It's a copy of Trumps government. We can look there to see the aims and what they want to achieve. I question whether it's possible in good conscience to even have friends who would vote tory or reform now.

Many disabled people rely on PIP (ADP) & UC to support access to work, healthcare, access to education and support. People use the money to try to mitigate an uncaring / unjust society. Reducing any monetary help will mean people are left even more isolated - poverty does not cure discrimination
