Here's a new statement from Liz Kendall published today. In it she also says Green Paper will be in Spring just like Darren Jones said earlier.
So what exactly are they bringing forward?

What a complete waste of time. Reeves said she's laying their plans out before Easter, now they're saying it'll be in Spring.
What was the point of that?

she did say to keep within the cap it would of needed immediate cuts which wouldn’t be right . Maybe that’s a good sign ?
1 -
so general consensus it was a waste of time then? This bleeding government I’m sick to the back teeth of them

is that highest tier of PIP or esa/ lcwra ? It’s scary as I have invisible conditions that cannot be treated or cured , just pain killers but no treatment available for fatigue. Don’t know how they’ll cure me when top specialists haven’t found a cure .

It was imo. Reeves was blowing hot air making our she was going to announce something big. But she didn't even turn up and left it to someone else to speak!

@secretsquirrel1 I think they mean LCWRA.

She scared me to absolute death with that article a few days ago in the sun and she didn’t even turn up! Goodness me next time I’m just going to ignore it. Thank you for watching it and reporting back as I’m sure that wasn’t pleasant lol

@Grissom123 I think it's 26 March.

This Loughborough MP speaking now is on our side. I like him

I’m watching - loving Dr Sandher (Loughborough) - he seems to understand. He’s calling out the demonisation of benefit claimants

I did read somewhere the HOL want anyone newly sick to have to engage with them up to two years. After that they wouldn’t need to I guess. If they take away the lcwra and it’s left to job centre staff to decide if a person cannot work that surely will be taken to court . Even Atos have to use some form of medical staff to assess us . I can’t see that working but I’m sure it’s something I’ve read . But it may of been fake news as this awful government have left us to worry.

not been paying much attention due to being scared, but weren’t that whately mp telling them to hurry up and get on with benefit cuts
0 -
has Jeremy Corbyn said anything yet ? I hope he does .
0 -
Yes, he's made a couple of points.
1 -
Not so much unpleasant more mind numbingly boring lol I drifted out a few times so don't take my words as gospel. But Darren Jones and Alison McGovern both said the Green Paper will be in Spring, and in that link I posted Liz Kendall also said this. So I don't know what's supposed to be being brought forward.

hopefully we’ll get more support from MPs once the white papers released . Especially from labour back benchers . They need to stand up to Starmer . Thank you for keeping us updated.

I’m feeling cautiously positive, Labour seem to be more concerned with the causes of ill health and poverty and how to provide appropriate support, break down barriers etc rather than just cutting benefits and stigmatising us
