Pablo Martini (Geezer)Parliament has passed the Universal Credit Bill — and with it, handed the Government power to slash support for sick and disabled people from 2026. Despite warnings, MPs voted down all amendments that would have stopped it. The so-called Timms review? It’s advisory only. (Just like *brEXIT!)Read how MPs failed those they were meant to protect. *Pablo says, Taking a note of Tories dirty deeds, the red Tories as labour, shags us!<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UCbill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCbill</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityRights</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WelfareCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WelfareCuts</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TimmsReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TimmsReview</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UniversalCredit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniversalCredit</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DWP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DWP</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labour</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Tories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tories</a> <a href="https://voxpoliticalonline.com/?p=98947" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://voxpoliticalonline.com/?p=98947</a>

Juggling With Eggs<a href="https://mastodon.social/@rmblaber1956" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rmblaber1956</a>My friend who made the FOI request, fears <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Starmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Starmer</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Reeves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reeves</a> have played a sleight of hand this week. The concession to not impact existing <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a> claimants has been thrown on the bonfire with gutting the bill and leaving key decisions to after the Timms Review reports in autumn 2026…there is no guarantee that MPs will get to vote on whatever Timms proposes.

Richard Michael Blaber<a href="https://mstdn.social/@JugglingWithEggs" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@JugglingWithEggs</a> Starmer hasn't U-turned on the Bill - only made a tactical retreat. The changes to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a> eligibility rules will probably be reintroduced after the Timms Review. They will have to be if the Government is to get its £1billion a year cut in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/benefits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#benefits</a> between now & 2030, & they seem Hell-bent on that.

Poor legislation is proposed when beancounters at the Treasury simply don’t consult.

Juggling With EggsWould you have thought that before putting out a Green Paper proposing massive changes to <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a> eligibility rules, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labour</a> would have consulted the key stakeholders? Organisations and charities supporting the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabled</a>. Especially as these so called <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WelfareReforms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WelfareReforms</a> were not in their 2024 manifesto? Well you would be wrong. My friend has just received this FOI request back from the DWP…

It was at least 15 minutes into the reporting when they actually said what. We had to hear the little grey man three occasions first saying it was an embarrassing U-turn (who knew)?

TottsKendall's changes will come in Nov26, and will only affect new claimants.LK also promised a review into the assessment process in partnership with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> organisations, due to be completed in autumn 2026.But many Labour MPs questioned the rationale for making changes to the qualifying criteria BEFORE the review was finishedKendall said any recommendations from the review - to be led by disability minister Stephen Timms - would be implemented "as soon as possible" Yeah, right<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a>

Pablo Martini (Geezer)While the headlines spin this as a “U-turn,” Labour's latest disability policy remains deeply unjust. It preserves benefits for current claimants but imposes harsher rules and lower support for future disabled people.This is not a reversal — it’s a reframing.

Baroque MongooseGreat Scott, my MP's gone up another jump in my estimation. I was really getting to like him anyway, but about an hour ago, completely unprompted, he sent me this:<a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=6fbxllcQF0GsKIDN_ob4w8sPhcBFC_lLibLhGndbUv9UN0Y4UTYzNUVVM0lFUThFWFM3VVEwSFJPMCQlQCN0PWcu&route=shorturl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=6fbxllcQF0GsKIDN_ob4w8sPhcBFC_lLibLhGndbUv9UN0Y4UTYzNUVVM0lFUThFWFM3VVEwSFJPMCQlQCN0PWcu&route=shorturl</a>He feels, quite rightly, that the government needs to know people's views on PIP. They don't seem to be giving this questionnaire much publicity, but he's more than happy to do it for them (because both he and they know what people think!). It's not a good questionnaire, but the answers are open-ended so it's still worth filling in.Please boost if you feel able - people in the UK need to see this!<a href="https://vmst.io/tags/pip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pip</a>

JackTheRebelCat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇵🇸 🇺🇦<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a> New Labour MPs have told colleagues that voting down the legislation would help get rid of “overexcitable boys” from Starmer’s team of advisers, according to The Times.Less than a year after securing a landslide election victory, chief of staff Morgan McSweeney is facing mounting criticism, with Labour MPs reportedly accusing him of alienating backbenchers. The BBC said one MP had described McSweeney's team as "boisterous young men" running around "like extras in The Thick of It".
