Current Affairs The Conservative Party

I think Sunak is a future PM.

I mean everything so far is a bunch of waffle and nothing, but he has the right presence and he's likeable. It'll be interesting if he succeeds Johnson because, if he does, Labour would have a big hill to climb to beat him.

Another man of the people public school Oxbridge millionaire, just what we need in these straitened times.

The last working class PM was Maggie. That worked out well for millions

I'm talking of the political class as a whole, so far removed from the lives of ordinary people - especially the Conservatives, and yet still people vote for the chancers.

Two-thirds of Boris Johnson's cabinet went to private schools

Research by Sutton Trust finds proportion is twice as high as Theresa May’s 2016 cabinet

Yeah, nailed on I reckon. Speaks quite well and wears a hoody.

Only thing that may stop him is some dodgy financial dealings but not much is sticking (shock) so far.

Current labour is just as bad. I mean the leader is a sir!

I can't really think of any Dennis skinners now.

Sunak a man of the people? ?‍

Labour need to sort themselves oot or even more of us will start voting Blue if these big spending budgets under the Tories start to become a habit!

Call as soon as possible to start your claim. Will take 10 minutes or so.

Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) - how and when to claim, rates, eligibility, change of circumstances, claiming due to a terminal illness.

www.gov.uk

If successful will get backdated.
Hope you are ok btw.

Having been through the PIP process,all I can advise is tell them only about the bad days,don’t mention good ones and if you get turned down then always appeal.

I predicted this outcome, but I didn't predict 0 points, which is a slap in the face. I'm going to speak to Citizens Advice and see where it takes me. I will get them to help me with my PIP application, too. I may as well also apply for JSA seeing as I am apparantly fit to work.

It's easy to give up but it's exactly what they want. I'm determined to get every penny off them now, whereas I would have been satisfied with ESA until I am able to work again.

The wording of the application and assessment is horrible. The attitude that they portray is that unless you're in a near vegetative state then you're on your own.

I also got 0 points for mobility and care,after appeal I got medium rate for mobility but nothing for care. Also if you get UC ensure that you get assessed for the disability premium. I know it feels like they don’t care and it is horrible thinking that they don’t believe what the GP says but don’t give up. To be fair when I spoke to the UC assessor they said that the vast majority of cases passed to them should have been accepted before assessment but those are the rules. Also look at getting carers allowance if you live with someone. I don’t so can’t get it but I know a lot of people who do.
Im going to ask for another pip assessment as I now have rheumatoid arthritis on top of my CKD,
Unfortunately you can’t claim for mental health support for supporting Everton.

Fantastic to see my MP use PMQ's today to ask Johnson if he'll be having a cheese toastie on National Cheese Toastie Day.

Utter waste of carbon.

With a 20,000 majority.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I might be missing something but in this budget we were told leaving the EU has allowed us to change the tax on alcohol, surely this has nothing to do with the EU in or out and its just another lie... Its always been a thing.
And you can buy litre wine or whatever in pints when in france France and such like for for a euro.
They really do think they are chatting to thickies!

Judging by the results of recent elections/referenda they very probably are!

And wools

Whoever thought that "giving back control" to these turds would be a good idea?

It is indeed Infuriating to realise that the number two you just flushed is going to get a lovely day out at the seaside long before we all do.

5 years ago I would have never contemplated it but there seems very little difference between the two parties these days if the Tories start to move more to the centre and stop ripping off the working class.

I'll await Sir Keir's updated manifesto before deciding what's in the best interests of ol' FB92
