    It has been red tory v blue tory for decades.

    The end result of this will be reform in power. The rich won’t mind this. The poor, who vote for it, won’t benefit. But to them it will feel like the only option that might help.

    It is a similar dynamic to the US playing out in different ways. Musk’s slash > privatise the government is a speed-run of what has been happening in the UK since Thatcher - the last looting of empire being the looting of the profitable bits of the British state itself on behalf of the rich/capital (call it whichever you want).

    Bit Corbyn was an anti semite and Milliband couldn’t eat a bacon sarnie properly.

  Exactly the claim made by tories when they invented PIP.

  A reminder for all those not watching. The process for reviewi g claims cost them way way more then they ever saved.

  A huge 60 % of rejected cases were overthrown by courts for failing to follow thier own rules.

  And DWP is still refusing to release their imvestigation into the huge rose in suicides from claiments.

  Anyone who thinksbclaiming PIP is toneasy is delusional.

  The disabled community as a whole has spent the last 14 years stressed to the point of ill helth through exactly the percecution Labour is planing to contine.
