I don’t know what is going to happen in the autumn budget, I’m as worried as anyone about it, but the more I see of Stephen Timms I realise he’s a good guy who really fights for disabled people. Obviously he can’t make all the decisions himself, I’d feel more confident if he did, he’s a good man. I was heartbroken to hear he’d been stabbed by a constituent many years ago, he’s lucky to be alive. So I hope people never talk to him aggressively, in person or in writing, no matter how passionate they may be about something. He’s a Christian with good morals and many in his own area have said he’s always fighting for them. Here’s a video you may want to watch:

    He's been to visit Scope HQ already and apparently really seemed to listen and wanted to learn more. 😊 Though I don't envy him, he's got a very difficult job and I know whatever they decide, they wont be able to please everyone.

    It's taken a lot of practice and mindfulness, but it's possible to get that anxiety at bay! One question I always try to ask myself is "yes, this makes me nervous, but can I do anything to change it?"
    If the answer is no, then I try to think about other things that I can change. Even if it's something silly like doing some hoovering.

    If the answer is yes, then I'll do something to change the situation and the anxiety goes away. 😊

    When you're already an anxious person, times like these really don't help! But you're right about changing the mindset, it IS possible with a lot of work and practice. I'd not be able to do this job if I hadn't really worked on my anxiety over the past few years and we're all here to support you. 😊
