Welfare Bill crisis!
After the PIP U-turn, Labour are launching a 'fresh review' to 'fix' the rapidly ballooning benefits spend.
-> Is this real reform or just a political delay?
-> Taxpayers and claimants are watching.

Still wondering why @uklabour.bsky.social are so hell bent on making the poor poorer .. #BenefitsBill .. they could save more money by simply ordering #HMRC to go after #Phoenixism & other tax dodging schemes.
The seeming two tier condescensions to the benefits bill I feel aren’t worth the paper they’re not even written on
#TakingThePIP #BenefitsBill
Not all countries had to contend with the profound consequences - on trust, hope, and myriad other contributors to good health - of #Partygate. Could a sense of pathological betrayal make recovery from Covid/Long Covid sometimes beyond reach?

Morning Bluesky
So am i alone in seeing a dictotomy in a govt trying desperately to make sure disabled folk won’t be coerced into ending their lives prematurely while simultaneously cutting their PIP/ benefit leading to some choosing to end their lives prematurely?

@jamesasser.bsky.social I’m not seeing you on the list of MPs opposing benefits cuts for disabled people. Are you abandoning your disabled and vulnerable constituents? State your voting intention please!

Proposal
Cost in my trust - lost
Cost in my vote - lost
MPs
Vote against I feel:
Distinct moral duty
Vote for I feel:
Complicit in harming people
Abstaining I believe:
Cowardly still complicit
It’s not the ‘benefit reform’ needed it’s seemingly a ideological & political choice
#BenefitsBill
Oh no @theguardian.com , not you too. Surely you could come up with an adjective other than 'ballooning' to indicate an increasing #BenefitsBill, w/o the negative connotation? ('increasing' for example?)
