Farage gifted Starmer a huge majority by returning to lead Reform. Starmer now seems determined to return the favour

Any Labour supporter who cares about the welfare of pensioners and the disabled should be calling out the Labour government’s punishment policies on these communities right now. Far too many Labour supporters aren’t doing this. It’s cowardly.

New: “Reducing entitlements to disability or incapacity benefits will do nothing to raise living standards or help more people into employment.” — Andy Bell, Chief Executive of Centre for Mental Health tinyurl.com/m4fk4ep9 #WelfareNotWarfare

With water company bills set to rise 26% and their CEOs claiming huge bonuses, Labour's failure to act is surprising - usually when someone doesn't have a leg to stand on they can't wait to take away their benefits

Proud that all the Labour Councillors of Wakefield District ( which includes my constituency) voted to oppose cuts to Welfare benefits. Here is their statement:

🧵You’ll see headlines calling the UK “the sick man of Europe” and claiming disability benefits have doubled. But between 2010–2023, the caseload rose just 23% (from 2.6m to 3.2m). They inflate the numbers by quietly switching time periods. It’s misleading — and dangerous. 1/4

If the government are genuine about wanting disabled people to get back into work, why not recruit them as job coaches? Who better understands the reality of disability? Somehow I doubt they will. #DisabilityBenefits

DWP condemned by statistics watchdog for "entirely misleading" WCA figures The OSR has instructed the DWP to remove the figure entirely by 4 April, add a note that the press release has been updated and refrain from using the untrue figure again. benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/dwp-conde…

"If you really want to help people, if you really want to save money & get more people into work, I think you have to come at it a completely different way" Welcome intervention from Andy Burnham - benefit cuts are not a shortcut to sustainable savings inews.co.uk/news/andy-burn…

Andy Burnham has called for an end to the “punitive” approach to benefit cuts, which he believes is designed to “please certain newspapers” rather than get people back into jobs. Labour’s ‘punitive’ disability benefits cuts won’t work, says Andy Burnham msn.com/en-gb/money/ot…

Phillipson claims labours welfare cuts are about getting people back into work Thats a lie. PIP isnt related to work & it actually enables many disabled people to stay in employment. Stopping disabled people getting PIP won't help them into work. It will have the opposite effect

Andy Burnham in the i talking about how government disability benefits policy panders to “certain newspapers”

Labour threw disabled people under the bus to appease the Times, but the Times are still moaning that not enough disabled people will be harmed. A pointless strategy. #DisabilityBenefits

Reeves already planning more cuts to benefits just so she can say she stuck to her self imposed fiscal rules. #DisabilityBenefits

Dear "well educated" Labour MPs,you might want to reconsider your tactics of telling everyone not working to fuck off and die.

Labour plunge to their worst ever result...but at least Reeves can say she stuck to her self-imposed fiscal rules and unwise manifesto pledges on tax and that's what's really important.

Vast majority of Labour MPs know they are toast at the next election so will now be solely concerned with lining up their lucrative post MP "consultancy" gigs- certainly not giving a toss about the public. "Harder and faster" indeed.

It would appear that the electorate are not, in fact, swooning in admiration at Labour's "tough" and "brave" decisions to target the disabled and the elderly.

If Starmer really "got it", he would sack Reeves, Kendall and Timms and then resign himself. Instead he continues to listen to whatever nonsense Morgan McWormtongue whispers into his ear
