Thanks, Trish. I'm awed by the things you do and I know hard it is on you.

I feel bad, because I got my hopes up while watching the debate and I feel guilty if I gave people false hope. I mean we've got a substantial stay of execution and the 4-points thing may be dead in the water. It is a major achievement that will save lives and a testimony to the massive effort so...

I hadn't realised the 'severe conditions' group was in this bill. I thought I'd read all of the bill, but must have just started and intended to go back. That's awful and seems to have been overlooked. That should have extensive scrutiny.

It's not over yet. There's still the Committee and Report Stages and 3rd Reading. I think it will still go to the Lords, but as it's a money bill they can't make any amendments. The committee stage of a bill is a detailed, line-by-line examination of the legislation, where MPs or Lords propose...

Stephen Timms says Government are withdrawing Clause 5 of the Bill - which I think is the 4 point rule for PIP. That it won't implemented till after the Timms Review of PIP reports. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/01/starmer-set-to-offer-labour-mps-further-welfare-bill-concession...

Kirsty Blackman (SNP) being fantastic. So impassioned. And mentions ME.

The Guardian says it has been designated a money bill. I want to swear and swear.

Rachael Maskell's reasoned amendment has been selected.

I was sleeping and have watched about half an hour since waking up. I'm just confused .Kendall was all over the place. Current claimants won't ever be subject to the 4 point rule, except when they are. There's going to be a complete collaborative review of the PIP assessment that will end just...

One last attempt to persuade my MP. I've gone for a bit of cheek These are my opening paragraphs - I'm going to start by saying thank you. Thank you to your colleague Vicky Foxcroft who has shown principle and leadership by resigning as a Whip over this. Thank you to your colleagues like Nadia...

It doesn't seem to be available yet. The poster below has a FOI in, but DWP are stalling.

The government are pressing head, bill published 18/6, 2nd reading 3/7 - I loathe these people.

Quite a lot of these statistics are available from Benefits and Work. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/most-at-risk-pip-health-conditions-revealed https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/increasing-amounts-of-green-paper-data...

This is from the Green Paper - 121. There are already rules in place that are intended to encourage working-age people who are in receipt of health and disability benefits to try work. Both PIP and UC health are in and out of work benefits. In UC there are work allowances specifically for those...

Thanks, Trish. There seems to be quite a lot to be uneasy about. Solutions - that's a big claim.

Oops. This came as a shock to me because either I managed to miss this entirely or I did know and forgot, which is easily possible. Is it related to the PROM and Tyson and Gladwell? Don't bother answering. I'll read back up on it when I'm able.
