    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 .

    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.

    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 .

    Kendall saying they are talking about giving people 13 weeks run on of there benefits of they loose it as a possible tweak 😂😂 THANKS ALOT ! What difference is that going to make , what do they think is going to happen to us all 🤷 were just going to be ok somehow ? What do they think we are going to do .... I'm just hanging on to logic on all of this but it's getting increasingly hard to believe they simply are just going to do it ..... Countless think tanks and expert's have made it quite clear they expect no more than this to put 12 thousand people in to work , they say there is less than 20 thousand jobs available , they are going to take thousands of pounds a year off of over 3 Hundred and forty thousand people , and there just closing there eyes , putting their fingers in their ears and pretending everything is going to sort itself out 😂 not to mention the DWP is nowhere near being got for purpose now , imagine it with less staff and the chaos this will cause .... I don't really know what to think z I feel like we're screaming out and no-one is listening , there's a reason so many MPs are rebelling , this could have a bigger backlash than the winter fuel payments

    🚨 NEW: The Government will add the following welfare protections to head off the Labour rebellion:

    • PIP, Carer’s Allowance, and care/work support will continue for 13 weeks (not 4) after disqualification
    • Automatic higher Universal Credit for terminally ill

    [@PippaCrerar ]


    This is pathetic

    About 170 MPs, including some loyalists, are understood to be preparing to rebel by either voting against the government on changes to eligibility for Pip payments or abstaining.

    One Labour MP suggested that making small changes to the plans would not be enough to win over sceptics. “Small tweaks here and there won’t be enough. As long as the welfare reforms punish the most vulnerable, they’ll face opposition,” they said.

    A government source suggested the numbers were starting to fall after Kemi Badenoch said the Tories would oppose the plans. “The idea of voting against the government becomes more difficult for people if it means walking through the lobbies with the Tories,” they said.
