Thank you, AAV. It is hardly rocket science is it? There will be fewer people able to work and a lot less money supporting local businesses. When will someone actually challenge Starmer and Reeves on this issue? I’m guessing they don’t want to U-turn because they will look weak, but, actually, it would be a radical act of strength. I won’t be holding my breath though.

Starmer and Reeves know exactly what they are doing. They know the effect on the disabled and they know the knock-on effect to business and the community. You cannot talk morality to amoral beings. They are fascists and their mission is to empower the rich. The irony is that while the Tories hesitated under public pressure, Labour is going full-steam ahead, the public be damned.

What we need to do, and should be a priority for Labour, as Tory Reform would certainly not do it, is to GET BIG MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. We need political leaders who serve the country, not corporate whores who serve themselves.

"It’s immorality, justified by lies, motivated by economic stupidity."

I do love a concisely worded bit of undeniable truth.

I work as a community psychiatric nurse we already have employment support workers that help anyone able to work get a job. This cut is about paying for weapons for Ukraine. Its a scandel.
