AR, I was thrilled to get my bus pass and it has transformed my life! Walking to save bus fares hurt my feet and now there is no stress about keeping the Oyster card topped up.
The people you know who "had cars and driver's licences and drove everywhere, several were still in full time work." probably haven't applied for a 60+bus pass. I pay £10 a year to prove my address and it cost £20 to apply for. I cycle and love having choices about how I travel.
It's unfair that I must wait an additional 7 years to claim my pension though. I think it was assumed that pensioners would rush to claim Pension Credit and of course they didn't.
What changed to make it harder to qualify for a Freedom Pass?

I do wish that you would stop posting images of that woman - when I don't feel very well - it makes me want to throw up !!

I watched Bell being questioned by Whately in parliament and Kendall and Timms sat behind him . Nasty pair , Kendall looks evil and demonic. Something not right with her . If I didn’t know who they were I’d have thought they were Tory’s with the look of hatred on their faces .

While she’s being fought over cuts to MPs departments at the home office and net zero Kendall isn’t fighting for her department as she’s all for cuts . They make me laugh all this money on net zero while there are countries causing more damage. Not only that but they don’t care about animals or wildlife and will be happy to bulldoze over habitat to build houses. I thought saving the planet included wildlife. They’re spending money all over the place and saying austerity is over , it may be for others but it’s not for us . I don’t think the Tory’s were half as bad as this lot . Maybe that’s why they’re in the Labour Party, Tory’s thought them too evil

My reply from kemi , I replied are you voting for or against and how are you advising your cabinet to vote . Also if voting against cuts is it because you think they don’t go far enough. Not expecting another response. I bet she’s getting thousands of emails now

I'm going to email them as well. It's never ending.

I emailed my Labour M.P last night telling that his name is on on the list in favour of the cuts and if he votes for it he WILL be voted out at the next general election.
I don't expect to get a reply from him as he is ignorant and arrogant.

I read that Johnnyy85 on X. Dan Bloom has posted about it. Concerning.

I received the same response not long after regarding my other email to her . I sent the post about Timms walking around a collapsed disabled woman. I think you received a personal message from her but I think now it’s getting closer to the voting she’s getting many more emails.

Its been on the news today that unemployment is at its highest level in a decade so Reeves is in cloud cuckoo land if she thinks this 'pathway to work' is ever going to happen because at this rate her plan will fail miserably as more and more people will need to claim benefits.

The labour MPs voting for these cuts won't change they are so arrogant and full of self importance. And so far up Starmer the Embalmers butt.
They will know it's wrong but their career is more than important. They stupid as they will have a short career due to this attacking sick and disabled shame on them

it's not about the pathway to work and never has been regardless of how they word it ….
it's just a cost cutting exercise but in the long run it will end up costing them more with appeals, tribunals, hospital admissions, care in the community ect ect ect

Yes I agree but Labour have called it 'pathways to work' and Citizens advice have correctly called it 'pathways to poverty'.
This government are completely deluded if they think it will save any money because it will cost them a lot more money in the long run.

"it's just a cost cutting exercise but in the long run it will end up costing them more with appeals, tribunals, hospital admissions, care in the community ect ect ect"
...just as the first failed national reassessment programme did!

luvpink, Pathways is donkeys years old, like from 2005. It has long been part of the 'welfare-to-work' strategy at DWP.

I think I read somewhere it can’t be put up as a money bill
