Starmer is forgetting that there are local elections coming up for people to say that there is no place for dictator here in the UK. This will be his fall.from grace.

it’s a weird feeling, it’s like they have an agenda to wreck the country. He makes my skin crawl. I’ve yet to hear anyone either in person or online YouTube etc say a good word about him . Even MPs or governments that you don’t like all their beliefs I can still like them but disagree with them. I just can’t find anything I like or trust about him or his front bench.

didn’t he cancel certain elections ? He’s in for a big surprise then if any elections happen.

Chris I will be there with you. I'm not taking this lying down. Enough is enough.
They've pushed us all too far imo.

Some local elections are cancelled due to the councils agreeing to suspend them due to the county council's being merged into a mayor like where I live. They had a choice, Starmer didn't force them to suspend. Not every council has suspended them. My council requested to suspend the local elections for 3 years due to the reorganisation. Which is **** and no one agrees with them doing it.

People will remember if the local elections are held in this or in 2026 BTW

thank you for explaining that for me . It’s what I read on msm which actually gives me hope that just maybe their benefit reforms won’t be as bad as the msm are saying. I did watch the video regarding benefits reform on YouTube the different bias and he said savings are coming completely from stopping fraud . Though that was before the green paper leak

I’m loving that John McDonnell is speaking out, but about 10 years ago he was my constituent (I moved area) and needed him for help and he was all talk and no action so I was left to suffer, I hope he follows through this time
If these changes go through, and labour aren’t voted in, in 2029 I can’t see any party reversing the wealth budget as not much if anything gets reversed imo

can they be delayed through parliament courts etc for that long ? Especially if it needs to go to the ECHR ? Hopefully they’ll be out before then

What did Ellen Clifford have to say today on these cuts, wasn't she on Zoom or something earlier today? I'm sick of all the media slagging us off, never a nice word, empathy, or saying isn't it wrong your picking on defenceless sick/disabled people? When are these so called charities that are supposed to be on our side going to be on tv, radio, social media expressing their disgust at these horrific changes. By mistake this morning I turned my tv on not realising it was on BBC1 on that politics show with Laura Kuensberg, what a vile person she is, kept asking over and over again to defence minister Pat Mcfadden if he thinks it's right someone on sickness benefits can claim £400 a month more than someone looking for work!! Her tone was disgusting like we're dog poo on bottom of her shoes, the only poo I saw was coming out her gob.

I'm sure they'll get a wake up call come this years local elections in May. Much of what they've done so far hasn't been popular & no one is praising Starmer in particular. I've seen some comments saying he will be crossed out by his party within the year. The issue is, will it cause them to correct course or just keep storming ahead with these dangerous policies.
I just hope disability charities and organisations get together to fight this. The UK is no place for a dictatorship. I thought Johnson's government was the absolute bottom of the barrel... yet we've plummed to new depths under this... whatever this is governing us now? A travelling circus, freakshow? Who knows...

I Really think your Assessment will be complete Long before any proposed changes :-),

I think they’ll oust starmer. They must know their gravy train over at next election with him . I listened to Angela Rayner ages ago on bbc talking about disabled and she seemed sympathetic.

I’ve been looking online and couldn’t find anything. I’d love to know too

Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are two MP's I respect, they have principles whether people agree with them or not, I'm not really political but recently this conservative aligned agenda painting disabled as benefit scroungers really got under my skin, there are people in society who need our support, there are people who need that safety net of welfare due to being incapacitated with a view to recovery (This is me basically), then there are permanently disabled people who should always receive help, the cost is irrelevant as a human life is worth more than money to me.
What I see is an agenda, a narrative to paint the truly vulnerable as flotsam and that's my line in the sand and it won't stop at disabled people, it will be the elderly hit harder next if Starmer gets his way.
Starmer doesn't have any principles and his politics changes dependent on what day it is.

Jeremy is my MP . I wrote to him , reeves , Kendall , Timms and Starmer . Starmer replied the generic helping ppl into work etc , when I replied asking about us that can’t work he ignored it . I told them all they are losing a lot of votes if they continue with the planned cuts. The other 3 ignored me . Jeremy replied offering his full backing to us as expected of Jeremy who as you said does stand by his principles.

Angela's mother had bipolar and she was her carer growing up. So she understands mental health and stuff. She's had a pretty tough life, I think her father was an alcoholic and also didn't work.

Yes but high office requires changes in people, ones that go against their lived experiences. I wouldn't have any more hope in her than Starmer. Just look at the compromises she has had to make thus far up the greasy pole.

she mentioned being her mums carer and also having a disabled son. If they got rid of Starmer and replaced him with Rayner we may stand a chance . She was talking on bbc radio with a disabled lady and came across very well. She made it clear that when they talk about getting pol into work they mean those who can . And the ones who can’t should have a good standard of living.

Except Liebour have denied people from certain areas where they know they will get ousted, the democratic right to vote.
