Apparently some 'Labour' folk are claiming there is a 'moral' reason for cutting disability benefits. What that 'moral' reason actually is they have yet to say. A shower if Tories wearing red ties. C**ts the lot of them. The i paper reported this morning that Labour can't get canvassers because people tell them to 'f@#k off' on the doorsteps. No surprise at all.
What's not mentioned either is that many disabled people do work and PIP enables them to do so. By removing vital funding many will no longer be able to work.
Additionally, nobody is talking about where carers come into this. Most severely ill and disabled people need care. How would employers accommodate their carers? Will their family carers be forced to leave their own jobs to support their loved one's employment?
Most sick and disabled also have frequent medical appts and/ or therapy, social care, and spend a huge amount of their time having to deal with admin and communications around that - how will employers be supported to be flexible about that?
The idea that disabled people aren't working or busy is a disingenuous myth perpetuated by the current labour party to paint the sick and disabled as unworthy malingerers. Most of sick and disabled are full time occupied with survival
They are NOT labour at all we are stuck with yet another big finance backed Tory party and I have no doubt that we will bill be hit with yet another even bigger big finance backed bunch of subservient idiot's when we finally get the ultra right wing Farage party! Still there is hope on the horizon... we could all be suffering Trumps world war III before that happens.
Two points: (1) Where is it written in the laws of nature that one has to work to have value and to share the earth's resources? Because we live, we are all entitled to our fair share of the earth's resources along with all other living things (even those pathological bastards running most of the western world). (2) If Labour is "the party of workers", why is it catering to those who not only do not work for a living but live by exploiting the work of others and by taking an unfair share of the resources of the earth? If Labour were a party of the workers, it would be banning wealth and what wealth there is in private hands it would be taxing very heavily. Labour's hypocrisy will not go unnoticed by the young, unfortunately there is nowhere on the left for them to turn, at the moment.
There was never anything legitimate about Starmer's take-over of The Labour Party; it was a hijacking, perpetrated by an infiltrator.
There was never so much as an ounce of good faith involved in the lies that the Tory infiltrator used to assassinate Corbyn's character; Starmer and his sponsors deployed an organized campaign of wilful defamation.
It was always the infiltrator's intention to vanquish The Labour Party, and subdue the demographic that The Labour Party once served; Starmer betrayed his campaign promises as quickly as he made them.
SIR Keir Starmer was never Labour; it was always a lie.
I want to see Starmer outed as an agent of the opposing party, I want to see Starmer sued for his defamation of Corbyn & other genuine servants of the public, and I want to see Starmer imprisoned for perpetrating a fraud against the British public.
This is the first time in history in which a Counterfeit Labour government has seamlessly continued the attacks on the working class and poor that began under the OTHER TORIES with absolutely NO IMPROVEMENTS WHATSOVER! True, Blair set the ball rolling from 1995-97 when Counterfeit Labour hijacked the party in violation of its constitution, backed by Murdoch, and Mandelson started to court the City of London and dark money that BRIEFLY defected from the Tories in 1997 and 2014. However, in the words of Ken Livingstone, Blair's government was still "the best Tory government we've ever had" that brought more working class kids into University and delivered the Good Friday Agreement, at least before the war in Iraq (now eclipsed by the genocide in Palestine). Of course capitalism was more stable then, or at least appeared to be, before the crisis of 2008 from which it can NEVER RECOVER, because there is insufficient surplus value in the system to sustain accumulation. Of course, the general crisis of capitalism globally is amplified in the UK by the catastrophe that is BREXIT and more especially by our not being in the Customs Union. Mark Carney is no Bolshevik but he steered a steady course through BREXIT and one day into office he has shamed Scab Starmer by standing up to the fascist scum, that is Trump! By contrast, Starmer WON'T rejoin the Customs Union or stand shoulder to shoulder with Canada because his corrupt and stinking Thatcherite arse is bought and paid for, and the attacks now are as nothing compared with what will follow a trade agreement with America's fascist state.
Arbeit macht frei, apparently. As to the nutzlose Esser (useless eaters) - let them die ......
that should now be the Labour Party's motto :(
Just so. Fascists produce no original thoughts. It's just: Exploit, murder, repeat.

They're not supposed to work, they're supposed to die.
Democide at home and genocide abroad.

Any news on a new left party yet? Seems like the need is very,very apparent; + none of the usual options are filling it.

People forget it was actually Labour who limited child support benifits

"The clue" is in the fact that these malicious, antisocial villains, define 'labour' as "work," rather than "the workers."

Great comment - well articulated
Thanks James. I'll be writing more on this on my own sub-stack blog shortly.
