So what are the thoughts on Ester Mcvey?

Is she going to be helpful for us all? I think I remember her getting involved a while ago but not sure what or why though.

Take a look at her voting record. “Consistently voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability” Voting record - Esther McVey MP, Tatton - TheyWorkForYou

The real problem is this Governments inhumane policies and doubt a new minister will make any difference. Even the United Nations considers the treatment of disabled people in the UK to be a humane catastrophe.

This is the woman who was involved in the PIP negotiation and, at the last minute, changed the agreed 50 metre mobility standard agreed with all agencies to 20 metres. No consultation. She is one nasty piece of work.

Yeah, I agree with everybody saying that this is one more stick to break these camel’s backs… well, it ain’t going to! Heels dug in now… rude words to the lot of 'em and the horse they rode in on. We are stronger than any of them, and we’ll ride it out until this sorry shower is got rid of and we stand a chance of getting someone who may fight our corner. We are the MS Warriors and cross us at your own peril!
