CW: UKpol: Frances Ryan on Starmer's planned cuts to disability benefits
"This is Labour's poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, disability cuts is the moral stain that will mark Starmer's government and the Labour party for years to come."
The excellent Frances Ryan on the planned cuts in disability benefits. She is, as always, right.
Every word in her piece is right. Shame on Starmer. Shame on every MP who votes for this bill.

CW: UKpol: cuts in disabilty benefits
Keir Starmer cutting key benefits to the disabled is shameful, as is most of what he does.
Frances Ryan in the Guardian as ever spot on.
"[These cuts] come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. There is a feeling that, if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also something that – once lost – is deeply hard to get back."
