Yes I'll re~read it again because my mind is frazzled but it did look like Liz was scrapping It punishing those that can't work and handing it over to those that can.
The reward and punishment abuse narcissistic parents do when playing favouritism with their children kind of toxic game . Do what I say and you will get more. Try out work wouldnt be an option then because being starved to death would force you out. With a vague promise of wouldn't need to be reassessed if it doesn't work out trouble is reassessed for what if they wish to scapegoating LCWRA~make it make sense.

I think these poor excuses for politicans have finally pushed people way to far this time if they do what they are suggesting.
Everyone has their limits and not everyone would just die there could be rampant waves of untreated Mental health rage and waves of crime .
Not even a poor law in place

Are the government handling out Lazarus pills for mental and physical health now - do they think if they cut our money we’ll miraculously all get better and start working for NHS England etc and pledge our allegiance to sir tier and Rach from accounts 🙄

Big push back by Labour MP's against Rachel Reeves's impending, savage disability cuts.
Looks like Reeves is having to row back on the PIP Freeze ☺️

Was the plan the whole time to have something to u-turn on, as in the PIP freeze, so they can say they did something good while they continue to go through with the worse parts of these cuts?

I'm so f**king sick of it , my condition is peaking , if only they knew how much worse this will make people and the problem .... A toast to British politicians , the very worst of us all 🍻

They are using the pip freeze "u turn" as an easy method to fool people into thinking they're not going to bring in cuts. The freeze to pip inflation only added upto £30-£40 Cuts in future 2026 payments. The cuts to LCWRA are far worse it could be upto 34% if not more cuts it could be -£128 a month or if its cut entirely thats the full £416 gone per month! They will change the criteria and force people off LCWRA and PIP!

Maybe its time for disabled people to take to the streets on mass demonstrations against Rachel Rubbish and Starmegeddon's ransacking of the disability benefit system !

Exactly this people,wake up and smell the coffee it's a headline graber, government back down on disable benefit cuts, when the reality is it can push forward,with the charge to who now qualifies for Pip and ESA , as mentions it was always their plan

They think they can do what they like because they are the government so can push legislation through and in that regards make laws and repel them. Most things push through like Theresa mays act on wanting access to everyone personal data that Labour have asked for and Labour put through no idea about that and that's just one of many. They refer the public to be dumb and let the superiors do the important things like ruining the Country.
This particular one they have no choice but to press release because it directly impacts public so no choice.
What Liz Kendall is basically saying in a nutshell is the powers to be do not believe anyone is really disabled or sick and Pip is not difficult to claim and medical experts and assessments do not stop people taking the mickey so now unless you are in a coma you must work and not rely on the state anymore "life on benefits is not allowed" so is say even those in a coma would eventually be at risk of having life machine switched off.
I read her words and unless it's an imposter or made up The State wants to abolish the welfare State regardless of whether or not you are in need. She also goes on to parrot word for word what IDS said years ago and others before her.

I actually don’t know how anyone can get away with claiming PIP if they don’t have a genuine reason to - there really can’t be much money wasted on that or fraud there?!
The whole process is so regimented and undignified etc for genuinely disabled people - I wish I could win the ****ing lottery so I didn’t have to ever endure or claim it.

Of course they were already picking one of at a time over the years anyway but this is more I guess direct we'll as direct as they can be

most disabled people can’t take to the streets that’s why they target us - because we only have a few charities looking out for us.
