This week they have designated a protest group as ‘terrorists’, and passed a second reading of a Bill to cut 2.5K a year disability support, for UC new claimants from April. How are these things ‘positives’???

Do, you couldn't find anything positive? What about 4000 new nursery places & bringing back Sure Start as family hubs? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And waiting times in the NHS are going down! I was referred for a a scan and got an appointment the next day! Following that I saw consultant within 4 weeks, I was expecting to wait for months!

Bringing back Sure Start is great. I said as much some time ago on a similar post.

It's only been a year. I don't understand why people think everything has to be squeezed into the first year or declared up front with checking whether it can be funded.

The brutal attack on disabled people was a political choice that I, and many other disabled people are still reeling from. Supporting Israel whilst they are grabbing land and indiscriminately murdering tens of thousands of people is another political choice.

" brutal attack? inflammatory language. You should welcome the change in the proposed bill then & the fact that the Timms review involving disability orgs will be taking place. As for squeezing in Israel into the comment. Direct it to Trump & Netanyhu!

The Timms Review just created its T&Cs without disabled advocates involved. Disabled Charity went to a meeting and that part was done before they got there. It's still being done without us. #takingthepip

I am a disabled person who has been in bits for months and is still reeling whilst simultaneously having to deal with ‘liberals’ who give mine and others’ realities a side swipe. And Starmer IS supporting Israel. I do not conflate Jews, Zionism or Israel; I am restating ‘his’ comments.

I'm sorry if you've been struggling with this. I saw a lot of uninformed info in our media that wasn't helpful to people & frankly probably increased anxiety. I'm pleased the govt has listened to MPs & changed. It's better than just ignoring feedback & ploughing on. That's how a govt should work.

I read the Green Paper when it was published in March It explicitly stated that there was to be NO consultation on PIP & UC. Disability groups have been campaigning for months to change this, so the PIP climbdown has brought relief But UC cuts to new disabled claimants (from April) still stands

And the Bill allows for new UC claimants who are unable to work (from April) a 2.5K cut in income. That is ‘not’ something I celebrate.

I could only find the £420 boost to UC from April 25. Do you have a link to the info you mentioned? www.gov.uk/government/n...

Here’s the precis version. Universal credit New universal credit (UC) health element claimants from April 2026 will still see their UC health element almost halved and frozen. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/what-ha...

I don’t have a side. I believe in facts and that two different things can be true at the same time. And no need to resort to swearing. The problem today is this need to be one thing or the other. We all have to agree to disagree and stop the division being caused.
