I don't watch much telly, but unfortunately, the little I have viewed, it tends to paint an unsympathetic picture about social security.

You don't know me , so don't you dare say that. I know the environment needs attending I support doing it .in a practical way for this country. We don't get a lot of sun, so solar panels across farm land not helping. Planting trees would help. So get off your high horse. We have worries about pip cuts and I just mentioned where I thought it could be saved.

Sorry I have offended you. It was not my intention .

Solar panels don't need sunlight to produce electricity.

The very small segment on good morning Britain a moment ago was a bit clearer (for once) the chap said those who "can and want" to work and unlike the others made it very clear us disabled are differentiated from that rhetoric we've heard.

I have them on my rented property, but don't see what savings if any as it all goes to the housing association

Well I watched the Chief Secretary to the Treasurey ( I think his name was Darren Jones) just speak.Basically again it only confirms what they are going to do ( reading between the lines).If you read snippets from everywhere Rachel Reeves seems to have taken ideas from the Conservatives,New Zealand,just about everywhere!.They are extremely clever in that I think they may even word it in their green paper that working may be 'Voluntary' amongst vulnerable groups so as to seem they have 'listened' and taken on board the thoughts and feelings of the countries community affected by mental health ( which it seems they are targeting or trying to reach back into work).I think there will be some kind monetary sanction by not complying to 'commitments' as already they have left that door open on u.c system.But they will word it as 'Voluntary".The use of the mental health staff that they mentioned to 'help support' is a drive to save money forcing people too ill into work.I think it appears they will change the pip system definitely and that seems it's going down the physical disability met route as aposed to mental health.Obviouisly this is just what I think and I could be completely wrong

I think this is what’s missing - those that can and want to of course should be supported if they need accommodations etc, that’s fine. It’s such a worry to some of us here like me that want to - but know that they unfortunately can’t (from past experiences) by the way it’s nice to see you back again :)
