Told this is against the rules, and being downvoted, so removed.

Reeves added: “A changing world means Britain must change too, and we are delivering a new era of stability, security and renewal, to protect working people and keep our country safe.”

So she's protecting working people by killing the disabled through impoverishing them.

Sometime between tomorrow and 26th March (different news outlets are giving different dates) the UK government are supposed to announce the cuts they're making to disability benefits. And it sounds like it's going to be really bad - they're talking about cutting UC by more than half - but only for the disabled - and making it and PIP very difficult to get. I thought that if I can just win my appeal, I'd be fine for a while. But now, while I still wait to hear about that, I'm losing all hope. If I win my appeal but benefits are slashed by this much, it's over for me. I am sitting here researching which su1c1d£ methods would be the easiest, most painless and reliable. I have one in mind, but I am still scared. I don't want to do it, but if the government make it impossible for me to live, I don't see what choice I have.

They are also talking about "encouraging" the disabled to "try" work and if it doesn't work out, they can stay on benefits. What this actually means is, being forced into work. I have already provided multiple letters from doctors saying I am unfit for any type of work, but I don't believe for a second that will be taken into account. FFS I can't even get dressed or cut my own nails without help. When I was in receipt of my benefits I used that money to do things like pay a carer to help me with this stuff, go to the podiatrist to get my nails cut (the NHS doesn't do that) and pay for extra physiotherapy sessions as the NHS only gives me one about every 6 months. Since my benefits were stopped I've had difficulty getting dressed to the point I'm inappropriately dressed as I can only get certain clothes on, I've had accidents doing this (falling over due to balance issues caused by the stroke while trying to get dressed) haven't been to the podiatrist so my nails are painfully long, haven't had physiotherapy in ages, apart from one consultation with the neurophysio recently who said there's basically nothing more they can do.

And yet none of this was enough to stop me getting my benefits stopped, so I know it won't be enough to stop them trying to force me out to work. I just can't live like this, the stress and uncertainty never ends. There is no hope of it getting any better. As soon as I wake up in the morning I feel absolute dread descend on me, knowing it's another day of fear, anxiety and misery.

EDIT: EDIT: And I've just had another awful realisation. They are saying they're going to remove some of the eligibility criteria for PIP, such as people who need help on the toilet no longer having that taken into account. This means that some people who've already been awarded PIP will suddenly lose their money, surely? If their points for certain activities no longer count, they'll find themselves below the threshold to receive help after all.

Government sources said a further extension of the protections was 'completely off the table' given the expected cost to the Treasury. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been resisting calls from Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson to extend transitional protections again.

Well, we can't waste money feeding kids now, can we? Scrounging kids, stealing yachts out of the mouths of poor starving billionaires. And of course Rachel Reeves, the same embodiment of pure evil who wants to cut disability benefits to levels nobody can survive on, is refusing pleas to keep feeding these kids.

And I know why, the constant terror and threats of having your only means of support stopped. And how hard they are to get and keep, the constant hunger, always worried about becoming homeless.

I need to get my groceries delivered at the moment due to my foot surgeries - I can't walk very far or wear shoes. I normally order from sainsburys and I'm so grateful to the person who sent me a sainsburys voucher, but right now there's a delivery issue with sainsburys in my local area. I don't know whether they're just booked up or having a problem but they have no delivery slots for the next 11 days and I'm almost out of food. Justeat has 5 supermarkets close to me. Would anyone send me a justeat gift card so I can order groceries for the next 11 days? There are several websites that sell them and it can be sent to my email address which is electrik83@hotmail.com

So many MPs trying to protect PIP from being cut, while accepting drastic cuts to UC. Why? Because PIP isn't means tested, lots of wealthy people claim PIP, while UC is means tested, so only poor people claim UC. The government are traying to make sure wealthy people continue to receive extra help, while poor people don't.
