At least I think this is where we're at.
So; despite Lords voting a big 'no' on three major issues relating to the proposed cuts affecting disabled people, our government is forging ahead in plans to overturn this vote. Good for them.
Right now the important thing is to keep the issue visible. It's not unreasonable; disabled people should be consulted on these proposed changes. That is not the case. The Tories seem to know what they want the outcome to be, and fuck everyone affected, basically.
They can't ignore it if it doesn't go away. Keep tweeting. Keep blogging. The internet is the only place where comment remains free. By stacking the overwhelming evidence against the cuts higher and higher, this government will be forced to rethink. It's still exciting, and it's definitely not over.
Here's a link to Sue Marsh's blog for more on this:
