About the PM's (Sunak's) speech: Stop demonising us

"Continue to clamp down on fraudsters"

(Unless they sit in the House of Lords...)

When are we going to see the pandemic thieves brought to justice exactly? You know the ones who pocketed BILLIONS. Like Mone, the Conservative peer, who has still not been brought to account.

One rule for them, screw everyone else as usual.

^It's all about money at the end of the day. It's OK for them, sitting on their ivory towers, whilst people who need reassurance and support, are living in fear that their support will be taken away from them.

I hope the Tories get kicked out soon.

Try and email Kier Starmer and put what it's like and the fear of pip being taken away , forced to work .

I've done it, if enough people do they might listen.

Hi elizarose I think it's so hard for the family's too ,I'm in my 60s now and still care for my son who is 30 and has paranoid schizophrenia.

Iv done it all my life he was diagnosed at 15 ,we all love him but he as caused a lot of anxiety and chaos in our lives . I am his Appointee so I feel as though there's a lot of responsibility on me to care for him and make sure he receives his pip and ESA . I don't think rishi sunak has any idea what family members and care givers have to go through to care for there loved ones especially with someone with paranoid scitsophrenia. My son can be verbally aggressive and very unpredictable at times , and sometimes this is scary for all of us , but I and my family still care and love him has we know he can't help it has it's part of his condition. pip helps a lot as he can't go on publick transport as he sometimes becomes agitated with noise of other people so the extra money is used for taxis to his appointments . If I cook him a meal he sometimes thinks it's contaminated,so he puts it all in the bin ,also hel only were certain fabrics of clothing so he's needs the extra money to buy these

He likes to make model airplanes and this keeps him calm and stable but it is an expensive hobby .

Rishi sunak and the conservatives have no idea of real life situations

They have no idea how hard it is for the family's and caregivers who put all there time in looking after there mentality I'll lived ones

Just said that Labour will work with local areas to create plans in supporting more disabled people and those with health conditions into work,

Tackle the back log of access to work, and give disabled people to start working without the fear of a immediate benefit reassessment if it doesn't work out, WCA needs to be reformed, or replaced alongside proper plans to support disabled people into work.

That’s under the Tories plans. All it said in the manifesto is what summerlove has stated.
It didn’t mention anything specific about disability benefits.

the issue is the disabled are never offerebd a seat at the table. It’s always able bodied/minded people making decisions on our behalf without consulting us first. It’s so mentally taxing and I’m just more confused than reassured at this point.

I say again, no news is good news in this case. Labour cannot come out in direct support of benefit claimants, the Tories and their presa have ensured that it's just not possible to do that in an election because they have succeeded in demonising us all in the eyes of many swing voters.

A word of extreme caution, I am active on a few forums and I have seen today a HUGE amount of new or anonymous accounts declaring that this silence means that Labour 'will be worse than the Tories' and terrifyingly either suggesting we all vote Tory or Reform. I am DEEPLY suspicious of this activity and the timing of it, I know we are all scared and they may be some who genuinely believe this, but I would ask people to be cautious about jumping on this particular bandwagon. Ths facts are we KNOW what the Tories will do because they've said, (and of course already done, repeatedly) we do NOT KNOW what Labour will do.

For me, Labour cannot do worse to me than the Tories.

It annoys me ,is the media saying the welfare bill is so high and blaming those on sick and disabled. I get so annoyed, do they not think we like being in pain, unable to do things. Mine won't get better it's chronic and one is genetic. Only to get worse. Oh yes I love being like this. What do they think . I used to work until last year.when the job caused one of these. Why pick.on the vunerable. The torys wasted all that money during covid with false bogus contracts . All that money with the non existed Rwanda scheme .HS2 .and have a go at us, belittle us. Make us scared and worried about what's going to happen. There ok because there rich.

I don't think there is any viable option to vote for right now for this election. It's going to be a Labour landslide and the only thing you can do really is protest vote if you don't want Labour.

Spoil your ballot, vote for a small part, vote Reform - any of those is just a protest vote.
