  1. I don’t why they go to this bother. If you don’t already know the government doesn’t give a fuck about anyone that’s not rich I don’t where you’ve been. If they did get released the best we could hope for is the usual talking heads saying “oh dear what a shame” and then it’s back to the business of screwing the country a bit more.

    The pensions triple lock will be suspended next year to avoid a multi-billion pay rise for Britain’s elderly, the Treasury has confirmed.

    Thérèse Coffey said the decision has been made to stop Britain’s 12million pensioners “**unfairly benefiting from a statistical anomaly”.**

  3. And then Journalists and Lawyers go through the process of Freedom for Information and are labelled enemies again, just for holding this bunch to account…

  4. At this point in time I would support just about any party that vowed to initiate full transparency in governmental policy. All documents produced by government should be uploaded to a .gov server for public scrutiny.

    All these “secret” reports, from Russian interference and Cambridge analytical through to this one on welfare reforms need to be published.

    These documents don’t have contain “national secrets” like how many of our nukes are serviceable at any given time or who’s fingernails we pulled out at our black ops site in Diego Garcia but the day to day workings of our government. Sure the contents of which may be embarrassing to those who fucked up but that’s the whole point.

    Johnsons time in power has shown we need to have a clear over view of the competence and consequences of our government.

    With out full governmental transparency we can never bench mark what our governments are actually doing.

  5. Disgusting woman. Disgusting policies. Just have a look on the DWP help sub Reddit to see the unnecessary misery they cause.

  6. Cue some elderly commenter saying “young people have never had it so good” while referencing benefits that were all discontinued a decade ago.

  7. The lack of accountability of this government is staggering, unless you are a millionaire they hold you in contempt.

  8. These cunts should be straight up jailed for pulling stunts like this, I mean like 5 years with no early release, their job is to serve the public, not fuck them over a barrel

  9. Fucking fat ankled psychopath… trying to remember what other bullshit came out of her mouth before? Was she “lazy benefit claimants” or “If you don’t like your job,do another one”?

  10. This woman is a sociopath. I mean most Tory’s are but they can at least hide it to some degree, she absolutely can’t. Every attempt at empathy I’ve seen from her is painful to watch.

  11. And anyone is surprised because?

    The Tories don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves, their donors, their big business sponsors and their chums.

    Everyone else is just there to pay for their lifestyles and to be exploited.

    Years of propaganda against anyone claiming benefits has led to people thinking of the undeserving poor and they’ll bang on about it until they suddenly find themselves in a dire situation and then realise that the Tories have been lying to them all along. They won’t realise before then because your Tory voter has zero empathy.

  12. What the Tories have done to, what they’ve unleashed upon the disabled constitutes a crime against humanity quite frankly. It’s no different than what the Nazis did to the disabled during the 1930s. That’s where the Tory party and it’s members/voters are at… That’s not an exaggeration, but an objective look at the facts on the ground. Total unrestrained psychopathic evil.

    Now tell me Tory voters how does systemically murdering the disabled benefit and positively improve the country??, What’s your rationale and reason why you support and love these murderous extreme, hateful, dehumanising policies??… Why do you hate the disabled to such an extreme degree to the point where you actively want them dead??..

  13. [Rethink did a report into deaths and serious harm to benefits claimants](https://www.rethink.org/get-involved/campaign-with-us/a-fairer-benefits-system-and-financial-support/stop-benefit-deaths/)

    Executive Summary:

    >Many people, particularly those with existing mental health problems, find the experience of navigating the benefits system difficult and distressing. This can make people more unwell, sometimes to the point where they feel compelled to harm themselves or try to end their lives.

    >The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is supposed to conduct an Internal Process Review (IPR) whenever their actions may have played a part in someone dying (such as by suicide) or experiencing ‘serious harm’. The DWP has opened at least 289 IPRs into such cases since 2012. These internal investigations are intended to review processes and practice and identify any recommendations for change where there has been a death or ‘serious harm’ that may be linked to the DWP’s actions.

    >To explore these issues further, we conducted a survey to find out more about the harm people have experienced as a result of their interactions with the benefits system, and how the DWP responded. This report is based on the responses to that survey and detailed interviews with eight survey respondents.

  14. It should also be noted that Labour’s Rachel Reeves is also on record as saying under her watch Labour will be even harder on, will expand the disability benefits assessments/will expand the DWP’s powers to target & go after disabled benefits claimants and will treat disabled people even harsher than the Tories…Which quite frankly is very chilling, that is terrifying considering the Third Reich policies the Tories are already inflicting upon the disabled over the last 12 years.. and Reeves wants to go even further. That’s Kier Starmer’s Labour Party. Like WTAF! :/. The entire political establishment in the UK is dominated by psychopaths and far right lunatics.

  15. Coffey always comes off as a bumbling assistant type who sees, hears and reads everything but doesn’t appear to do anything and no one really knows what she does. She’s always in the corner of the screen during PMQs close to the speaker but doesn’t really move. She’s probably thinking how on earth she’s here and in the job, and somewhat amazed brown nosing got her to where she is.

    I can picture her with a load of confidential papers to be shredded, standing in the open dropping folders all over the place that’s she’s written in thick red letters spelling out SHRED but looking a bit like a victim doing it out of duty rather than principle or morally.

    The others are similar but know why and just own it. None of them qualified to be where they are but don’t care as they’re in power and that’s all that matters.

  16. The DWP has caused untold misery and suffering since 2010, and it infuriates me that the likes of IDS and Coffey will likely never be punished. I wonder to what extent the Catholic faith of each informs their policies. It’s like they think poverty is a moral failing rather than a systemic one, and the poor must be punished for it.

  17. Thérèse Coffey gives off such strong ‘Social Worker under investigation for dereliction of duty/professional misconduct ‘ vibes.

  18. Unsurprising. Therese Coffey is pretty fucking evil so I don’t doubt she has no compunctions over eliminating evidence that proves the failures of the Tory government.

  19. Obviously they just don’t want to tell people how wonderfully everything is going so that the “scroungers” don’t try and get more money. No way they would be trying to hide the blood on their hands. Nope. Not at all.

  20. [https://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/2021/march/errol-graham-family-man-who-starved-death-after-benefits-cut-lose-high-court](https://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/2021/march/errol-graham-family-man-who-starved-death-after-benefits-cut-lose-high-court)

    >An inquest in 2019 found that DWP and NHS staff had missed opportunities to save Graham, and the coroner concluded that “the safety net that should surround vulnerable people like Errol in our society had holes within it”.

    And yet

    >last week a judge ruled that the DWP guidance was lawful and that officials had acted reasonably in Graham’s case.Mr Justice Bourne said neither the law nor DWP policy at the time “mandated any further specific steps to be taken in that situation”.

    This is tory Britain. A place that lets people starve to death and only found when they come to kick them out. 4 and a half stone is what Errol weighed when they found him. Fuck the DWP. Fuck the Torys and anyone who votes for them.
