I parlamentari del lavoro lanciano importanti ribellione per fermare il conto sociale

It’s incredibly frustrating to see Labour descend into infighting yet again. They were absent for most of the 14 years the Tories were in charge because they were fighting each other. It alienates voters. Every nasty or thick remark they lob at each other is picked up and passed on to other people.

Not one of those chaos-causing whingers has got any ideas about where to get the money from.

The reality is that many people are on welfare who COULD work. I know a few in my own life and so will many others. Could they become builders or restaurant workers? No. But there are jobs they certainly could do. I am no frothing-at-the-mouth Daily Mail fan. We have a ballooning welfare bill. More and more people are turning to welfare and bleating mental health or simply lack the basic life skills necessary to have a job. This needs to stop for their benefit as well as the economy’s.

Labour used to have schemes for getting people skills and into jobs. The Tories shut them all down. Obviously people will need support but it’ll be worthwhile.

There are people who truly can’t work and there are people who can but aren’t given the right support or aren’t made to work. If the numbers of people on the rolls could come way down, then the actual disabled could get a decent amount of support instead of being expected to survive on a pittance.

Until then, I have not heard one feasible idea about how to keep spending on increasing numbers of people while not crashing the economy. The public already torpedoed the winter fuel allowance cuts, which would have been the fairest way to save money given that Boomers are the wealthiest group and have not lost any support at all since 2008 while the futures of the young have been wiped out.

what we are an “outlier” in is spending less money as a percentage of GDP on disabled people and forcing people to live on some of the lowest disability benefit rates. Reform is needed, money could be saved fairly simply. But not by deciding that 87% are just no longer disabled, even though they need help washing, dressing and eating. The sheer rise in homelessness this will cause will bankrupt local councils.

If you want more disabled people employed, disabled people do, give companies tax breaks for employing us, but on the provision they actually do make reasonable adjustments

Thankyou to these Labour MPOs standing up against a leader trying to steal their party.
