You're right. Zest for living life as well as we're able has been drained from us. I can't imagine living into advanced old age constant benefit reforms.

The Work and Pensions Secretary is expected to deliver a statement in the House of Commons just after 12.30pm - although it could be a bit later than that if there are any urgent questions granted beforehand by Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

"In general today, expect Liz Kendallto try to sound more upbeat - carrot as well as stick. She’s won a tussleto get £1bn of the money that’s being saved in this package reinvestedinto schemes to encourage people into work, and I’d expect her to spend time using that to reassure anxious Labour MPs. "
They're at it again - linking PIP to work

Same here. The thought of growing much older terrifies me. I'm exhausted and this is only gonna get worse. The Tories want at least double the cuts.

Look at Germany or Italy - it doesn't matter who won in what proportion and what coalition - the general political vector remains unchanged.

@Zipz Aaww, Zest, lovely word, not heard that for a long time. Realised not felt it either for a long time, 5 years in November. I'm going to challenge myself - today of all days - to start feeling Zest again! Don't know the how bit yet lol. I expect we're possibly going to have one hell of a fight to put up but I am going to summon up something in me to grasp that, but a bit of Zest would help balance it all.

but what struck me is Ellen Clifford didn’t appear too concerned. Now it was late and I’m stressed but I think she said she feels better after listening to Nick ? Who’s Nick ?

The BBC are working hard for the gov this morning.
They've got doctors claiming sick notes are too easily attained and most people should be working.
They've got business owners claiming their own mental health problems prove a lot more people should be working.
They've got their senior political figures putting out charges and numbers that prove the gov have to do this.
And the rolling coverage is leaks like sieve ahead of the paper.

no way the above has not played a major part in Starmers attack on the neediest. I always sensed it was coming!

hope so Catherine. We will know soon enough. I watch a short interview with Ellen Clifford last night on YouTube . She didn’t seem too concerned. I'm not really knowledgeable of her so maybe she’s that way inclined.
