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

There doesn't seem to be much support from the charities at the moment Chris.

They aren't shouting loud enough, some are not shouting at all.

We need them behind us...so this is very disappointing.

We had a couple of words from James Taylor at scope but that's been it...

Thank God for people like ellen clifford.

The problem is we need at least some public support like the pensioners, although little help that support did in the end! But the public seem to be very much in favour of this, not helped by the Governments gaslighting.

Can I suggest some sort of protest in London!

Why don't we roll down the streets of central London and slow up the traffic in our wheelchairs, like the farmers have done with their tractors!

C'mon whose up for it, no point sitting on our laptops whinging about this, we need to actually do something!!

so they want to save £6b a year when the Tory plan was 1.5-2billion which meant a loss of £400 per month for LCWRA . That was found unlawful so how can they quickly push this through as they’ve apparently stated they will? Surely this still has to go to the House of Lords and probably court not to mention the ECHR ? I read somewhere that there are 9 million unemployed including over 2miliion sick disabled . The fact that they’re concentrating on us instead of the healthy job seekers proves it’s a money saving exercise which the judge said was unlawful if I remember correctly. Hope that all makes sense as my brains in melt down right now .

Unfortunately that is just not practical for a lot of us.

Great in principle but unfortunately many of us can't get to the end of our street or even leave the house, let alone travel hundreds of miles to protest. If I could, I would probably be able to work. Instead I am so scared and don't know what to do.

Then with the greatest of respect we're all f*cked and may as well start getting used to it!

Maybe the Government right, we all need a kick up the ar*se!!

Very sad, good bye everyone, this thread is just full of preachers preaching to the converted!!

It’ll be the backbenchers that lose their seats so they need to grow a back bone and speak up against it, if they lose the whip so be it then Starmer loses his majority.

They were all against the Tories benefit cuts and imagine if this was Sunak announcing these plans it’d be a home run from Starmer and Rayner but suddenly it’s ok when they do it? They need to remember the last election wasnt a victory for labour it was a loss for the Tories and it was only the previous election to that with Johnson that the red wall crumbled in front of our very eyes. It’s not only cruel its politically illiterate they’re biting their nose to spite their face. Even David Cameron had to climb down from welfare cuts and didn’t get his full package through so god knows why a LABOUR government think it’s going to be so easy to whittle away what’s left of the welfare state after 14 years of conservatives.

Until an official announcement is made no one knows but nothing surprises me with this awful government.
