So is she independent now?
I thought two other Labour MPs resigned the other day too, in Cheshire but I'm not sure if they stated it was directly because of the cuts. And I think it meant Labour lost control of that council. I might have mixed it up though.
I know it's unlikely but I'd love for all those against the cuts to do the same, ignore their threats and give them a real shake up.

I think that MPs as "voter representative" spacers are outdated - people can easily vote directly for or against laws, for example, via the Internet.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

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

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.

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.
