Still working 😬 Self -employed business owner . Family carer Mother of 3 and grandmother to 4 Lots of interests including politics and especially Adult Social Care - out of necessity! It’s reached dangerous levels here in Norfolk. Dislike right wing!!!
Here’s the full letter to Keir Starmer from MPs - they are both new intake and veterans and from the left and right of the party “Without a change of direction, the Green Paper will be impossible to support”
Below is what labour should be listening to. A response of we need to make changes faster means they are not getting the message.

Our political leaders must connect with the suffering of others if we are ever to change the path we are currently on www.bigissue.com/opinion/labo...
Where is all the empathy for people having their benefits slashed?
Empathy seems to be in short supply, in politics given the Labour government's record so far. So where is our anger? Asks Keetie Roelen.

Cutting disability benefits will do nothing but heighten the scapegoating of disabled people once again – how can a Labour Government introduce such a punitive measure? Penny Pepper asks

#PIP The vile DWP are sending out a toxic survey on how disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money DWP have no legal right to ask this information & you have no legal obligation to respond to this survey Or you can send a letter of opposition about the proposed changes (cuts to pip)
Abstentions are not support for disabled constituents. This is so wrong from Labour. Time to stand up for your constituents & say so! It’s simply appalling by a so called Labour Party. Vote against these appalling cuts! @ascws.bsky.social @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social @inclusionlondon.bsky.social

Proof from a foi from the DWP! Proof of the lies being spewed by Kendall, Rerves and Starmer. This is not what we voted for

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink
Peter Stefanovic@peterstefanovic.bsky.social · last yr.I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis This is how you can help youtu.be/XrX4dF3wqt0?...
Ill and disabled people will be made ‘invisible’ by UK benefit cuts, say experts
Hands off our NHS! This is NOT the change we voted for @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social Benefit cuts plus the watered down Right to die proposals feel like legalised slaughter of disabled people! This is appalling
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · last yr.Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs. No impact assessment produced. A Wes Streeting recipe for privatisation dressed up as efficiency drive. NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to the private sector. 30% -40% of money will vanish in profits. Money will buy less. Must resist.

As a shrink, I see the #DisabilityBenefits cuts hit like a tsunami: suicidal ideation up, hope drowned. £5.5bn saved on paper, but the human cost? Unaccountable. This proposed policy is stoppable - please write to your MP today. #WelfareNotWarfare
The conversation around proposed benefit cuts continues. They must be opposed!! Disability Rights UK have a page containing information & resources regarding the green paper plan on benefit cuts and how people can get involved in responding! Visit here: www.disabilityrightsuk.org/take-action
The U.K. cannot continue to pretend it can make a “deal” with these people.
