Benefit Uprating Bill - Today! [Reblogged]

As most of you will know, I'm desperately unwell at the moment.
Today, parliament will be sitting to hear the second reading of the Benefit Uprating Bill. You can watch live here from 11am : http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=12161 (Once other business dealt with, probably nearer to 12.30)

If any of you want to follow the debate on Twitter, I propose we use the hashtag #BUB

I've asked for volunteers to take over my twitter account for a while, as I get so much traffic and RTs it really does help to spread awareness far and wide.

It seems Labour will be supporting us. The language may not be ideal, but they are taking a big chance on us, risking a mauling from the right wing press as supporters of "lazy scroungers" I believe it means the "worm has turned" On welfare, Labour seem to have decided that supporting us could be a vote winner rather than a vote loser & I want to do everything I can to prove them right.

So, my warrior friends, once more unto the breach. Spread the truth, challenge the lies and shine a light onto their proceedings they would rather stayed obscured.
