Link says down for maintenance.
I'll have a look when it's back up.

Taking risks and electoral suicide are not the same thing. Sir Keir is off to a disastrous start and RR is already the ex-chancellor in waiting. They will likely lose an upcoming by-election despite a pretty large majority eight months ago.
More a circus act than Bond villains.

That would rather back up what I'm saying then, wouldn't it? That this is the result of rank incompetence by rank amateurs as opposed to an evil masterplan?

Again - this would indicate KS, RR et al don't even understand their own party or voters let alone anything else.

Not really. Almost by definition, it would never cross their minds how much they were unaware of. And the reasons you'd take a job that would likely involve running the country are obvious.

Liz Kendall new quotes trying to be on the charm offensive and paint herself as understanding
Labour backbenchers can’t be stupid enough to buy this twaddle can they
Found her newest quotes a tad condescending and vomit worthy that she’s painting herself as the good guy but still backs policies that will negatively impact vast majority of us
Woman can’t be role shifted soon enough imo

one thing that’s clear - our community backlash is somewhat hitting (not sure if it’s actually making a mark or we are just having the impact of an annoying fly)
but let’s keep up the pressure
prehaps Gov still don’t respect us or find us annoying but we’ve only been at it a week
Let’s see if opinions shift after 12, 26, 52+ weeks of similar continuous pressure
gov has underestimated stubbornness and obsessiveness of disabled as a group of ppl imo

a possible pip freeze was the least of our worries (don’t get affected by a freeze if you can’t get the award in the first place)
Don’t mistake a plastic twig for an olive branch!

How many people have actually emailed them so far? Do you have an accurate number? That each MP has received? I don't so won't comment any further on that one. But do you imagine Starmer or Reeves and their ilk read their own emails anyway?
Also you might want to avoid using terms like 'doing their bidding'. It's the sort of stuff you might hear on a late night phone-in from a caller who rants about the Illuminati and the New World Order.
I'm going back to bed.
Night.

it’s not just lcwra
Pip criteria change will block many of us successfully claiming
If dwp follow through on push to work (which may trigger coming off uc depending on wage) then pip cuts via criteria change may end up being more problematic then lcwra criteria changes/cuts for some of us
It’s mind boggling both have been put on the table
(And they are targeting pip - the benefit that helps disabled to be in the position to afford to even consider work - as their priority)
Kendall and co still don’t understand why the likes of dla & pip exact and how their existence aids the economy in many ways
The dangers of nasty ppl thinking they are smarter than they actually are 🙄

This is 4 AM and we are discussing during the night… We can't sleep… this is actually a sign we need this help and support… we can't give up… I don't know how I will survive if LCWRA would be cut 😥 I'm barely living with the current amount… can't imagine to have this lowered… I claim for mental health problem but it's so severe that I'm housebound and most of the time I'm in my bed… I don't know what next… I'm a bit lost but also I know I have to fight for my life… for our life… we can't give up… everyone's life is worth much… I'm weak but I won't give up, Liz it won't be so easy with me! ✊

I still think reeves was sent to us by skynet 😂
(Kendall I’m not sure by who…………..those scope members who like watching movies, put your suggestions here)

Time to get reinspired by events in 1997
(Those with good memories - have we seen anything like that since?)

Fine by me.
Sleep well.

Have no idea who Michael is and frankly don't care at this hour.
But, again, sleep well.

Duh 🙄🤣 thank you!

You might want to try. On the plus side, if the PIP reports tonight are true, at least a partial climbdown is likely on Tuesday. That's before we've even really started. Even if you can't sleep, getting off here for a few hours might help. We're unlikely to hear too much more Sunday. I suspect they will wait to assess the mood of MPs Monday. Right now, Liz Kendall probably doesn't know what she will announce this week so there's little to be gained by speculating.
Until then, we could all do worse than take a break, enjoy the sunshine and try and do something enjoyable Sunday.
I do hope you are able to sleep for at least a while.
Night night.

Same here (COPD long covid etc etc), ❤️ . I didn't have my heating on prior to Xmas got pneumonia boxing day / emergency admission to hospital. Subsequently became double pneumonia and 30% loss of kidney function. Was 'reprimanded' for sitting in the cold and I eat every other day. But it's all so short sighted, goodness knows the cost of hospital/gp appts since, medications, 8 x blood tests and now permanently worse health. For the sake of a bit of help, all the shenanigans I've had to go through to get some help has also made my conditions so much worse. I just think it's so sad that thing's can come to this. On the plus side it's my eating day today 😋

I scare myself tbh more than they scare me. That sounds odd I know but I'm guessing 'being put in the preparing for work section means we'd have to accept our commitments for that. I know I will not. What I'm preparing for is going to the loo (health condition) same old nonsense just a different day, so god only knows what I'll get. I'm thinking of ringing the food bank next week to see if can go more often than 6 monthly 🤔 I just will not be bullied by anyone else.

I came to say that, if I could take to the streets I'd most likely be able to work and would want to. My dad used to have a saying, 'the pen is mightier than the sword'. I need to get my thinking cap on, brain fog allowing.
