I’d much rather be able to work 8 hours per day, than I would spend 8+ hours managing disabilities for a lot less money.
I’d much rather be able to walk and get around freely, than I would lease a car through Motability.

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.
Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.
The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.
