Starmer ally paves way for fresh row with Labour rebels over benefits cuts
www.independent.co.uk
Exclusive: PM’s close ally Bridget Phillipson tells The Independent there ‘needs to be further reform to the social security system for people to get back into work’

To the surprise of no one at this point, Kier Starmer’s Labour prepares to squeeze more money out of poor people. Anything to not tax billionaires.

The (Forced) Labour party seem to earnestly believe that disabled people are just too lazy to work, and cutting their benefits will incentivise them to do so. In reality, what will happen is that most will sink into deeper poverty and many will become homeless. Homeless people are a lot more expensive to the state than people on benefits, and their health will only deteriorate, causing them to be even less likely to work and costing more to the NHS.

    Key word: “seem.” They know fully well the situation with the poor and disabled. They’re 100% aware beaucoup people will die slow, suffering deaths. They. Don’t. Care!

    They do care about transferring wealth to those who work least: corporations and ultrawealthy.
