Yes I emailed Timms nothing, yet I posted the link before of him visiting scope, and listening to them and making out he was supportive of disabled people, He's done Jack **** , he said the dwp needs replacing. Rachel reeves is useless, she needs replacing, can't stand her voice, if she says growth one more time I scream. There all on Facebook including starmer, putting out pictures of him talking to zelensky on zoom trying to be like Churchill, and failing miserably

I think poppy is taking a break from the forum
At the end of the day she is not a paid employee of scope and she has provided help and answers to other members posts from the goodness of her heart
She hasn’t shared much of her personal life and I can’t remember many occasions she has asked other members for help & support in the same way she has given so many of us over the years
If she is stepping back and concentrating in prioritising herself and her family whilst all these chaos is going on then I’m happy she is putting herself first
once things calm down I hope she comes back, if only for daily life chit chats 💖4 -
Honestly I'm scared my enhanced is for autism, mobility is standard even though I struggle to walk, even worse now, with my new conditions

I also have ibs as secondary to my fibromyalgia. Migraine ( another fibromyalgia symptom) also triggers it. Any stress starts it off . Then I had Covid I believe 4 times. Always goes to my stomach which never recovers fully. I take probiotics which I think helps .

I think it will have to happen doctor first do you think you have any traits of anything else ? If you do tell doctor everything over last 30 years till today he may refer you for therapy or mental health team that really would be first port of call I understand not wanting a label I was same for years but yes definitely start with doctor get your therapist to write a letter to take to doctor and go from there p

Hello.
Was just browsing and yeah Labour's really bad Blair tribute act is going to bite them on the Left where the Greens are making headway across the country though primarily in more University oriented places.
Labour are the party for working people but they were the party which cared for the most vulnerable in society.

I still cant fathom a G7 country a permanent member of the UN security council
the UK keeps getting warned about its treatment of disabled people.
this is why various MP's want out of the ECHR, You know its heading there.
I keep hearing social media posts about it being the Green paper and various deals
will be made to water it down, But this level of stress is worse than 2010. Its 100% on Purpose
They bailed on Non **** taxes, Taxing Gambling firms and of course the windfall tax on Energy.
Economists have told her in meetings the lower 50% of the country *all of us
are the ones not only power growth through putting any money back into the Economy
but any cuts would 100% wipe out her plans for Growth unless they rejoin the EU.
The only Glimmer I see in this nightmare even more moderate journalists seem to be reporting Labour MP's are deeply unhappy and the ones who have a Majority they know will be almost certain defeat next time are reporting 1-5 of the people they were voted by are on PIP.
Its like Talking to a brick wall, So wont amend her Fiscal rules but daily they say the Global situation has changed, they want to avoid "chaos" they might want to look at the shambles in America and still try and say her Fiscal rules wont be changed. The Security of being an EU member has gone.

Hi, I did, yes. Funny enough (well, not really funny) my first one was in late December 2020 then another different one in I think February or March 2021. Then a third one, possibly in the summer of 21. I was very unwell after the first two but I was ill anyway so it was hard to know for sure if it was connected. As a nurse, I felt I had to have them, I think it was compulsory at some point to be able to stay in healthcare. I can't really remember I might have just imagined that last bit 🤨🙄

@Catherine21 Can you post a link or tell us what it says about WCA changes? Thanks.

you would think the UN could sanction them in some way . If they don’t have any power what’s the point ?
I read on the guardian online not long ago that reeves doesn’t need to listen to the OBR forecast for the future five years . I don’t understand the full jest of it but he was ex OBR I think1 -
I haven’t even migrated over yet so no idea what will happen. I could have gone over to lcwra years ago as I don’t get SDP so I would actually be better off on lcwra. I’m also more concerned about lcwra as how much could they reduce it by and more importantly will they sanction us is we can’t work

so your not opposed to trying something that you dont know will work one way or the other so why fret over taking another drug or a placebo i could say my strokes were due to not having any covid jabs but were most likely due to my age and working 60 or 70 hours a week

I can’t follow Kendall’s speech on BBC but so far on BBC live reporting:
She says there has been lots of speculation about reforms to social security, and that she wants to reassure the Commons and the public that the government will be coming forward with its proposals imminently.
She says this is to "ensure trust and fairness in the social security system, and to ensure it is there for people who need it now and for years to come".
Trust and fairness? Where? I’ve lost every shred of trust I had, and there wasn’t much to start with!

Oh I'm so sorry you suffer with all that. I think out of all the organs that could be affected, to me, the worse possible is the bowels. I felt really shamed by it, i don't think I do quite the same now but it's still so very limiting. I tried probiotics when I was still working but can't afford them now, tbh they didn't make any difference for me over 4 months and I'd got some that were highly recommended by a specialist IBS clinic i think in Wilmslow plus a professor in gastroenterology at a leading Teaching Hospital in Manchester I wasn't his patient but picked his brain via his secretary. They recommended I think it was hypnotherapy but there's no funding for that where I am. I have ocular migraine where my eye goes all fragmented like I think they call it kaleidoscope vision, it's very strange when it happens as everything i look at looks like its all broken up into bits and i feel i can almost see my eye, my optician chuckles at that one but its true plus j have nuclear sclerosis (basically early cataracts) and corneal dystrophy which I'm told is inherited/genetic but apart from osteoarthritis, I had no real health issues before Covid.
Just saw yesterday that the scientists and Boris etc knew it came from the Wuhan labs in China as early as c Feb 2020 and kept it quiet.

This was the last intervention from the UN and instead of reversing it seems Labour are going further, Kendall Suggesting in the HOC all this was in the manifesto ah yes that's why its takrn months of "planning" for these policies
The same Manifesto that has seem huge policies dropped, the plan to axe the WFP a really vote winner. They stood side by side with WASPI Women then "Sorry not helping"
but the Photo op was done.
The list is endless, now the No 10 spokesperson has said the PM feels its a Moral duty to proceed, that guy lost all moral authority when he dropped the non **** tax changes,
allowing Energy companies to do what they like, and the final insult is picking a fight with the weakest in society because he's lost every other fight with stronger people.
Labour MP's now are at the same Crossroads as the libdems in 2010, If they vote for these cuts people will not forget, they are there to stand for the people who voted for them
NOT to be sheep. I swear its like someone at No 10 is running some experiment to see how far they can push people in making sure its a one term Government, dear lord.
