From Elle and back....

My mum is severely disabled with multiple sclerosis. She wrote to our local MP, holding his feet to the flames over the proposed PIP reform. Within a week, she got a response from him. As anticipated - towing the party line, saying we needed reform because "the economy" and because "young people waaaah!"....Total copy and paste job....but a response none the less. Now....wind the clock back to twelve hours after she sent him her email....I sent him one. In it I explained that while I would most definitely score high enough for both components for PIP, I don't claim because... A) I do not have the capacity to deal with that shit. B) I know being in employment will be held against me and my claim will be denied. I asked him what Labour intends to do to address this, because if they really mean they want people back in work and want to support disabled people to be able to do that - this prejudice against the working disabled/chronically ill has to be addressed. They must relax the PIP assessment process to accept the working disabled, and also disabled carers. Well, guess what? It's been over a week now since my mum got her reply....but I haven't heard jack shit! This fucker doesn't know what to say to me because he knows as well as I do this isn't about supporting disabled people into work, it's about punching down on societies most vulnerable because Starmer doesn't have the bollocks to go after tax dodgers and wealth hoarders and it's easier to punish disabled people (who were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic) for the careless decisions of the previous government. Fuck Keir Starmer. Fuck Liz Kendal. Fuck Rachel from Accounts and fuck Angela Rayner twice! 'Cause that bitch marketed herself as some big saviour for the disabled and their carers and she's sat there and cheered this shit on, after years of slagging the Tories off for cuts they didn't go through with. Claiming she understood the plight of societies most vulnerable, while she pulls in a £164k salary, plus expenses (including £249 headphones) and plots to steal directly from the pockets of those who have already been dealt a shit hand by life. The fuck has happened to these people? Will the real Labour party please stand up?
