Get your MP to act against cuts

I believe charity begins at home. If we can't look after the most vulnerable in our society, because we are spending billions on a far away war that does not concern us, and splashing billions on economic migrants, then it is no wonder the kitty has run dry to look after our own British people.

You're being short sighted i'm afraid. Do you think that if we don't help Ukraine, HMG will give all that they save to benefit claimants?
There are issues in the world that need dealing with, whether we like it or not. We live in an interconnected world.

The Ukraine War has absolutely nothing to do with us, in fact we are risking WW3 by constantly interfering in a foreign war. If we weren't splaffing out billions on these neocon wars and daily floods of illegal immigrants, we would be able to maintain our current benefit system at decent levels, and be able to reduce our National Debt, that's a win win situation for the British people, and for responsible Governmental fiscal policy.

Come to put my twopennorthworth in, for what it's worth 😌.
The 'West' helping Ukraine is absolutely the right thing to do imo, as if it's not bad enough seeing the slaughter of Ukrainians on our doorstep but to stand by and do nothing isn't an option. And whilst you're perfectly entitled to your opinion I will respectfully, and strongly, disagree. Thank god we 'interfered' in the 30s otherwise we'd all be speaking German now.
Providing support to Ukraine and providing the right support to our vulnerable people are not mutually exclusive - it's all about choices and Labour are clearly making some seriously wrong choices in thinking they can treat the sick and disabled here so shabbily: where there's political will there's a way.

@kitsmum This is the one I used : Ask your MP

@Ranald ,While your point is valid and deserves respect, the big moral question in this debate is whether supporting Ukraine should be prioritised at the cost of stripping vulnerable citizens of their benefits.

I'm sorry to hear this! Is it saying your postcode is invalid?
Edit: I'm now aware there was a server error over the weekend. The page should hopefully be working now, but please do let me know if you get an error again!

Sounds like it’s hit or miss with these MPs, judging by your experience and that of other members. Some of them seem more loyal to Starmer than to their own constituents. However,I’ll continue sending emails, at least for them to keep a log of how many they’ve received since this whole scaremongering act began under the current government.
Thanks for asking about me. As I mentioned in my other posts, I have some blood tests and steroid injections later this evening. Apart from that, it’s pretty much a rest day for me. How about you?

Hi Tori,
Just had an email from our MP he's made space in his diary to see you all in Parliament on 2nd April. He's a liberal, and so far they've been pretty keen to criticise Gov plans. He's a decent bloke so will hopefully be very receptive : )

@Catherine21 just standard steroid injections with local anaesthetic. Haven’t gone that far to win “liquid Gold injections” 🤣

This kind of rhetoric goes back to Cameron and Osborne. Long before Trump told them to spend more on defence. I don't accept that cutting benefits is a direct result of stopping Putin.
