An overturn to the hideous DLA reforms is being proposed in the House of Commons as an EDM (Early Day Motion): http://thebrokenofbritain.blogspot.com/2011/01/early-day-motion-on-disability-living.html

This is a huge step

Unfortunately whoever has written that EDM has made it more awkward to sign by bundling the housing benefit cap in; have made noise in the direction of my MP anyway.

Thankyou. :)

... I don't see a reference to the HB cap in the EDM text. Now, my reading comprehension can sometimes be funny... what am I missing?

There are two EDMs... weird

http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=41309&SESSION=905

and

http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=42351&SESSION=905

the second one is better worded, I am convinced I was linked the first one from your post but I have no idea where it came from as I can't find it any more

*grin* glad to be of service.

Brilliant. Thank you for keeping us informed.

(My MP says that as a cabinet minister, he can't sign EDMs*, but I shall signal boost.)

*In fact-checking this, I came across the wonderful rule that in an EDM, "no unparliamentary language or irony should be used." -- parliament.uk on EDMs

[biascut]

It would get very confusing very quickly if early day motions were allowed to use irony! "Wait - when you said that the Governments reforms were generous, did you actually mean generous or ungenerous?"

[anotherusedpage]

by that logic no politician should ever use irony, really.

Did you hear the thing about the press complaints comission and Littlejohn, on the subject of use of irony?

One step at a time. Yes. *breathes*
