The problem is not the factual accuracy of what he’s saying but why he would say it.
To anyone who follows politics even remotely, Wes clearly here is doing a dog whistle. He’s signalling to the boomers that labour also thinks people with mental health issues are just lazy. Hes doing reactionary politics on purpose.
This was done on purpose, it’s not a mistake. Wes is literally this cruel.
He’s gonna be the next leader so get used to him!
On average, being disabled costs 1100 more a month.
Even when they are in work, those costs are still there. This is why PIP exists. 675 a month is already a pittance. And thats being taken away from many.

Read what disabled people actually say before listening to some bullshit bbc article white washing it
Break a promise, labour could never.
This cut will kill 1000s and your discussing it like it’s a change to bin collection days
You can’t govern a country based on the potential headlines. Murdoch has power but they have 4 more years with an incredible majority. They could literally expropriate the entire wealth of the nation and reset us to a 1970s level of inequality (ie the lowest ever). But they wont because they are ideologues, they believe the poor should have shit lives. They believe in the hierarchy.
I don’t think you really appreciate how bad this PIP thing is. 1000s are going to die.
Austerity killed 200k or more.
This is going to kill a lot more.
But great thanks for the crumbs mr kid starver
What kind of bellend do you have to be to panic when seeing a Palestine flag?
'people don’t like it when the government decides to cull the vulnerable ’ this isn’t some reduction of pocket money to lazy teenagers, this is literally the cutting of people’s basic needs. How would you feel if i took away your ability to feed and house yourself?
What makes you think the guardian are any better than the mail?
