Current Affairs The Conservative Party

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.

The thing is my doctor has said I'm fit for work, despite them authorising sick notes for the last 18 months. They simply do not have a proper grasp of my situation which is why I decided to go private. Even the specialists have played it down and more or less said just get used to it, so it feels a bit futile contesting it. I think I have to go back to my GP and fully explain my circumstances as if I was explaining it to a five year old. One issue is they demand that you request any treatment via their eConsult service, which by design only allows you to specify one set of symptoms at once. It's quite fragmented and frustrating to use.

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

Not sure you’d class her as working class. Her father owned two businesses. She went to Oxbridge etc.

I’d have put her as part of the bourgeoisie.

Sorry to hear that.I understand the frustration of having to prove that you are unable to work for health reasons. The e.consult is frustrating but at least it gives you an appointment. I would follow your own advice and start again with your GP.
The phrase get used to it ,is a bit insulting and demoralising because it sounds like there is nothing they can do which is not what you want to hear.
I hope you can get a positive outcome from this. Don’t give up,try and find other people with the same health issues that you have,they may be able to help.
Take care

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.

Advocate building millions of houses never a mention of new sewerage farms ornew drainage systems then when the floods come its global warming - we are still using What the Victorians built in this field......
Yet expansion still expanding out of step ..... Pro Rarta water & Sewerage will find it's level of no expansion new units built.....

Given his voting record and his views you'll forgive me for not shedding too many tears tonight and neither should anyone else.

I didn't agree with his views and politics either, but that post is disgusting. Show some respect you animal.

I can just imagine the brainstorming 'thinking outside of the box' session at Conservative HQ:

Sunak: "How do we appease those pesky scousers that always call us scum, we need to pipe them down. I really am lost for ideas. Anybody?"

Minister 1 "Maybe investment in to affordable housing for the disadvantaged?" he says with a wry smile.

*room erupts with laughter, San Pellegrino bottles everywhere. Sunak is thumping his fist on the desk with tears streaming down his face, unable to breathe.

Minister 2: "How about a Beatles museum? They love The Beatles do those scousers."

Sunak: "That's it, genius! That'll keep them quiet for a few years at least. Meeting over!"

*Sunak hums 'Let It Be' as he struts out of the door with a spring in his step

Patronising gits, all of them. Let's toss 'em an unwanted baubles and forget about any investment in the the things people really want and need.

I know it's not as simple as this, but you could build a decent amount of basic housing for £2m.

I can't help but think that this is an ill informed ploy to appease Liverpool.

There's been a recent series on radio 4 about the housing crisis. One episode featured the houses for a quid scheme created by Liverpool council. The scheme is oversubscribed and they've closed the application process. I'm sure 2 million pounds would have been a better use of money for that, rather than a third Beatle's museum.

She was working class. Daughter of a grocer.

Bitch she was... working class bitch

Someone who owned their own business was not working class.

She was evil and an absolute disgrace but having a small business doesn't mean you're middle class. Loads of working class people have businesses.
