If it gets even harder, they really need to just legalise assisted suicide. Thousands of disabled people have already died due to their benefits being wrongfully stopped at reassessment. It's already too hard. Just let us have a peaceful exit instead of starving an neglecting us to death.

Thank you. Hopefully if the past few years are anything to go by, he won't last long.

    Tbh, I kind of expect that to be the case

    It could go either way after he's gone

    Some person might reverse this (while, of course, doing some bad things in other places here and there, let's not kid ourselves)

    while another Prime Minister could really make a mess of things

    UK politics is so topsy-turvy.

    I don't even think that people remember Truss at all at this point
