Scope's reply to the governments planned concessions to the green paper.

Funding alone isnt enough. NHS mental health services are institutionally abusive and actively cause harm to mad people. This is why many young people do not engage, whether by choice or otherwise.

its not just poverty. they're more likely to die.

They seem willing to implode the Labour Party to get this rotten bill pushed through. It’s starting to look quite bizarre.

Kendall has said three times now, she is trying to address the incapacity benefit high take up in previous manufacturing areas (indicating she thinks cases are not genuine), she also responded to an MP saying she doesnt believe luck is involved in becoming disabled, but actually they need to support these areas economically with high claimant rates, cant believe what I am watching.

It looks like everyone who is being reassessed from November 2026 will be assessed under the 4 point descriptor. So everyone will be treated the same new/existing claimants. I believe this Green Paper consultation has been a load of nonsense. The government have done this so it looks like they are doing the right thing by disabled people.

if rebels don’t stop this bill, I don’t think Liebour will get more than 200 seats in the next election.

They are imploding

We need to campaign write to MPs re 4 pint reassessment, and challenge it in the courts if at all possible.

I am going to take advice from Leeds Welfare Rights, and CAB Mind Legal unit and 5 other pro bono legal firms.

Kendall is all over the place, presenting all the smoke and mirrors available to her.

She's not actively listening. She's hearing trigger words, and repeating points of rhetoric based on those words.

The general consensus of those speaking out is: Pull this abberation of a bill, and come back with a properly consulted version.

They are desperate to get this through as a money bill to avoid appropriate scrutiny. Once it is in they can 'amend' it at will without challenge.

These MPs are being gaslit.

Yes have you written emailed your MP

Even at this late stage.

It is still worth doing - to get even more MPs to vote against the bill.

Sky News:-

Could claimants move between tiers?

But Labour's Vicky Foxcroft - who quit as a government whip over the reforms - asks: "If claimants request a reassessment because of worsening health conditions, will they be assessed on the current criteria or new eligibility criteria?"

Kendall says existing claimants will "remain under the new rules unless they request a reassessment until November 2026".

At that point onwards, "there will be that four-point minimum", she adds.

so they’ve been messed around d then. I wonder how the rebels are gonna to react
