Maybe I'm missing your point, but which senators in particular are relevant to the UK?
I think the commenter meant the saying we have in the US which is call and write your representatives/senators. They were indicating doing whatever the UK version of that appears to be falling on deaf ears as the article states the politicians do not appear to be taking the advise of educated advisors so they are also likely going to ignore the public.
75% of the current Tory MPs are about to lose their seats in the next election so they don't give a fuck. The strategy they seem to be adopting to save their jobs is to swing further to the authoritarian right to try and convince boomers to vote for them.
They won't win by taking the sensible approach to policies like this, so that only leaves incentives to do as much harm as they can in the next year or so in hopes of getting the fascist votes out.
Do as much damage as they can so they can blame it on "the left" and people actually believe them. I've been fighting this battle for years in Sweden. Doesn't seem to matter to people when they're shown black on white that what they are complaining about is a direct result of policy made by the party they're hoping is gonna fix it. What matters to them is that they now "identify" as right leaning. Doesn't help that emphatic and cognitive ability plummets once people turn 60, yet they can vote for another 30-40 years.
