I actually have to grit my teeth to agree that I agree the Tories weren't the grim reapers this lot are! but I do agree. They came up with a load of rubbish about vouchers, catalogues etc. (again, without thinking it through) but never went so far as to try and rush cuts through Parliament.
I'm also a fan of nature and wildlife etc. and one of the groups is talking about how this "government" has backed down regarding the badger culls.
I therefore also used this as an opportunity to demonstrate that Labour are going for anyone or anything that is vulnerable, including chronically ill and disabled people. I haven't had any responses, but trust me, I won't shut up. :)1 -

Hi @Catherine21 it's completely understandable it'd worry you when you read something like that, especially with the amount of misleading and often quite alarming coverage we've seen. I hope you're doing ok. I've seen you've been championing contacting MP's again which is brilliant and a great place to focus that energy! 💪☺️

Don't apologise, media sites and other clickbait shouldn't put articles like that online, especially when they know vulnerable people will read them, panic, and re-post them again, just what they want to happen!! I blame them entirely for spreading false news and adding to already anxious, worried, even terrified peoples concerns about these 'reforms'. and making our lives even more unbearable. I get why people post these comments, they panic(which is what they want) and we all want answers at present, we'll know a lot more after next week hopefully, until then nobody knows what this governments plans are, doubtless they know either!!

People, you have no right to complain if you don't bother to vote!
Most of this thread is one person's phone notifications from x twit and GB 'news' in oversized text! It's enough to drive anyone barmy 🙄

Hi loucie,
I always got the impression the Tory green paper was a last ditch attempt to win the election and not a serious attempt at stopping pip . It was rushed to the point that it wasn’t even accepted in court . Labour according to Ellen Clifford fought tooth and nail and when they lost made sure their bill is water tight.
They’re spending all this money on net zero but have said they’re not interested in saving wildlife or even swift boxes in new homes . Not only do they want to see us homeless but even birds . Complete bunch of psychopaths. Even Tony Blair saved the foxes fgs . Usually I can find something good in a party as I don’t support one in particular but this lot as vile . God I’d love to see this voted down not only for our sakes but to see the look on their faces .3 -
Hi MW , I can’t even think this is legal on some many points

This is a test of mental endurance, I failed that test on Tuesday, just broke down in anger and tears but don't feel despondent there are people who do care and it's not some BS, it's legitimate care.

I wonder if we will find out anymore information about the proposed changes next week when the first reading of the Welfare Reform Bill takes place?

I’ve had a third reply from Kemis office today. Seems her staff are going through all the emails. She hasn’t said which way she’s voting but I think playing cards close to her chest .

Can the work and pensions committee reply to the reply they received yesterday?

I think if /when this passes it will wipe out pip and lcwra almost completely with no way for the disabled to support themselves, no food, no shelter. With no disability benefits there will effectively be no such thing as disabled people . I can’t see how this is legal . I don’t think it’s legal to leave anyone with no financial support. I’m hoping lawyers are waiting to see the outcome of this before they act .

Labour are clearly a one term government.

Let's hope so they are awful

That’s why they’ve just had a spending spree, to bribe the electorate. All the needed to do was to not scrap the WFA and disability benefits and they wouldn’t be quite so hated .
