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

I need a break too , we all do . Let’s face it this has been a year of this now since Sunak and Mel stride . Then a brief period when we thought we were safe until Starmer made his intentions clear by not making his intentions clear so we just second guessed everything. I really pray they lose tmrw and if the back benches had any sense they’d vote down just to get rid of starmer

Hi everyone. I have been following this link and feel that in addition to our contacting our own MPs it might send a loud message if we emailed every MP. Especially as many of us have MPs who will support this bill tomorrow. I found a legitimate web site which lists every MP including email contacts:

https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/freedom-of-information/information-we-already-publish/house-of-commons-publication-scheme/members-and-members-staff/parliamentary-contact-details-for-mps/

This appears to be a government website and I feel this issue is urgent enough for people to send polite emails to everyone with a vote on this.

Anyone clicking on the above link will find a .csv type file which can be downloaded. It can be opened as a spreadsheet in excel or numbers or similar program. I selected the cells containing email addresses and pasted them into the my email "to" . There are over 6 hundred emails which will probably exceed recipient limits but even sending batches would be good if enough people do so.

I am including a letter template that I used, if anyone is interested.

I know this is very late in the day but anyone more rebel votes that can be recruited are worth having.

Good luck everyone.

I watched an interview this morning with a Tory I think Danny Kruger who said they want to stop young people claiming for MH instead of older people with physical conditions like labours doing . I could be wrong due to my brain fog but I’m sure it was Kruger

I'm a loner, a complete loner, used to have friends but pushed them all away, locked myself away from the world long before Covid and it's sad I know, it's weak to say but just thank you to some people here.

Words do help and it's all of you which made me look at things less insular.

Thank you for thatvMW. I wonder if it would be useful if I emailed Jeremy Corbyn to ask him if ME or fibromyalgia could come under severe . Or did your mp know these details as she’s Labour ?

Well, I sent out 651 emails in 7 batches - I don't feel it'll make a difference especially this close to the vote - it's so hard to tackle anything at all. At least I feel better than if I just tackled my MP - who didn't respond when I contacted before

On the front page of the telegraph it says reform are now expected to vote against the bill .

Thank you for the update @MW123 - she genuinely seems to be acting as a MP should by listening to her constituents, & there's hope that you'll have a voice in 'Timms tinkering' with the PIP assessment.

I've just been busy emailing a response to the Green Paper in my own words rather than replying to the consultation itself, & asked questions rather than answering theirs. Just got it in by the skin of my teeth! I did question the use of the word 'constantly' with the severe conditions criteria, as promised @secretsquirrel1

It's been a busy day with looking after my son's dog, then having a great chat (2 hour long as usual) with poppy123456, which cheered me up from thinking about these dratted reforms, tho we did talk about them!
