Write to your MP....

I often write to my Labour MP, mainly on disability issues, his replies are starting to sound a bit defensive

Sorry to derail the thread a bit, but next time you write to your MP, ask him about the consultation that’s not long closed on yet more reform of disability benefits - more tinkering with pip to make it harder to claim for those genuinely disabled and eventually proposing that it is merged with universal credit. If it goes ahead disabled people who need the support given by pip, will no longer be eligible unless they qualify for UC. You can imagine the implications. There’s a green paper on the findings due later this year. Almost no publicity given to the proposals because everyone’s too busy looking at the ‘shiny shiny’ things going on to distract them.

Yes, the alternatives to Boris are terrifying!

My Mp just repeats, verbatim, whatever the current tory soundbite is.

As does mine! That is assuming she bothers to reply, my last email about visiting rights in care homes referred to the parties at Number 10 and all I got was an automatic reply acknowledging that I had sent one! I tried to find out when she hold constituency meetings but she doesn’t any more dispute to Covid!

She really is a waste of space, we hardly ever see her in the local area although I don’t think she plays a major role in government, at least I never see her name mentioned.

I wrote to my MP in a similar vein - relative in a care home and there was no sign of visiting rules being relaxed when restrictions eased. Even designated carers were refused, which is illegal. Visiting has been reinstated now, but still waiting for a reply.

silverlining that'll be right ! Local council has a deficit of several millions which constitutes the closure of certain public areas such as libraries, toilets, leisure centres, baths, places that matter to the general public.
The situation is criminal when you think that there are at least 6 people who work for the council are earning above £100,000+ each-----for what ??

My MP is Tory front bench minister Anne Marie Trevelyan who never responds to emails, she stitched the sheep farmers up over importing New Zealand Lamb, still failing to get the A1 dualled, was nowhere to be seen after storm Arwen when thousands of her constituents had no electricity for two weeks. I just hope folk remember her failure. Waste of space unless TV cameras are there!

Labour aren't supposed to think about earnings in this way----are they ?

Still waiting for parts of the A1 to be dual carriaged that she promised when Cameron was PM.
