Upcoming changes to benefits

This is what worried about uc if get moved from legacy to uc after September 2025 will it be under new rules so be reassessed

She definitely needs to be reminded that the most deprived constituencies are overwhelmingly Labour ones. Hammer the poor is rarely a popular policy with poor people, regardless of what a poll in the Daily Mail told them.

Think you might have intended to use someone else's quote there!

They don't care they will multi Millionaires and this is all planned

Oh crashed and burn I hope this is true reading starmer been taking to supreme court over money going abroad or something they can down hard on him if it is true I was happy yesterday fifi bloods came back good but last night she was awful being sick very very restless god nerves on edge waiting for doctor to call going to ask for a lobotomy xx

Please, please don’t apologise! You didn’t say anything wrong at all, and your sense of humour is great ;)

I’m autistic so I struggle to read tone, but I absolutely wasn’t trying to be rude there and I’m so sorry if it came across that way! I’m just so incandescently angry with this government and their spineless MPs (bar the ones who are actually giving an F about our rights to exist.) And I’m tired of mental illnesses being diminished in general. But I know that’s not what you were doing and again I’m so sorry if it came over like I was insinuating you were!

I think a lot of it is also exploitation by the media. I keep seeing articles staying nonsense like “mum of six claims £3k in benefits a month is NOT ENOUGH” when in reality it’s a vulnerable disabled person who is genuinely struggling (and is likely on that much from enhanced PIP, being in a couple, having kids etc.) But the media take advantage of these people who have real concerns and publish them with the intent of making them seem like scroungers wasting hard earned tax. And then folk see these headlines and decide that mindset is true and they’re personally paying us to sit about watching tv all day (which is sometimes how I spend the day, because I’m too fatigued to do anything else or my paranoia is too bad to leave the house, and believe me I’d rather be up and about!)

Sorry for that slightly off topic rant! I also just wanted to say that you have been through so much, and I’m so sorry to hear that. Your experiences and illnesses are valid, and I know that’s a given and also sounds cliched but I feel like sometimes it’s good to be reminded, even if by a stranger, considering everything we’re hearing about ourselves right now. You are stronger than these weak-willed cowardly politicians ever will be! We all are. We should never forget or doubt that.

it’s a rollercoaster Catherine . And they know they’re causing suffering. Psychopaths all of them especially Starmer . Who’s taking Starmer to court ? I haven’t heard anything about that . Who’s fifi ? Glad her bloods came back good . Anything medical is such a worry.

Well I seen hope its true supreme court over connections to EU breaking some brexit rules and not consulting or following laws

I think I’m going to email my MP, but I read last night that he voted for WFA cuts. (Even though there’s a lot of deprivation in my constituency. But who cares about the vulnerable right.)
