Funny how they think they can do all this to the eldery, disabled & think we will forget by the next G.E but i don't think many will, i never forgave Thatcher for taking my milk as a child, never voted conserative because of it. Stupid i know but its how i feel.

Catherine did you watch Ellen Clifford? I didn’t but what someone who did commented on YouTube is that they’ve threatened any Labour MP with removal of whip if they vote it down. They reckon they can push this through quickly. I’m hoping someone on here can give some insight into what was said and some reassurance as I’m back to last year now.

One issue they never seem to address when it comes to mental health and therapy is the awful state/care some nhs 'day hospitals' provide after an episode. I was due to have CBT therapy to help with my EUPD, an autism group and key worker support to help find work... out of those three I got the CBT (a woman reading off sheets of paper to a group of 7 of us! - and a younger lad who was much more engaging and expressive - wow how helpful! Two completely different styles of teaching CBT techniques...) but was told there's no money for adult autism support so that got dropped and the key worker had 3 sessions with me before deciding I wasn't worth the trouble and said 'we're letting you go...'
Like how is that care in the community? Your supposed to help people to get on in life and become a productive member of society but because I've got serious issues you just wash you hands of me and leave myself and no doubt many others languishing on the state, no support whatso ever?!!😭 mind you my brother had the same key worker years later during an episode and she was completely useless for him too... patronising and uncaring.
The NHS needs major reform, if it was working as intended there wouldn't be as many people on sickness and disability benefits. The idea the benefits system works in tandem with the NHS has much merit - originally thus seemed the plan kendall wanted to go with. This cash grab from Reeves will hurt and kill people - I hope the charities are organised to fight this asap, we need representation AND to have our voices heard!

It's so hard for young people they need support alot of youngsters haven't been given the best start in life don't have family support friends not knowing where to turn open to abuse it was extremely extremely hard for me growing up so understand the darkness I was incredibly shy as well couldn't talk for myself I've learnt to mask over years I seen a clip of a labour mp saying people with down syndrome don't need as much money as they do noting??? I've supported people with down syndrome have many passions love holidays voluntary work so their not allowed to enjoy life if none of the labour back benches say anything they should hold head in shame

it’s the same I’ve found with physiotherapy. First time was for sciatica due to fibromyalgia flare up when pip came in . Left me bedbound twice . And lifetime medication to prevent flare ups. I had to take painkillers to get to my second appointment. Physio said I was better now the exercise worked and discharged me. Ignored me saying it’s the painkillers. Second time was for arthritis in neck causing arm pains. Wait 9 months for appointment. See physio who gave me an exercise which not only made my arm worse but my fibromyalgia which I had to explain what it was. Suddenly he too discharged me and left no letter for my medical notes. He disappeared mysteriously.

The thing is the Tories were aiming to cut 2 billion from the welfare budget which caused outrage and now Labour have decided to cut 6 billion. I really do hope we see mass protests and outrage but being disabled also means logistical issues for lots of people so many won't be able to attend mass protests. I am in a wheelchair and my husband is having an ablation tomorrow, he is my carer and will not be able to lift or do anything physical for the next two weeks. I cannot attend on my own and I think many disabled people will be in the same boat and want to attend but won't be able to.
I think they will do all they can to fast track this through parliament and threaten to remove the whip if any Labour MP votes against it. What with the DWP able to snoop on bank accounts and now this it really does feel Orwellian. 1984 is meant to be a cautionary tale not an instruction manual.

Also apologies for not replying directly to people, I haven't been on Scope very long and don't know how to link people to reply directly. If somebody could let me know how to do it I would be very grateful.
