The latest Badenoch-ism

Part of Kemi Badenoch’s justification for the Tories’ suggested £36 billion welfare cuts is:

millions of people can and do contribute to our economy to their families to their communities even when they face serious challenges. Double amputees run marathons. People who are housebound do wonderful creative work from home. People with autism run some of the biggest tech companies in the world. [Emphasis mine]

. . . and people with half a brain cell run major political parties.

  • Blind people run marathons. 
    People without arms run too. 

    Of course it’s good for people to reach their full potential, but they might still need financial support to enable them to do that and to live well. I haven’t seen evidence that removing benefits will be of benefit so I think Badenoch’s argument is flawed.
