Different Party, Same Old B*astarts:Part Two
So, Liz Kendall gave her speech regarding the cuts to disability benefits to parliament.
Rubbish as expected.
The only possible good point is the right to try to work without losing any benefits if it doesn't work out. I suppose we'll have to wait and see exactly how that part pans out, but otherwise crap for everyone.
Also, did anyone see the interview with Torsten Bell, a Minister for the Department of Work and Pensions saying he couldn't live on £70 per week? Maybe he should consider the fact that no one can and sort that bit out.
Or we could cut MP's salaries to the lowest level of benefits available to someone for a while... might help clarify their thinking about what they subject others to.
Doubt that will happen.
All I can say is, that I fear for those who are subjected to such a system, and hope I never find myself unwell enough to need to apply for any help again.
