Good luck at the opticians . Take time to rest afterwards. I think we all need to try and do something nice to take our minds off this for a while. This constant stress isn’t doing any of us any good

Like others on here, all this not knowing what they will do, saying they will amend stuff, then changing their minds, one day good news then next bad. It's really beginning to mess with my head and I thought I was quite strong willed. I had to phone mt doctor this morning as I thought I was having a breakdown last night, can't sleep, eat, or even think clearly at the moment, this government are a disgrace and should be held to account criminally in the future. And as for that Timms bloke, what a complete evil monster he is to walk round a disabled person who'd collapsed with no regard or empathy.

I have written to my mp and stated that I no longer care if he's for or against these cuts, I'll be voting the whole shower of them out next election and I told him how poorly all this has made me, but to my advantage as with any luck I'll now get this dreaded 4 point thing as my condition has gotten worse, mostly due to them. They are evil betond belief and I hope Karma ruins their lives too.

Sir Stephen Timms openly talks about his Christian faith, and he is Labour’s Faith Envoy and a former chair of Christians on the Left.

I want to know what Bible he reads as it clearly states to show compassion towards the afflicted. 

“We were desperate to get over to Timms that the cuts in benefits won’t ‘cure’ disabled people and suddenly make us employable.

“Coupled with the cuts in the Access to Work budget, which helps disabled people to work, it shows that the cuts were never about getting disabled people into work.”

I hope people understand this last part of this cut and paste, Labour knows that these cuts have nothing, NOTHING to do with helping people into work, they're just cuts that's all. What a nasty, despicable, cold and callous government, they make Thatcher look like Mother Theresa.

Someone is lobbying Labour to do all of this, my two cents is on Tony Blair but for a party to do a complete 180 and turn into such dreadful, spiteful people, it just stinks to me.

Likewise, I've had confirmation from two of the top spinal surgeons in the country that nothing more can be done for me to improve the condition, plus I have general failing health due to age and Crohn's. I don't know how DWP can think they are more experienced than these two guys 🤬

..and this is why this whole thing is such a shambles.

They clearly haven't done any research whatsoever (they obviously haven't even bothered to simply Google some of these conditions we're living with).

With that in mind this is obviously (as we have all thought from the start) nothing more than a cost cutting exercise which they have aimed at society's most vulnerable. They won't tax the rich because there will be an outcry (and look at what the farmers are doing).

I can't put the words I just said out loud as I don't want to get kicked off 😉 but anyone else would get hauled over the coals for bullying ill and disabled people.

What does Labour and co think will happen to people who will lose their benefits? Not everyone who is disabled is immobile, people will resort to criminality such as shoplifting to feed themselves and or their loved ones, shoplifting is already on the rise even with Pensioners.

This saga will be a stain on the Labour party and it will take a generation to wash off if it ever does. This is the worst government in my lifetime and Reform/Farage will be even worse but don't worry Immigration will go down, do you think immigration will be the most important thing a disabled person will think about as he or she suffers further cuts to their benefits from Farage backed by Labour and the Telegraph, Sun and Daily Mail?

Don't vanish, don't give up and don't crawl into a corner waving the white flag, be a thorn in their sides, never forget the contempt they showed us, reciprocate it, don't cry, don't waste your tears on people who wouldn't waste theirs on us.

What I meant was to see how much backlash things will get as they need this to pass the vote. They are far worse than the Tory’s imo . Just pure evil and I don’t think this is about saving money. The amount saved would be a tiny amount compared to what they’re spending.
