They get £350 a day ,it's disgusting. It needs challenging plus today is when dwp going to look at accounts for fraud. It was gb news .

DWP already have powers to look at bank accounts, whether due to suspected fraud or during a Universal Credit check.

Apparently they want to fasttrack the benefit reforms. They can't, as there is a lengthy process to changing benefits.
They have to go through the proper channels.

No. What happened last week sent a message to the DWP and the government that they are NOT above the law and they can't do what they like and put disabled people's wellbeing in jeopardy.
There is a lengthy process to changing benefit,which will take a very long time.

This is the big issue, starmer said he was going to be ruthless with cuts, day afterthought court case. What happened to we will treat disabled people with dignity. Liar.

The lords are a curse on the British tax payer and I fail to see any reason why we need them, out of all of the 809 of them sitting they are being paid a fortune and 405 are from labour! (The rest from other parties) so remember that when you vote cause almost all of the labour MPs support this benefit cut!.
For me I dont see a single reason why we need any lords, the changes to laws and benefits SHOULD be conducted via the lower house! The lords seem to be a 'bolt on' to any decision the government makes so IF the MPs at the lower house reject it the government uses the lords as another means to be able to throw the gauntlet again giving the goverment another chance to get the laws passed.
As someone who was a labour supporter but since starmer took over i'm now "On the fence" and wont support labour anymore due to issues like this and the handling of the riots (2 tier keir) and the disgusting double standards of the grooming episode and the disgusting handling of the 'rudakubana' case, just HOW BAD can a prime minister get before he quits.
labour are NOT the party they once were as is also the tories….2 -
6000... 16000... and of course they forgot about inflation and the cost of living for the disabled?
Less than 100000 is no longer considered impressive money. Look at the cost of houses.1 -

Do you think it will be any good emailing her. What about the recent high court ruling ?

I’ll second this. I looked on Reddit which is hit and miss with comments about people on benefits some can be quite cruel but this time every single one of them was on the side of the people on benefits. In a warped way it’s bringing people together in a hatred for the government cos they’ve peed off nearly every one

Don't new plans to reform benefits for the disabled have to go through parliament before anything happens and maybe back benchers etc may be against it in a vote etc. As you say these things don't happen straight away

There is a lot that has to be done legislatively and also debated in parliament before any major changes.
1 -
I'm not an expert or anything, but from what I understand, any big new changes will require legislation and debates in Parliament etc. Big changes can't be done quickly.
All the rags and even Rachel Reeves use wording to make it sound like changes will happen immediately or be rushed through, but the truth is they can't rush anything through, especially after Ellen Clifford won her court case against them. They have to go through lengthy processes. Any changes we do see are probably a long way off.

Thanks, I've seen on news also that there's a lot of ministers uncomfortable with it as when they see the political side they ok with it but the humane side seeing the worry and struggle people are experiencing they change mind
