Convince me that this is any different from what Reform proposed on Monday. Okay so they’re not going to deport people but this will make it impossible for millions of people to ever become citizens of this country.

This is the kind of mess you expect from a Major-style government that's lost its majority and is dying on its arse.
It's not about the theatre of it. It's just a terrible, indefensible way to go about making policy. And it has terrified thousands of disabled people in the process.

The government's welfare legislation is falling apart in real time. Now the four-point rule is being axed from the legislation. The one remaining big cut in the Bill is the slashing of Universal Credit health payments by 40% for new claimants

Responding to 100+ Labour rebels by removing the whip from them and in turn jeopardising the huge majority you won less than a year ago - all because they don’t want you to take money from disabled people - sounds like a great political strategy for a party that’s supposed to be centre left
Under anything resembling normal times, this level of political self harm would be unimaginable, especially over a policy which does not have public support, is counter to expert opinion, will cause immeasurable harm to individuals, and will undermine the economy. These aren't normal times though.
