Govt making further benefits cuts

Are members aware of this recent development? The article is behind the FT paywall ( I subscribe) and I can only post one image at a time here so I’ll put key screenshots in comments below. The unions are challenging it of course but given the hostility of a large proportion of voters to disabled people plus the government’s genuine need to either reduce spending or increase taxes the outlook isn’t good for those on benefits.

  • They do, but you also need a goal in mind. Like "it's going to be a few years but this is the Britain we want". I just don't think Starmer has much of a vision beyond getting into power. If announcing benefit cuts to the most desperate would get more votes, I don't think he'd have a problem with it.
