Perfect eggcorn

This quite niche: people in TA/SH who work but still qualify for at least 1p of UC are passported to full HB, but there is an income range where they just float off UC and HB drops by more than earnings increase. Smoothing taper in that range is what's being announced here.

Yes, but what about the painting?

People migrating from ESA aren't even having a WCA, the stats seem to be recording LCW/LCWRA decisions, which are rubber stamping existing status automatically carried over from ESA

Bit of a tangent, but they made a UK Friends rip-off (Coupling) and then the Americans made a US version of that. An American version of the British version of Friends

DOB clinches it, someone pranked Reform there

Is she dead or did she ever exist at all? An experiment to see how easy it is to get a Reform nomination, using in this case a collage of right wing tropes and some photo. And as an aside, er, where are those boots walking? Derry about 50 years ago? Looks sus to me

Biological AI, I actually thought that was what you wrote and that it must be a thing

Don't treat learning disability as something humourous in any context at all. Delete that post

They are mostly exempt from the benefit cap, so scrapping the two-child limit would increase their income

Trump's claim rejected but each side to meet their own costs?

In a hotel lift with Mitchell Starc in Nottingham. Glared down at me with sneering contempt for 8 floors that felt like 800. Very intimidating man! TBF I think the squad had suffered some hassle from drunk idiots. Glad I wasn't opening the batting for England the next day though.

CHInese food (in every police series)

Sir, we ARE they

It's probably best not to be condescending while wrongly using the word "disinterested"

The LCW supplement for people allegedly disicentivised to work by benefit rates was already abolished 8 years ago. LCWRA was not, because even the Tories recognised that it was not aimed at people who can do anything about being out of work

Yes, LCWRA is for people who cannot even prepare for work, temporarily or permanently (eg profound LD). No point trying to bully or incentivize them to work. Some (not me) say it's too easy to get LCWRA, but its purpose is to allow people who won't be able to work to have some dignity and comfort.
