They are all completely out-of-touch with what is happening in the jobs market, especially in regards to AI. The question people in the AI field are trying to resolve is how we support all the people who will lose their jobs to AI. This lot think they're going to get a million disabled people into jobs, while everything else remains rosey.
The political class are focusing on the wrong problem.

Even for Money Bills, the full amendment process and public record keeping still apply. You will still see references to all the possible changes that were considered, even if the Bill is fast-tracked or the Lords have limited power to amend it.

I agree. It's awful to see anybody hurting. 😔 Lets hope there's been some lessons learnt and politicians begin working with the community now 💜

Thanks chiaried ,
Obviously each assessment is individual so just to have a chance of not being constantly assessed would be an improvement.

I think you may be reading into things way too much there @Catherine21
But I do agree seeing anyone crying is horrible to see. I may not agree with some of her practices, but on a human level, I hope she's ok.

Even when a Bill is a Money Bill, it still goes to the House of Lords after passing the Commons. The key difference is that the Lords can suggest changes, but the Commons doesn’t have to accept them. So while the Lords formally receive it, they can’t amend or block it, the final decision rests entirely with the Commons.

If they want to get the benefits bill down, safeguard the permanently incapacitated/disabled and help those who can or could recover into a semblance of normality.
If you want them to recover help them. If the Right think mental illnesses among the youth is a play act or put on then why the hell didn't the Tories do anything about it during the 14 years they were in government?
You'll find that many Reform supporters actually DO care about the disabled and Reform's leadership are at odds with their supporters, this mantra that "mental health is the new bad back" will cost lives and put the safety of the public at risk. That Silver Fox and Andy Cabby on youtube are Reform supporters and they care about the mentally and physically disabled and so do the majority of the commenters on their videos.
Is Mental illness comparable to physical illness? If the mind is gone the body doesn't work, if the body is gone the mind will go. One has a baring on the other, the brain is the computer of the body, computers have malfunctions, viruses, incompatibilities but with Humans we cannot just reset and re-install windows, trauma from such as sexual, emotional and physical abuse can last forever. Ex-Soldiers who witnessed the most unspeakable things live with those memories and people have the damn audacity to tell me it's a joke?
Mods if you could re-word this term as it might make other readers upset then do so. S
***ide is one of the biggest enders of people between the ages of 18-35 in Britain and we have a political establishment who treats it like a cold.1 -
Thank you for your explanation @MW123 - I was just puzzled about the 'pre- commencement requirements' (whatever they were) in a document that had been published today, but that makes sense now.
I agree that the removal of the proposed new PIP 'eligibility' makes it a possibilty that the Bill could now be certified as a money bill. I'm not usually cynical, but the fact that the Gov't had it in writing under the Bill presented yesterday that they expected it to be certified as a money bill, made me wonder if they had already decided to remove Clause 5 about PIP due to the backlash they've had from constituents, disability charities & their own MPs.

I think you need to read an outstanding book written by the fearless and most feared journalist in the UK - Jeremy Paxman - titled with "The Political Animal", which explores the world of politics and politicians. It closely examines the motivations and behaviour of politicians and, most of all, what makes them tick, providing a large number of real scenarios as case in point.
The truth is that politicians in general do not go into politics to serve anyone but themselves, leave alone a community.

Really - even Reeves ?
We don't even know why she was crying
It could have been because she knows that she is going to be signing on soon - or just crocodile tears - because she failed in her job …
