"Guys, we're going to save 50 billion buy cutting all support to disabled people"

For what purpose? If you remove all welfare, what is the purpose of the government? Who would those savings benefit? The answer is tax breaks for the rich.

The only people who would vote for Reform are the ultra rich, the ultra stupid, or the ultra racist. "Yes, I'd like the party that actively promises to make everything worse."

Reminder for people who don't follow the situation closely, Reform UK is the MAGA party of the UK.

    The Tories are also the MAGA party. And Restore. And increasingly Labour.

    Not surprised. I sat on the train with a couple of guys who'd been to a conference of like-minded twats and the statement "why should parents get benefits when they have disabled kids? They knew the risk" is still burned into my brain.

    This is the kind of shit that ultimately gets more politicians killed. Lots of people have disabled family members or will become disabled in the future. This will be a dramatic increase in their cost of living as they have to support their family or watch them become homeless or die. That will lead to a massive increase in class-based rage that is more and more likely to bubble over into massive violence against the perpetrators.

    This reminds me of when the government cut benefit payments for at home caretakers so it pushed a lot of people to get services that are waaay more expensive.
