and alot of anger towards the government over the issue will be toned down .... I even think of the government say they made a mistake it would do them no harm at all .... In turn I think the disability cuts would be lost in all this and get through .... I was a bit more confident a few days ago , today not so much 😩

And talk of a climb down on the two child limit . So we get completely forgotten. I hope I’m wrong as it was daily mail

I’d be happy if they reversed the WFA and lifted the benefits cap on the amount of children. Poverty is wrong no matter who it effects.

I totally agree and didn’t in any way wish to upset you, I just meant that I want everyone to be out of poverty including us of course.

I read yesterday on daily mail 100 abstaining and 70 voting against

I read 100 Labour abstaining but was daily mail so not sure . I read we only need 83 to vote against and win
