  2. The Conservative Party wants to change the benefit cap. Households with disabled people will lose automatic exemption, meaning they might need to work 16 hours a week to get full benefits. This is a big change from the current rules.

    You're absolutely right; it's completely ridiculous.

    I don't understand what they hope to achieve.

    You mention history, but think how many times they've had to backtrack in the last year, the backlash from #WinterFuel and #WelfareReform... It's as though they've got a death wish... Or do they really think they can push through a Trump-style state if they're just sufficiently determined?

    That said, a country that voted for #Brexit, put the likes of Johnson in power...🤷🏻‍♀️

    I haven't heard anyone focus on Cameron/Osbourne's austerity and the Johnson government's legacy mis-handling COVID.

    I haven't looked, but should research the reasons for the increasing numbers disabled by their own government.

    They clearly think the plebs are expendable.

    Thank you for watching it by the way. VicD is fabulous but Streeting makes my stomach heave.

  6. Hmmm….I predict a handbrake style u-turn of the kind Johnson used to favour.

    #Starmer, who is advising you? Because this is flat footed, nasty politics…the likes of which we’ve not seen since erm…#Sunak.

  7. Sir Keir Starmer has pushed forward with his gleefully cruel cuts to UK welfare, thus making life even more of a nightmare for disabled people. As such, here's Keith and his accomplice Rachel Reeves as the slasher villain Freddy Krueger.
