“The wellbeing of claimants, not cost savings, needs to be at the heart of any reforms,”

Absolutely right. Why can we not see welfare spending as socially valuable, the right thing to do, the hallmark of a decent society. Not a failing or an "unsustainable" burden on society.

‘Benefit’ = ‘something intended to help’

‘Cracking down on benefits’ = ‘cracking down on things that are intended to help’

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽
