I was going to say, since the media barely seems to cover DWP deaths and protests against the DWP, we would need to do something drastic (nothing illegal of course) so hopefully we will get a lot more coverage in the media. Thousands of people in wheelchairs slowing up traffic in the middle of London is a great start! But there still needs to be more drastic things if more can be done. Hopefully we would be able to make more people understand how vile Labour/the DWP are towards the vulnerable, which could mean more action taken against Labour/the DWP, and less people voting for Labour next GE.

Agreed Ross1975,
We seem to have lost the public before we've even started, with a recent poll I saw on GMB!
So they need to be reminded, how would they feel to have to use a wheelchair all day, to be blind etc, etc,! I know a lot of guys on here have mental health issues, myself included, but any serious protest has got to be from the visible sufferers in our community, that is the only way we are going to pull any public support!
I remember a disabled guy with a speech defect cornering Rees Mogg on his way to a Tory Conference a few years ago, it was incredibly moving and Rees Mogg looked a proper ****! That's what we need more of, because at the moment we're all being painted as 'feeling a bit low'!

Reeves is so narrow minded and stubborn.
She is so smug and callous.

I was reading from the independent and I saw this ditty. It's telling how Starmer is taking advice from a policy adviser for the Tories.
"A report from the influential right-wing Policy Exchange think tank also gives a possible idea of what can be expected, after a former senior special adviser to the prime minister penned his recommendations to make ‘major reforms’ to PIP.
Jean-Andre Prager began his career as a policy advisor for the Conservatives, and became a special advisor to the prime minister in 2018. This means he advised Theresa May and Boris Johnson before being promoted to a senior adviser under Rishi Sunak.
His report recommends “major reform” to PIP, making it a “conditional” benefit for those aged 16 to 30. This means those in this age bracket would be required to look for work or be involved in further education or training, except in exceptional circumstances."

I saw heard something YouTube and it was explained ( don’t know if this is true ) as it still has to have a consultation and go to the vote , and the only thing the person can assume is the government means they maybe freeze pip next year and get money that way as they’re looking for money quickly. That was just his opinion but it does seem that it will take more time than they’d like . Hopefully this is true 🙏🤞

I don't think it should be about age but rather how your disability affects you.
There are so many people in that age bracket who may never be able to work because of their illness/disabilities and the impact it has on their daily lives.

I was just watching a young guy on YouTube posted 4 days ago - ask young men/family's if they'd get conscripted to fight for this country - everyone said no, not for this government!! 🤭 😂
There's also comments on many simmilar videos too, like hundreds of them saying virtually the exact same thing, oh dear! Not to forget when starmer spoke at that university a few weeks back about ai they couldn't even round up enough interested people to form a crowd to hear him speak! It was mostly his own people from his own team in the crowd! And even worse the few who attended legitimately, soon realised he'd no idea what he was talking about ... just reading from a script.
They truthfully are loathed by the vast majority of the public. The elections in May are gonna be a bloodbath...

Ellen Clifford making a presentation today. Found it on Youtube but I do not know who she was presenting to. End of her talk she seems up for the fight against the govenment. We need to find a way of supporting her.

Good for them.
If I were younger I would not fight in a war for Starzy
He could lead by example and go to fight in the war himself and take his son with him.

Letter signed by The 36. Note the reference to people unable to work.

the ones that can’t work must be treated with compassion and respect and a cut in money . Never heard of any of them . The likes of Duane Abbott and Emily Thornberry wouldn’t sign .
