    It's all one gang. The Labourites are just finishing what the Conservatives started.

    Farage popularity just increased and Starmers decreased again.

    Reeves say's she's talking about the winter fuel allowance, but my gut feeling is, she won't give in. She is the problem on many factor's in the cuts.

    Hi all

    Looking at the benefits and work site, it seems more and more people are having paper based successful claims.

    I am hoping that mine will be paper based when the get round to it.

    I think that our situation has blown up way beyond WFA and the child benefit cap. From what I've read disabled people and DPOs and many more have done a great job of getting MPs informed before the vote.

    The reaction from MPs is of disgust that this is happening to the Labour Party and saying that the leadership should not be pushing these poisonous reforms on them. Many are wondering what on earth they came into politics for if they are expected to back something as damaging as this to vulnerable claiments and the reputation of the Labour Party.

    They say that the rest of what they are trying to do in government is being overshadowed by the welfare cuts. Especially as they are very unhappy about how they have been mislead by the leadership and expected to vote with so little correct information about it and months before the impact assessment from the OBR which is due in October.

    We have been ignored for years and have got used to this situation. The governments of the past took our support off us a bit at a time. This one has taken it all in one go so has made a big difference to how seriously it's being taken. Plus that the government is a Labour one now who are not supposed to back deeply regressive polices like this, turning its back on it's voters.

    Only the mobility component of PIP has not been mentioned and in the latest of three emails to my MP (Although the Conservatives are not our friend he's actually sent me some decent replies! 😮) I have pointed out that once our daily living disappears, the DWP will soon question the eligibility to the mobility, so every bit of our support will go. 😡

    I could be wrong but I think that we have got more to be optimistic about than we know. 👍

    Just read an article in the mirror , up to 170 MPs in revolt , but starmer says no way he's backing down .... To be honest I'm not taking my own advice in the slightest really am I 😂 I always advise not to look to much into everything until you have a good idea of things , so many of us on here hanging on every single article and tit bit we read or hear .... One day we read something and it gives us hope , the next one bad sentence and the whole mood here changes .... Just shows how the media influences our lives .... It's so hard to ignore though , where ever you look it's there .... Just messes with people health on a dangerous level , wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone in the world just boycotted any form of media and there was no use for it and it collapsed....I just got this horrible feeling that that piggy faced disgusting geezer will get his way , I think winter fuel and child cap will really play apart .... Although I may well be underestimaing how many people complained to them on the doors at the locals 🤷....it was all about winter fuel just after but I must admit I see more and more MPs citing benefit cuts as a real problem .... Starmer is a dictator of the highest order .... I think it goes under the radar a little about how much of one he actually is , I despise the man

    Starmer is evil and is hell-bent on cutting benefits, and Reeves is scared of the Treasury for fear of risking to lose her job for failing to please it at our expense.

    Starmer, Reeves, Kendall, and Timms are morally bankrupt clowns.

    Agree! I'm just turned 64 so overturning the WFP does not affect me at this stage (still have 3 more years to state pension) 🤬. Child poverty does not affect me either as my children are all grown up. Yet I am in the process of awaiting a WCA with a view to LCWRA and possibly PIP if I go down that route. So going back on these other two issues does not help everyone that is sick/disabled. Bad enough they keep putting state pension age up but to be further discriminated against because I'm not over 66/67 or I have multiple children is taking the piddle. So no, I am not happy as we are not being treated equally.

    So what do you A_Z1961 and secretsquirrel1 suggest, someone goes without while you keeps yours, very selfish attitude you have there. We all need to win, but according to you we shouldn't as long as you're alright. This discussion is going the wrong way in my opinion.
