Imagine being such a disgusting person that you think it’s a win that you have just made it harder and more expensive for a disabled person to have transport that they need to get out of the house…

Despite the Government planning to scrap the Work Capability Assessment, they've committed themselves to enforcing more punitive WCA assessments in the mean time.
Even by their own logic, how does this make any sense?

Motability scheme has been changed to make it less supportive and more like commercial leasing.
In other words, the right-wing politicians and media say jump, the Labour Government says how high?

MPs who support forcing Disabled people experiencing mental distress to have face-to-face assessments, despite the lack of evidence (as below), and despite the evidence of harm caused, would do well to read the copies of 'The Department' they were given.

Pretty ballsy to continue the nuclear power modular bullshit, freeze fossil fuel duty, and increase tax on EV's. That fossil fuel bribe the cabinet got must have been really good.

The price of food alone is 35% higher than just five years ago. And as temperatures drop, the coming months will be harsher than ever for people already living on the sharpest edge.
This winter, thousands of people will walk through the doors of a food bank for the very first time.
