March 26th and Green Paper Mega Discussion (ITV leaks, etc)

They’ve cancelled the elections in May round here so I can’t even vote them out. Unfortunately it’s crossed my mind with assisted dying that they’d hurry up and roll it out and make me eligible so I don’t have to put up with the pain of poverty. People with treatable mental illness have opted for it in Canada and I can see why now, no help, no empathy from the wider public and cuts from the government to what keeps me alive. Sick and disabled people shouldn’t have to be thinking like that under a labour government it’s deplorable

could these cuts end up going through the courts?

What about Echr and our human rights. Surely something could be done

My Late father was a Union rep for the GMB, I can hear his reaction now.

The relationship with the Unions has not been good for years, But If they can keep funding Labour on the terms mentioned and lets be blunt this is what parties in power always do they drip feed out the policies so when the actual statement is released 95% of it is already out there.

there are nearly 100 MP's who unless something dramatic changes will be 1 termers.

This is just wrong, Its sadly exactly what I expected from Reeves and Kendall, Who has shocked me is Timms, The guy has always highlighted the extra costs disabled people face.

Said in a previous post the knock on effect disabled people forced into care, when local councils are already near bankrupt. It really is boiling down to the fact they do not believe

people are struggling the way we are. The media now will interview someone who is the stereotype image of what the media created, The realities of being sick/disabled wont even be covered by the Mainstream media. As long as I could vote its been Labour no matter how this unfolds I will NEVER vote for them again if still around

This is terrible news. How soon could all these cuts/reforms come into effect?

i don't think that the government can reduce the amount that current claimments are recieving for lwrca.when they changed esa wrag to the same level as jsa they couldn't reduce current claimments it applyed to new claimments only.they also had to give transitional payments to people who are moving over from esa to uc so they won't be worse off so i don't think they can legally do this.what i think they will do is freeze our payments until it catches up.

So this is good news for people who can work but don't want to work. As long as they are looking for work they won't get.

will they be able to bring this into force straight away? Surely it must be unlawful to just cut the money you’re already getting? I just can’t see how they’ll get away with that? Or I’m I being naive here? Very worrying

is lcwra being removed from contribution style esa also are they means testing pip very scared

they haven't said that they will be taking people off pip straight away,surely it can only be done when you have your review.the tories changed dla to pip to get less people claiming it but we now know it actually increased and a lot of the descriptors were challenged and changed resulting in the dwp having to make back payments to millions.
