      Always less work to not give than to take. Disabled are an easy target not really seen by voters.

      Billionaires fight back very visibly and take actual risk to defeat.

    The fact that they even thought about it was the problem.

      They did more than think. They’ve been pushing it for months. And been trying to run propaganda against disabled people to justify their cuts.

      Labour has shown themselves to be as anti-disabled as the tories.

        as anti-disabled as the tories.

        Well when you spend your time appealing for the same voters and funding sources.

        Your going to be forcing down the same policy ideas.

        That’s my point. They shouldn’t even be thinking it, let alone trying to put a policy like this in place.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
