    100% agree and it makes no sense economically either as literally all of my money goes back into the economy whereas if the rich get tax breaks etc it will just go to an offshore account

    I know LBC is not for some but at 6:39 Steve Wright is opposing the benefits cuts and from 7 am Nick will be talking about the benefit cuts

    Can the government make PIP means tested?

    Yes. But it would necessitate new legislation. Similarly, if they decided to make PIP taxable income.

    It's because I was like a bull in a China shop when I joined I take full responsibility I was arguing left right and centre so I understand they check before messages go out it's actually taught Me alot about myself made me reflect on my behaviour I've learnt alot and so much from the group that I would never act that way again wad very defensive and rude I'm embarrassed and really grateful to be apart of this group wouldn't have got through half of it without you guys embarrassing but true

    Been seeing on news tiktok all over that there's a rebellion from mps and public

    Let's please remember that everything currently is just speculation and rumour. Even if someone on Tiktok is saying "this is definitely happening" until there's an official government announcement, it's just a rumour.

    @Catherine21 As you probably know, Labour MPs are being called to Downing Street before the weekend. All of them. I don't think Reeves/Starmer/Kendal thought they'd have to try to convince the backbenchers that the mooted reforms are "moral".
