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.
It's completely unsurprising as our current government are just monstrous and shouldn't be trusted to have a pet, let alone a country. Unfortunately it's not like we can count on Keir et al to roll back anything with where they stand on austerity and benefit cuts.
I think, as somebody more involved with politics than I really want to be, that changes will have to be incremental, even if the Tories do lose the next GE.
They've done a lot of damage.
That's all I'll say.
I don’t really bother with it, I can see it, but there’s nothing to be done.. if it gets to implementation then there’s nothing I can do, if it is shelved as the election draws near then fine but there’s nothing to be done by me..
Heathens. You should take a look at ‘Jeremiah’s Lamentations’, spoilers ‘the corrupted-wise end up being destroyed’, as their sins are beyond the scope of punishment, because they don’t even accept punishment.. this is part of a the social cycle unfortunately..
Sorry for the biblical analogies, they do state the situation rather-accurately though, the summary is that you shouldn’t do ‘it’ because the heathens are doing it, but even after they’re destroyed you still have to suffer under Nebuchadnezzar to recover the right focus..
