Starmer to drive through welfare cuts that could affect UK’s most severely disabled
PM faces backlash over plans to tighten eligibility, potentially leaving over 600,000 claimants £675 a month worse off
www.theguardian.com
Yep, thought so; even Starmer, Reeves and Kendall’s designed communication of this #Evil plot is #Machiavellian. They should all be put on trial for this.
Even the #CorruptToryParty didn’t dare to try this much harm to British Citizens

A bit of free advice for Rachel Reeves from me this morning to kickstart the economy -
START THE EU JOINING PROCESS
This will bring in immediate investment and introduce POSITIVITY and even JOY to this fractured economy.
It really is that simple.

If it weren't for Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have another £50 billion in her purse; plenty enough to boost the NHS, welfare, and infrastructure, and allow for some tax cuts. What a happier and more optimistic Britain that would be.
That's the price of the delusional idiocy of Brexit.

Today, Rachel Reeves is going to try and sell the idea of austerity 2.0 as an inevitable consequence of the Tory legacy combined with the external pressures of world events.
But the reality is it's a choice, in exactly the same way Labour's decision to stay lashed to the Brexit mast is a choice.

It is continuation of the Tory austerity with the old, sick, disabled, unfortunate as targets.
No talk of reducing corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich, redistribution of income/wealth.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK
