Unfortunately i feel the old saying has never been truer -
How can you tell a politcian is lying?
Their lips are moving

Actually the councils requested to postpone them due to them being merged into a mayor. So labour didn't actually force them to do it. For instance East Sussex (tory council) requested to postpone them until the mayor reorganisation is completed. There's 11 councils that requested to postpone them. Main gov didn't actually tell them to do it. They did it of their own accord. The councils have their own rights for the elections

Yet Rayner is acting like a little lap dog to Starzy and nodding in agreement with everything he has to say at PMQT.
She cannot be trusted one bit.
She is as self serving as the rest of the Liebour cabinet and none of them a stuff about us mere mortals.

Also forgot to add the majority of councils that requested to postpone the elections are actually tory councils and not Labour.

Where is your source of evidence for that please?

i
if you look at this link, 6 out of 9 councils that have been granted permission to postpone are tory run while the others no overall control although it says here East Sussex is no overall control but still the tories pretty much still run East Sussex council.
There are several articles on which councils requested it and most of them were tory however not all of them have been granted permission yet

I have been struggling for years with my MH, I have PTSD, Anxiety, depression and emotional dysregulation and panic due to various traumas throughout my life! I have worked until 3yrs ago due to working in a large organisation and what I felt was bullied and traumatic events within my family, as a family member made 2 attempt to end there life. I feel bullied and hated by this goverment and feel your a lesser person due to MH , I didn't ask for the things that happened. I struggle to leave my house, I'm really hoping someone will stand up for people like us. the goverment are belittling MH, I thought there were laws in place to protect all people with disabilities , I will never vote Labour again!! I'm horrified , surely we are being victimised and bullied?

thank you for posting that information. All I’ve heard in msm is labour fiddling elections because of reform. It makes me think ( or just hope) that the benefits reforms are also not as bad as being portrayed. I watched the video as suggested on here on YouTube, the different bias , and he said all savings were from stopping fraud and its in black and white. This was before the leak though . But I’d never heard of the information that he showed .

Yeah theres a lot of misinformation from those articles unfortunately. I always read more into it. I learnt that from my Biology degree, getting reputable sources and making sure your sources are reliable. You can never be too careful on the Internet.
We all just need to wait for the official green paper. The ITV news story about the leak did scare me and made me go numb but I'm trying to ignore it and wait. It's really difficult though, I keep reading all the disablity cuts and yeah I'm worried af. I have serious mental health issues and ended up in mental health hospital again last October. I don't want to be forced to work when I'm not ready. I was working but it was extremely difficult for me, the LCWRA has been a lifeline for me and pip. I keep being in and out of mental health hospitals, it's a bit difficult to work when not even my department in the nhs gave me reasonable adjustments when I worked for them and my manager was horrible.. I couldn't keep taking time off because of multiple mental health crisis.

What the gov have been saying about mental health is disgusting. It's not like we asked to have mental health issues. I didn't ask to be in and out of hospitals for my whole adult life so far (29 and have been in mental health hospitals since I was at uni). The charities won't let the gov get away with this (Sane, Mind etc) There is already backlash from that ITV leak so hopefully things will turn out okay in the end. The charities won't let it happen without a fight and neither will some prominent gov figures. What ever happens will probably be watered down massively.

Please don't get too worried, that kendall woman just admitted on TV they haven't done any risk assessment in regards to these new proposals. Thats breaking tge law right there. That's one legal challenge disability organisations can fight them on in court. Likely there'll be more given the general rushed way they've gone about these changes I'm sure. Reeves is desperate to save money but they haven't bothered to even look at why the Tory green paper failed - they are making all the same mistakes again in their haste to get money.
This is not about helping anyone, it's a cash grab on the vulnerable & disabled. That is why it will fail to become anything other than reeves/kendall's poisoned wishlist - its unlawful.

did you watch the Ellen Clifford zoom ? I didn’t but would like to know what was said .

Just looking at the front pages & the telegraph say at least 80 labour mps looking to revolt about welfare cuts & that response from goverment it was a moral case to lower benefit bill.
Glad to see labour mps not happy but as if labour knows about morals, if they did they wouldn't do it

I didn't no.

I read they’re going after invisible conditions such as fibromyalgia too . I have that and ME. Kendall has no idea how it feels to wake up in pain and exhausted before you’ve even got out of bed.
In regards to MH I think they’ll try with ppl who they consider “ mild “ depression. I get depressed as secondary to my conditions so I know it’s not just “ mild” to us. I don’t think they’re meaning ppl that are more severe then that who have times of being hospitalised etc. I think they’re have this idea that ppl go to their GP , ask for anti depressants and can easily claim PIP , they really don’t have a clue how difficult it is to claim. what Dr or specialist would allow a patient to suffer because of being forced into work . I hope that makes sense and doesn’t offend anyone.

They probably think you can treat fibro with pain killers as they don't understand chronic pain & like @secretsquirrel1 said no idea what its like to start your day at less then zero before you get out of bed.

If only pip was easy to claim. That was so stressful, my assesor lied and wrote the opposite of what i said so at first I didn't get any points but when I did the MR I got full pip after my letter. They should be forced to go through it and see how stressful it is and that it is not easy to claim. I don't know where this came from that pip is easy to claim. It has never been easy and UN have even said the process is horrible

That is for starters. The thing is Starmer was a carer himself as he looked after his now late mum.and brother. You wonder **** why he wants to punished other disabled people. If you want further information google it as it is not as common as Starmer tried to keep it secret.

First assesment i had in person at home said i couldn't do more then 50m, next assessment over the phone said i could do more. I soon rang and wrote asking them how that could be possible. Dont know for definate it worked but got my award the same as the in person. Do another assessment next year filled with dread now
