Keir Starmer is appointing a former Sun editor to a top government comms role, while watering down the Hillsborough Law.

Bootlicking the Murdoch press, betraying the people of Liverpool and insulting every campaigner for justice.

Justice For The 97.

Bosses ‘must offer flexibility’ to keep old and sick staff in work Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, says the culture of work in Britain must change as spending on disability benefits soars

Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, says the culture of work in Britain must change as spending on disability benefits soars

Why the new disability benefits concessions don’t make sense, and why the Bill must still be opposed, explained in under 90 seconds:

Labour's historic attack on disabled people is already wrecking lives. Just ask Kevin | John Harris The anxiety and horror of these sweeping cuts are a matter of deliberate policy. How did the party of Bevan come to this, asks Guardian columnist John Harris

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of my son- in- laws is disabled (due to a 🚘 accident) and has had to retire early. Fortunately he has a good pension, so they should survive (otherwise the family -3 kids- would be in peril)
He said he is DISGUSTED at what Labour are doing to disabled ppl.

Raids on workplaces? Forcing employers to act as immigration officials?

Theresa May's hostile environment never went away, and Labour are every bit as bad as, or worse than the Tories

Liz Kendall promises to fix 'broken' benefits system Measures including restricting eligibility for disability payments are expected to save £50bn by 2030.

UK Govt to cut benefit spending by more than £5bn a year by 2029/30. Poor/Disabled hit.

Silence on corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich.

Aligning tax on dividends and capital gains with wages, and charging national insurance on the same can create £20bn surplus.

Why hurt the poor?

I have helped a number of friends & family apply for PIP

Initially everyone had their application declined. On appeal I managed to get everyone some component payment

Not one achieved maximum benefit even though I felt some qualified

Getting PIP is not easy despite what Kendall claims

What do you call a sudden change of principles when you actually get into a position to change something?

“The majority of people who are forced to come to our food banks are disabled.. there is an incredible level of hardship out there & we are appalled the government looks at that situation & appears to be deciding to make huge cuts to the support people get"

Chancellor warned against PIP cuts that could plunge 700,000 households into poverty Leading charities have issued the Chancellor a stark warning

UK Chancellor urged not to make PIP cuts that could plunge 700,000 households into poverty.

It is war on the poor, not causes of poverty.

Median annual pre-tax wage £29,604.
38% of Universal credit claimants are in work.
16m live in poverty.
Lack of healthcare, disabling many

MPs will have blood on their hands if the proposals are like anything that we are hearing. When disabled organisations, benefits claimants, carers and health professionals are ALL warning you this would increase death and disadvantage, listen. Change cannot mean worse

When someone becomes disabled or chronically ill, people will twist themselves into knots finding a way to blame them. They need to find fault so they don’t have to face the randomness of life.

The truth is, anyone can become disabled at any time.

Good health is not a guarantee.

There is a shameful tradition of demonising disabled people. Why is Labour reigniting it? | Frances Ryan Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

In a nutshell 🥜

Starmer decries ‘worst of all worlds’ benefits system ahead of deep cuts PM expected to announce billions in savings from personal independence payment, the main disability benefit

Prime Minister backs disability benefit cuts bit.ly/3XGUkOZ as Labour discovers that taking money off millions on low incomes is easier than taking it from the better off.

The UN's damning verdict on UK poverty must inspire us to force change The United Nations criticised UK poverty rates and called for the DWP to scrap the two-child limit and benefit cap.

Neoliberal achievements.

Higher homelessness, food insecurity, malnutrition, lack of good food/housing, fuel poverty, sewage in rivers, crumbling schools.

Underfunded NHS can't provide timely care.

Corporations making record profits. Rich got richer in a corrupt political system.

The language of being 'economically inactive' used by Labour belies where the real 'inaction' resides, which is is for Reeves and Starmer to stop their bullshit and tax the fucking wealth hoarders.

Cut from £28bn to £15bn to £8.3bn to ??

Another win for fossil fuel companies. Manifesto pledge??

How long will Ed Miliband remain in the cabinet?

The United Nations just called out the UK’s #disability benefits system. PIP & ESA don’t cover basic costs. Disabled people are being pushed into poverty by welfare cuts. The government must fix this and stop treating disabled people as morally suspicious: tinyurl.com/2fxmr3cn

Some on benefits are 'taking the mickey', says minister The work and pensions minister says the welfare system needs reforming to encourage young people to work if they can.

Some on benefits are 'taking the mickey', says UK minister.

Some may do so, millions do not but will be victimised by cuts.

What about those abusing the tax system, govt procurement, buying honours, impoverishing people with profiteering, selling dud products, crashing companies?

This is shameful 😥

Deporting people won't make your life better.

Only redistribution of wealth will.

Why are Labour joining in the hate game?
