Greetings, @MW123 ,
Your kind reply means so much to me regarding my massive spiel.
It took many weeks of ranting, saving, honing and pulling out the offensive stuff and making it civil for spreadsheet-cell-brained government types who don't care about us anyway, but it had to be "said".
I invite all to check through my rantings if they have weeks to read it - and share it, if anyone else is brave enough to wade through it all.
Solidarity, My Dear Friends.
And respects, always,
Tumble

She was a whip, but will revert back to lobby fodder and still be a Labour

No, she's still a Labour MP. She has resigned as a whip and not as an MP.

Sh3 will still be a Labour MP, just not a government whip.

I think that MPs as "voter representative" spacers are outdated - people can easily vote directly for or against laws, for example, via the Internet.

How can they predict the uplift in UC and PIP rates for the next 5 years ?

She resigned as a Government Whip but she hasn't resigned the Whip. She's still a Labour MP. However, she may well lose the Whip (and sit as an Independent) following the Second Reading of the Bill on 1 July.

Now the Bill has had its First Reading, I think its worthwhile completing the Green Paper questionaire again, focussing on what is now known from the Bill's publication and those areas that have been left deliberately grey or ommitted to be dealt with under future legislation.
With reference to UC LCWRA (severe disability group) the emphasis on NHS diagnoses is of concern to many who "only" have autism or MH issues but others as well. I also wonder about people who have been diagnosed outside the UK. An increasing number of people are being diagnosed outside the NHS for reasons I don't have to spell out.

What's this now ? You have more chance of lcwra if you have a diagnosis ?
0 -
Obviously, people have a better chance of any benefit with a diagnosis.
This isn't just LCWRA. It's to do with the LWCRA claimants whom it is said will never face reassessment because they are severely disabled for life. Read the Bill. Complete the Green Paper

That image ought to be sent as an attachment to future emails.

I would put them on all the billboards aroud the UK.
Once in power they change their tune, greed and power and feel they are to scared to speak up with starmer around.

Yes. It will be interesting to watch junior members of the government between now and the Second Reading and how many Labour MPs will lose the Party Whip after the vote.

Lying or incompetence by a Liebour MP serving as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport since 2024. Lisa Nandy. What a bunch of …

Labour is both incompetent and dishonest. Unfortunately, most people now think of PIP as an out of work benefit. It's just so wrong. PIP helps people in education, finding appropriate work, and keeping it.

Thanks all for the explanation on Vicky Foxcroft, but now I have another question.
Are the two Cheshire councillors that resigned from the party now independent then? And will they still get a vote on the cuts?
Just trying to get my head around it!

it’s only MPs who vote in the House of Commons … I believe.

Only MPs in the house will be able to vote on the subject,everything else is local.
