  2. Labour punching down is a mistake when we could be taxing the ultra-wealthy. Shit like this leaves the door open for refrom.

  3. I’ve got a incurable personality disorder. I’m delusional. I would luv to work and be “normal.”
    But the reality is I can’t work even with the best will in the world.
    I can’t be around people. So now I’ve got the added stress of deeper poverty coming.

    These cuts will definitely increase the suicide rates.

  5. The 99.9% need to force the hand of our legislators to address wealth inequality by taxing accumulated wealth/assets over £$€10 Million globally. They can’t take their assets with then if they choose to hide away on Tax Havens instead of supporting the societies that have enabled them to grow such wealth

  6. Cuts to welfare and the country. But plenty to send aboard

  7. “A survey of people on health and disability benefits, done by the Department for Work and Pensions, revealed that 49% of people say they can never work. ”

    What a piss take… drop easy money payments for food vouchers from the tesco value range and suck it up. Want something nice, get a job

  8. Yeah, some of it is disgusting tbh. Very disappointing from Labour, this barely sounds different to Cameron/Osbourne. Some of the other stuff I’ve been ambivalent on, but making life harder for those out of work or who can’t work is wrong.

  9. Labour actively making the severely disabled worse off is a fucking disgrace. This is worse than what the Tories have did with all their cuts.

  10. and how are employers going to help, for example my wife works part time even though she doesnt need to.but her employer just keeps making things dificult and not really interested in helping

  11. Right now, the same people dismantling the U.S.A. are still working on doing the same to the U.K. There is not a peaceful solution to this, because abject cruelty is not peaceful is it.

  12. Oh no they’re gonna strip my anxiety and depression benefits now I’ve gotta get a job 🙁

  13. The workers are already taxed to death, employers will soon be taxed even more (so fewer jobs and pay rises), farmers kids won’t be able to afford to inherit working farms and car tax is becoming ridiculous… seems logical benefits are next, there are very few people left to squeeze.

  14. I kind of agree with it if it’s done properly but it wont be, it never is. Severe diagnosis should be awarded properly but all the “anxiety” lot claiming are going to lose their free ride and Im all for it, the current system seems to be easy to rinse with no consequences.

    People that really need help are going to be lumped with the rest though, not great.

    The whole system needs doing over. Changing to vouchers would quickly weed out the fakes as they cant buy their drugs with that.

  15. I have always voted for Labour. To me, they have never been the ideal party, more the best of a bad bunch, and not a wasted vote. But no more. I just cannot vote for them in good conscience now. The most vulnerable people in our society are going to suffer for this. Whatever your political beliefs, I am sure you agree that needless suffering is never the answer.
