"Labour’s collective belief in the dignity of labour regularly curdles into two toxic ways of thinking. One is a belief that paid employment is the only reliable gauge of people’s esteem; the other is a queasiness about disability that sometimes lurks just below the surface. There is also an apparently desperate need to counter any suggestion that Labour ministers are liberal fainthearts. In March, the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, offered a curt explanation of why the government was set on its plan: “This is the Labour party. The clue is in the name. We believe in work”."

Yesterday I learnt about my PIP being taken away, this puts me down an extra £400+ from what I was already struggling, It is to the point that I have a few options.
Option #1: Find a way to make that money back and fight for my PIP back by appealing, most likely being picked and prodded by doctors.
Option #2: Make up that 400 and not appeal meaning I will have to keep generating that 400 each month to cover my basic costs of food and stuff.
Option #3: Do nothing about it and suffer.
At this point all I can say is that I'm not sure what to do and I hate the UK Government for doing these changes, this is not a needed thing on top of all my pain.
