The DWP and media are deliberately refusing to absorb the facts we keep repeating — that most of the increase in Universal Credit health claims is due to migration from ESA — like we’re telling the real story from the wings while they keep the spotlight fixed on a cardboard prop.

DWP Spin Decoder apparently there are 5 million job seekers in UK for 750,000 vacancies without forcing disabled to compete. It’s *always* about the cruelty & manufacturing scarcity, otherwise people would feel well enough to notice the massive transfusion of wealth going towards in plain view.
