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

Yes it passed but we can still keep campaigning to reverse it and and between and at general elections, to reverse the changes. And make any govt of the day elderly and disabled friendly.

Remember there were delays, concessions, and the population is rapidly ageing with with more elderly and disabled voters.

NEVER GIVE UP, IF AT FIRST YOU DONT SUCCEED…

Summary

• The government's welfare bill passes by 335 votes to 260 after ministers made last-minute concessions to avoid a possible defeat
• The timing of proposed changes to personal independence payments will be delayed until after November 2026, and the release of a review
• The latest U-turn came when the government saw that defeat was very realistic, writes our political editor Chris Mason
• But some Labour MPs were angry that concessions came too late to be voted on tonight - instead, they will have to be added to the bill at a later stage
• An earlier amendment tabled by Labour MP Rachael Maskell to reject the bill was defeated by 328 votes to 149 votes. Some 42 Labour MPs rebelled against the government by voting for the amendment
• The government breathes a sigh of relief - but this isn't the end of it, writes our political correspondent Alex Forsyth

1. Just after the vote, shadow work and pensions minister Helen Whately asks the Speaker if the bill should still be "rushed through" to be debated next week at committee stage, or be withdrawn by the government entirely.She says the bill was "ripped apart in front of our eyes" this afternoon, calling it a "shambles".The Speaker says scheduling is a matter of the government, not the chair.

it’s not passed, yet. There will be another vote next Wednesday. If the speaker doesn’t designate it as a money bill next week, the Lords will then be able to push for amendments and hold it up. Only when both houses have passed it, can it be signed into law.

I think they still have a blank cheque to do what they want after Timms review on assessments, activities and descriptors. But the bill isn’t final yet. MP’s are seemingly demanding more detail on the review before next weeks third reading and vote.

Still hope the speaker won’t let this sail through as a money bill next week, too. If he doesn’t designate it a money bill, the Lords can put a ton of scrutiny on every line in the bill if they want, and effectively force amendments.

So July 9th next week is when the third reading happens, short debate and then vote.

Yes seemed to go ok, nice assessor, made me at ease, couldn't understand a few questions even though simple questions.
