Upcoming changes to benefits

Which begs the question why you'd take up a job which kind of involves understanding your own party and voters unless just there for power prestige and to open some door and contacts for your own portfolio

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.

You can defend them all you want that's you prerogative if you feel they are nice compassionate people 'misunderstood' fair play. Forgive me and some veterans labour and ex Labour mps that find it cruel in their words.
If they still go ahead cruel in action

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

Btw do you know how many people have emailed them with all the info about how much suffering they are going through even on here? You've heard them here so have they..That's neither incompetence or ignorance. If I was bombarded with those kind of emails I wouldn't be able to say well I went ahead because I didn't know or I guess I'm just incompetent.
I think they have enough ppl to back them up on these cuts as it is without the disabled and long-term sick doing their bidding too.

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! ✊

IIlluminati you mean conspiracy theorist? no never been into conspiracy. I just know ppl who lack empathy when I see them and quite frankly they'd have to be living on the moon to not understand the consequences of major cuts to health benefits .
No I don't know exact number but as one Labour mp said its the equivalent to a bomb going off in their inbox so I'm sure they will have informed the Labour leader like most are in regards to cuts and the impacts.
Goodnight your either naive or a bootlicker for those who lack empathy but have prestige in your eyes.
Either way I would prefer you not addressing my post again cos I feel annoyed by you.

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

Fine by me.
Sleep well.

Yeah not quite as spiteful as Michael put you down as incredibly naive which isn't a bad in and of itself
Night

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

Yeah this hour can't sleep wonder why probably because I'm feeling secure that the green paper will increase our living standards and bring security and a rainbow birds chirping blue skies

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 😋
