That well known Trump friend, Farage claims to be dropping the Reform party from his portfolio !!
He owns 60% of shares in the party worth millions of £'s
This is after dropping the UKIP and Brexit Party names - clearly he is a bit confused and mixed up because he can't decide what to do ….But whatever he does next - it's going to be extremely profitable for his smug face..1 -
Omg I thought he was in his 70s he's 60 !!! Sorry I know that's very catty but 60 whoa !!

Stephen Timms spoke today about the government's plans for Universal Credit migration. Sounds like wishful thinking tbh.
I'm afraid I just blue myself.

So when moved onto uc they want people to try work for 6 months and if doesn't work out they say you can go back on health benefit by taking out substantial risk will push thousands into work they said only applys in exceptional circumstances and seems to be aiming at MH unless severe that's what I've read seems parts of it already happening

I had to comment, was going to give myself a break but this is so stupid. The dwp can't cope with the small managed migration so how can they cope with all this rush by Dec next year. They asking people for fit notes which is wrong. The back log for my Esa 50 form is 11 months . The message is that they will contact you. And now they doing rushing uc . Why don't they put it back until 28. Timms is useless, he admits its flawed but he not standing up for the disabled. Surely again the disability organisation should put forward a halt until its fixed. They be opening up the workhouses next.

It's the unknown with them, they don't think things through and go on half measures. Not thinking or caring how it will impact people. Look at the pensioners, Farmers, and students.

To my point of view , he wants us back in the EU . He wants us to rely on foreign imports for food. That's why he's bankrupting the farmers. I don't remember the labour government before Blair. But he's going down the same path I was told.

Why don't they just concentrate on getting one thing finished before starting another. So many people waiting still to move from DLA to PIP and I imagine most of those would be better off on PIP.

They should do , leave moving esa to UC back to 28 ,29. They still sending esa renewal forms out . Yet I'm waiting 11 months for mine to be done. No wonder they make mistakes . They aren't trained they have no feelings and they will not understand our complex health conditions. Just use a checklist .

Yes thier really ramping up the pressure so hard it to be I know I shouldn't engage I feel more oppressed vulnerable under labour never thought that would be possible me personally I cannot see any good they have done

it's the DWP who have never ONCE hit a target ever, who haven't managed to complete DLA to PIP in 10 years!
there's 943,000 approx to move across that's a crazy 2,000 ish a day, it's absolutely not going to happen in even double that ridiculous timeframe.
from past dwp bull in a china shop behaviour this is what will happen.
in February they'll post out 63,000 letters, by March they'll have ballsed up at least 40% of them, in March they'll post out a further 63,000 and by April they will have caused such a backlog and loss of staff through that absolutely mad target that it will be paused for months or booted back to 2028.

I defended him originally but I now believe as others have said he's just another waste of space.
