    You're hilarious.

    What "misinformation" have I "spread" then? Do you even know what you are talking about?

    I said they have frozen benefits in the past.

    And then I said time will tell

    Do tell me what this "misinformation" I have spoke of is?

    Not sure what your problem is pal

    Apparently on gmb , the journalist spoke to mps coming out of the meeting with starmer last night about pip, that no one spoke out about their concerns.

    Wonder if he threatened them with their jobs.

    It still tells Starmer the depth of feelings towards him and Labour . I remember when Labour were canvassing and knocked on my door. I said I couldn’t vote for them as I didn’t trust starmer and he’s against the disabled. One guy said he’s going to help and that his mum is disabled so he wouldn’t work for labour if he thought that they were against us. I wonder what he thinks now ?

    Hi all,

    We understand that tensions are high, as many of us are concerned about the potential changes to the benefit system, particularly for disabled people. We've noticed some comments that contain misinformation or are uncivil, and we will be reaching out to several members today to address this.

    We’ve also observed that there are multiple discussions on this same topic. While it’s an important issue that we want to be discussed openly, it’s equally important that this community remains a safe space for everyone, including those who may want to take a break from the topic.

    With that in mind, we have created one dedicated discussion thread to cover all conversations about the upcoming changes, especially while much of what we know is still speculation. We encourage any new discussions on the same issues to be added to this thread.

    Upcoming changes to benefits.

This discussion has been closed.
