    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 ?

    100 abstaining is a joke, i've more time for the tw@ts that vote in favour of the cuts rather than these cowards who think it's an easy way out ….

    We will remember them !

    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 😩

    All we can do is keep up the pressure on the MPs and hope for the best but expect the worse.

    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

    That's exactly what I think , I mean when you think about it it's a no brainer isn't it 🤷🤦..... Reverse winter fuel , child benefit cap .... And then all of a sudden the pressure is eased , public perception changes , all of a sudden the rehtoric changes to " well something needs to be done about the disability Bill " I've never been over confident that there would be a real challenge to these even with the MPs voting against it .... We will see but I think with these climb downs more MPs may compromise with that weasel of a man

    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’m ok Catherine thank you . Yes I want it to be over too . Starmer needs to go . What a despicable man . If Tory’s were doing this he’d be fighting against it.

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

    I sent him a reply but so far not had a reply, my MP Edward Leigh has sent me a copy of a email he has sent to Liz Kendall but not holding out for anything as this woman is evil to the core in my eyes
