MPs from all parties slammed the cuts to disability benefits, which will push an estimated 150,000 people into poverty, in a five-hour debate.

    On Monday (1 July), the government confirmed that cuts will only impact new disability benefit claimants, while current claimants will be protected.

    Shit is very bad but at least it will only affect new claims. I can see a court case happening down the line to determine what a “current claimant” really is when they fuck with some people though.

      Bosses do this with union contracts too, to create tiers with differing interests, splitting and dissipating the opposition

        Yeah the ghouls in charge are basically running anti-leftist organising tactics. They have been doing so since the antizionism purges.

      Well that’s a new and terrible thing to worry about. I hadn’t thought of that.

        On the plus side the court tends to come down against the government on benefits really often. I expect there will be some fuckery at some point and then the court will come down against the gov for it.
