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.

If you are on X. , Iain watson-x
It shows the 36 backbench mps supporting the cuts. I haven't got X but managed to look at it ,but unable to share. I noticed mp Mike Tapp was there he was mentioned in the media gushing over starmer

I'm not on X but I reckon someone might share a usable link soon.

I think this might work, well worth a listen. I found it by putting the link into a google search.

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 .

Yes but what conditions you have to be in to be unable to work. They probably raise the bar very high to achieve this

That letter wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, those who can't work deserve to be treated with compassion and respect, it's true.
But the definition of "those who can't work" is what they want to change, moving the goalposts so to speak.

Who do you think you are talking to?
People on here try to help each other, not get lectured.
Don't tell people to stop saying things, there is no guarantee your information is correct.
Just wait and see what happens but certainly don't tell people they shouldn't say things

Grateful that my MP wasn’t on that list gives me a slight glimmer of hope considering the level of poverty where I live. It doesn’t sound too bad on paper but in practice 6 billion worth of cuts isn’t conducive to breaking down the barriers to work so the argument isn’t cohesive, and strikes me as this has come from a whip rather than off their own backs. Very small number of MPs too.
I do see the irony in calling it a ‘moral duty’ or ‘moral mission’ though and then criticising the Tories because that’s the exact language Rishi Sunak was using when he threatened the disabled and sick in 2023.3 -
I just watched GB news with Jacob rees mogg hosting. The one for the cuts was this Labour bloke and the one who said they shouldn't take disabled people money away was former Tory mp John Redwood. The Labour one said its wrong that we are given cash .

The Guardian claim Keir Starmer has just just met with senior Cabinet ministers this evening to discuss PIP.

Just listened to it , shows how heartless these cretins are

Starmer is showing his Marxism in full flow which is sicken to show. https://x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1899213544186355770?t=W3TFXRQRaDBCPPmzOqBlxg&s=19

What has happened to Chris? Why would he leave ? I always enjoyed hearing what he had to say.

Thank you so much.
I really appreciate that.
I have just watched it and it has given me renewed hope.

I have heard the 'those who can't work wont be made to' quite a lot, but I don't find it reassuring at all, as it's someone somewhere who decides whether you're fit for work or not, so genuinely not being fit for work is no guarantee that things will be okay for you, and like you said they like to move the goal posts.

If there's a giant protest people should hold up giant placards, one of Starver, one of Freeze Reeves, and one of Liz Killall, made to look like devils, they could have horns coming out of their heads and glowing red eyes, because they truly are evil monsters.

You are right in your description of them.
