Hi Squirrel 🐿️

I thought you meant the SEND children.

Some of the disabled children will benefit from the scrapping of the two child benefit cap, that's when they bring it about as all they have done is talk about it and postpone what they want to do with it until October. 🙄

As its been pointed out about a 100 babies are born everyday to whom that cap will apply to, so many thousands more will be added to those already impoverished by it, by October. 😔 Isn't it evil.

Talking about being evil Starmer and Co are not letting the disabled children have a decent start in life. They want to withdraw the support for everyone who is disabled, whatever age they are.

Fancy spoiling the life chances of a child by taking away their educational support and putting them in a mainstream school, which is just not suitable. It's along the same lines as withdrawing our support and making us go to the jobcentre as they are doing with us.

They are much more likely to be bullied by other children and be picked out and upset by unsympathetic teachers who can't (or won't) understand the challenges these children have got. 😞

I can just see it, the disabled child grows up to be unable to work, they are summoned to the jobcentre and ends up being sanctioned by a playground bully whose by then is the work coach!

There really is no way to describe how this country is going. We have got to keep fighting to make things better than this to make government realise that we are a force to be reckoned with, that we will keep making their lives more difficult if they persist in keep attacking us. ✊

I never felt this bad under Tory’s and had they even suggested such a thing labour would have voted it down . It’s unbelievable that Labour are this evil. Their only chance is to clear out the front bench and start afresh . Get rid of starmer reeves Kendall at the very leadt

That’s what I read on here , a post from The Times I think . It said they’ll give more time for people losing pip to claim other benefits or make other arrangements. Well I can’t think of any other benefits apart from uc basic . I will also say to them will I be committing an offence if sign as fit for work when I will be unable to engage

Love it! 😆 It suits Loathsome Liz 🤢 down to the ground. I've saved it to put it on a post for X.

Yes, I too will post it on X , I'd post it on FB too but I'm no longer on it, hopefully it might even get back to her to show how much we love her (not).🤣

You're not on, having a pop at teachers. Do you have any idea how complex a classroom becomes when children with SEN aren't properly placed by local authorities and end up in mainstream settings with cuts to teaching assistant numbers? The vast majority of teachers aren't "unsympathetic" they're massively overloaded trying to teach up to 30 kids with hugely differing abilities and difficulties all in one room. You cannot imagine it unless you see what it's like in hundreds of schools up and down the country these days and making generalisations about thousands of otherwise capable teachers is disgusting. They are set up to feel and it's successive governments and their austerity measures that have caused it. That's right, the very same governments that are threatening to slash your benefits. Think about that.

Bare in mind LCW which is the basic rate of Universal Credit, they know full damn well that disabled people who can't work won't work so they'll push them onto LCW and bother them like once a month with this "duty to engage".

IF YOU CAN'T WORK, YOU CAN'T WORK. How many times do we have to say this?

All of this confusion, all the muddying the waters doesn't stop the fact that Labour intend to cut benefits and that Disabled people are treated like garbage in this country.

Sadly, fighting is soul destroying. It comes with the package unfortunately. 📦🤦However this is so well worth fighting for and who can say what can be achieved. We can't know what that is unless we fight to make the opportunity for it to happen though! 😊
