Hardly the only time this government has let rightwing online trolls guide policy if we are being totally honest.
This is rooted in the idea that disabled individuals should be "grateful for gruel". It's perception over reality as policy, no matter the way it reinforces the perception. 1/

A controversial opinion in the UK: having a standard emails job then sitting in a house you bought for a song and watching it rise exponentially in value due to political choices that have nothing to do with you is not it fact “working very hard to get what you have”

it’s funny how when people who own big houses are alive they had nothing to do with its value, but when they die their kids shouldn’t have to pay any inheritance tax because they worked VERY hard all their lives for it

You'd expect anyone else angry on behalf of their lesbian niece and disabled brother to try to make things better for queer and disabled people if they somehow achieved the highest office in the land, but no, he's going the other way.
I half expect to hear he's got a second cousin who's a refugee.

Here's an idea: what if we "concentrated" the refugee population into certain locations? "Camps" if you will. We could force them to work for free too. I wonder if there's a name for this sort of thing?
Well the optics of this are certainly something

The Home Office’s absurd taxi bill results entirely from its insistence on forcing people to move round the country without choice or notice, & to live on the breadline so they can’t afford public transport. That Mahmood didn’t know about it till the BBC told her shows how appallingly the HO is run.

So the Home Office, which is responsible for the welfare of asylum seekers & for determining their claims, has decided to call them “illegal migrants” & tell everyone it’s “furious” about them being here, but I’m sure this is fine and not a symptom of a culture of disbelief & gratuitous cruelty

Dismal framing. Every aspect of most asylum seekers’ lives is controlled & paid for by the Home Office. They can’t work, are told where to live & have no autonomy or dignity. So they aren’t *choosing* to use taxis & don’t need to be “banned” from doing so. The HO just needs to get its act in order.
Government to ban asylum seekers from using taxis
The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.
