    For me this seems very personal, it's not about saving money, it's a vicious and spiteful attack like Disabled people have personally done something wrong to Liz Kendall.

    I hope there are legal mechanisms for taking legal action against a politician or politicians, I mean personally, as in a class action against one politician for human rights abuses.

    She is a psychopath. Even in the video her smiling is creepy . After starmers u turn on the inquiry into grooming gangs to save himself I hope he has no choice but to u turn on these cuts . He won’t care about throwing Kendall under the bus as he’s already done it to reeves cooper and Philip’s . If I’m up to it tmrw I’m going to email starmer again

    Yes my daughter got upset with me a few weeks ago,she said I'm all doom and gloom and talking about how much my mental Health has degraded over the last year ,I can't believe how much this has affected me mentally,my agoraphobia is 10x worse,I'm now struggling once again with getting into a car,I've done exposure therapy 3 times for this over the last 10 years and was getting a lot better, I'm having panic attacks at home aswell when I'm in the house on my own , I am one who us set to lose all my Income,cbesa,pip and carers allowance,almost 12k a year,it is absolutely terrifying when you still wont be beable to work after they've removed all support, just what are we expected to do?no wonder I'm a nervous wreck and on sleeping tablets.

    Just thought I'd share this as a complaint can be made against a MP or Minster of the Labour Party

    I just saw this article, it makes grim reading i am afraid. It looks like they are determined to carry on.

    It doesn’t surprise me Fuzzy, all we can do is get ready for all the bad news and pray that the MPs are decent and vote it down. I absolute despise Starmer, I actually believed he would be decent and make a difference when he was elected, he must be the biggest snake in the History of British politics. I hope one day he gets to feel the constant anxiety and despair that we are feeling. Nasty piece of work.

    Yeah its not looking good 🙄 it begins Wednesday I think , then we should know by the end of the month how they have gone through and if any amendments will be made .... Be in no doubt whatsoever these reforms are going to get through , we should all resign ourselves to that , What's important now is if they get amended , one things for sure , if they do go through as they are labour are FINISHED

    Labour are finished regardless. Starmer probably has a job lined up in the EU but will the back benchers be clever enough to vote against him to save themselves ?

    I did notice though that when asked about further concessions he didn’t say no , he said they have to get reforms through .

    The government’s welfare plans have to be pushed through, Keir Starmer has said, indicating that there will be no further concessions in the face of a potentially significant Labour rebellion over cuts to disability benefits.

    Yeah I noticed that too , it's strange because the changes don't really affect me until 2028 when the wca gets abolished, I have no pip , so just cbesa and lcwra , so I reckon I'll have one more wca before the changes and that will take me up or past 2028 when I'll need to wrap my head round the pip reforms .... But it has to be said just , I still can't see how they think this will all work 😂 these are plans with absolutely no thought of the chaos they will cause , how can they go through as they are 🤷

    The Sunday times got a headline that Kier Starmer has told MPs there will be no more concessions on welfare reform they will be pushed through. It's behind a paywall so can't see it all

    Thanks for sharing. I'm shocked to read that. I'm sure Ed Milliband was leader, then later in 2015 Jeremy Corbyn. I'm more shocked JC kept her as Shadow Work & Pensions Secretary with those views.

    For Starmer to be as bold as this, he must have the right number of Labour MPs to push it through. News outlets have just been speculating on and amplifying the number of Labour MPs that would vote against it, but I think most of them would either vote for it or abstain. T. Blair, G. Brown, and D. Blunkett and Co. have been working relentlessly behind the scenes from day one to influence Labour MPs, particularly the 243 newbies who care about their new jobs more than anything else.

    Frankly, I'm starting to lose hope on this!
