Yeah look at disability income as an example. No one thought labour would actually cut it since a majority of labour members were against cutting before the election.

But Starmer and the rest of Tory Lite made the MPs toe the line.

    You mean the one where there was a huge Labour back-bench rebellion and the government backed down and made essesntially zero cuts?

    Nah the government made getting PIP far harder all future claimants this will lead to an estimated 1 million less PIP claims by 2030. And slashed the UC health top up for new claimants (nearly removed 2000£ / per year).

    Please don‘t fucking minimise how awful this is many disabled people are already barely surviving this will absolutely lead to excess deaths. I say this as someone on Disability income myself.

    Official estimates by the government itself estimate this will lead to an additional 150‘000 working age people being in poverty.

    Importantly, this estimate does not include any potential positive impact of the bolstered £1billion annual funding, by 2029/2030, or the additional £300million of support in this SR period that is being brought forward. These measures will support those with disabilities and long-term health conditions into employment, which we expect to mitigate the poverty impact among people it supports into work.

    Oh look, only considering negative changes and not positive ones leads to seeing a negative outcome, very surprising.
